Hi! Super excited for this fic fest! I have one question, once the submission is open is there a limit for authors to submit the work?
There is no limit to how many works one author can submit! However to submit new works they must have claimed the prompt before the claiming was closed!
Do you have any personal fav prompts?
every single prompt is a gem for us✨ (the ones i sent in 😈)
hi! are chaptered works required to be completed before submitted? ty
Hello! No, chaptered fics are not required to be completed before submission. The total word count submitted needs to be over 2k, and that's it!
😭 so many I wanna choose
You can choose more after submitting your first claim hehehe...👀
Hi, platonic anon again! I tried DM-ing you and it says I have to pay for Twitter verification first...do you have an email or some other way for me to show which prompts I was curious about? Sorry for the difficulty once again.
Hello! Yes we do have mail, you can mail us your twitter @ so we can dm you first! email: [email protected]
Hi, I just had one question! I prefer to write platonic things, and I don't want to disappoint people who are prompting and hoping for romantic fills. Aside from the obvious (explicit, "x" in the prompt, etc) is there any way for me to make sure that I'm not letting anyone down if I participate? Thank you so much in advance! <3
Hi, the easiest way to solve this would be if you DMed us about the prompt you want! During prompting we track who submits which prompt so if it would make you feel more confident, we could contact the prompter for you and ask if they're okay with it ♥
I had the question abt the number of prompts on the form: THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME KNOW haha. I figured that was the case but I just wanted to make sure! Never joined an event like this before and I def don't wanna let anyone down iykwim 🙏❤️
<33 glad we could help!
Just put my claims in! I'm just wondering tho.. it asked for 3 prompt choices, which is fine. But what if I only want to write 1 prompt/fic? Can I just do that? Or would I need to fulfill all 3 prompts if (God forbid) I get approved for all of them (unlikely, but just wanna know!) 😅 thanks!
We ask for your top 3 picks going from most wanted to least wanted, and give the 1st one that is not claimed. For example, if your top pick is not claimed yet, you get your top pick. But if your top pick is already claimed, you get the second pick and so on. But only 1 of them, don't worry haha!
I'm still very much on the fence, but thinking about joining... I am NOT a strong writer 😅 But I have 3 important-to-me questions:
can you claim more than 1 prompt (2) would it be possible the claim one of your own prompts is it possible to drop out, at any time, if life gets in the way too much? (Not that I'd plan to drop out, but I want to cover my bases).Ty all for putting this together! Regardless of my joining, I hope everyone has a good time and I look forward to seeing everything ♡
Hello! We hope you are having a nice day!
1) you cannot do more than 1 fic claims simultanously, you need to submit your claimed prompt to claim another prompt. however you can claim the art medium of the same prompt simultanously. after submitting, you are free to claim again!
2) you can claim one of your own prompts, you can also self prompt! ( will be available in the claiming form)
3) and you are allowed to drop out! just make sure to notify us.
if you have any other questions feel free to send another retro! we hope this helps <33
Hello! I have sent an email regarding the anonymity, just making sure if it got sent properly! Thank you very much
Hello! Yes, we've received it!
Hi guys! This might be a really oblivious question, but it’s my first time here and everything looks awesome! The prompt claim opens tomorrow, 1am my time cos I’m from Australia and we’re only an hour different from KST time, where it’ll be midnight. Is it first in first serve or is it luck of the draw? I’m a little worried lots of the prompts are going to be cleared out really fast, which would be so sad.
Either way, thank you so much for organising everything! I think it’ll be a really fun event!!💕💕
Hello! Yes, sorry, but it's first come first serve... I wouldn't worry about prompts getting cleared out too soon though! Last year we had around 30-35 entries, and not all of them got claimed in the first few hours, so definitely try to claim a prompt when you can ♥ We will try to mark the claimed prompts as quickly as possible, so you should be able to see what is still left for claiming.
I am also asking the other organizers too to be sure, but - since author reveals are on the 30th and MinChan Bingo submission ends on the 31st, if the prompt we choose works for our bingo squares as well, are you alright with the single work being included in both events?
Yes, only if you're submitting the work for Minchan Bingo /after/ the Fest author reveals!
I am literally INCAPABLE to writing a "prompt" that isn't a thick-ass wall of text... and I know that's not what a "prompt" is supposed to be 😭 help me! 🥲 idek if my suggestions will make it into the lists coz of this, but I just want yall creators to know that you can pick and disect my suggestions apart and make them completely your own! I'm just a wordy b*tch and can't stop yapping 🥲🫂 (proven by this rs paragraphongus) ❤️
Hello! There are no such rules to prompting, so please don't feel like you need to limit yourself! Write however and as much as you desire to write <3
Hello! I am the one who asked about artist reveal. Very sorry for the confusion, I meant is it possible to stay anonymous! Should I send a DM regarding this later after the prompt claiming has started/ended?
Yes, you can stay anonymous! It's best to message us before you claim a prompt (maybe a day or two before claiming starts if you find a prompt you like), just so that we know who is going to remain anonymous. -🧡
Hello! First of all, thank you for organising! I am interested in participating as an artist, and I'd like to ask whether the revealing is a must, since I'm quite shy regarding things like this. Thank you for your time!
Hi! Do you mean you'd like to draw, but don't want your artwork to be seen by anyone? Or do you mean that you'd like to stay anonymous, but your art to be posted and seen? Because we could post the artwork on the fest account and let you stay anonymous! It would be great if you could DM us and we will find the best solution for you -🧡 (sorry about the late reply)
