i've never done a fest before, how close are we supposed to stick to the prompts? obviously as close as possible, but i saw a prompt that i like and want to claim, and i have some inspiration but i'm not sure it's exactly what the prompter intended. is there a way to clarify with them? should i rein myself in or just go with it? thanks so much <3
Hi! I'm very sorry for the late response. To be honest, all the times I joined fests I went with self-prompts, so I may not be the most reliable person to answer this, but I do think that you won't do >exactly< what the prompter intended anyway because all prompts are open to interpretation and the only person that will do exactly like the prompter intended is the prompter itself. So I say go for it, follow the directions you have (the prompt, the do wants and they do not wants, especially the do not wants), and have fun!
I can try to search for the prompter and mediate between you two (since we have the anonymous thing), but this isn't a guarantee. If you want me to try it, let me know the code of the prompt and I'll ask on twitter to see if we can find the prompter. But, honestly, just go for it.
the prompts for the fest are all really nice but im not connecting with any of them what do i do 😭😭
hi! it happens, if you don't connect with any of the prompts and cannot think of a self-prompt, we can try some brainstorming! (maybe on dms, but i'll have to tell you to wait a little in this sorry x_x)
could you do a bingo or something like that for us with a creative block that could use a push that isn't a big responsability like a prompt??
hi! we sure can do something like a bing if there's an interest. i'll ask it on twitter as soon as i can and work it out if the answer is positive. thank you very much for the idea!
Oi!! Estamos literalmente em todo lugar 🥹🫶🏻
I'm still in denial and definitely waiting for twitter to comeback. Thank you for answering me 💌
I'm still thinking if I'll create an acc on bkuesky but if I do, I'll send you something there!
Also, can you send me the link of the document with all the prompts? I thought I saved it but I didn't 🥲
Obrigada, amg 🫂💖
Ikrrrr, i'm waiting that it returns too, kiko da tesla cannot win like this.
Bluesky so far isnt all that bad, but its definately growing.
Here is the prompt archive: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vnznefNM7upLIxO6GjgF_EStXiPlkdnWV2-GXq1XB5s/edit?usp=sharing
Qualquer coisa só gritar, anjo, se cuida e mt obrigada pela participação e interesse no fest 💙💜💛
Hi!! So... Twitter is banned here in Brazil and I'm really sad about it 'cause I'll miss everything about the fest 😭 can you please tell me the user of the fest on AO3?
hi!! im very sorry for the late response! i'm dealing with this ban as well (brasileiros em todo lugar amg!!). the AO3 user is https://archiveofourown.org/users/polyteezfest
if you planned on participate as a creator we can find a way to keep you updated with everything! hoepefully twitter will be back by the posting schedule. e forças pra vc amg!! (also, im on bluesky as @/thisiscambs, if you want to contact me)
hi! can i send a prompt even if i'm not sure which pairing i want to?
Hi! yes you can! you can mark it as any, leave open space for members you arent sure (ie: yh/wy/any). you can also leave it as a note saying that you would like that x, y or z to be part of the prompt, etc etc.
sorry for this dumb question but if im joining with a self prompt i have to send it only at the claiming form right?
hi! there's no dumb questions! and yeah, you're right! for self-prompts you can just mark "self-prompt" at the claiming form.
Thank you for answering me and helping me understand better 😊✨ can't wait to send my prompt!!
Not for it, anon! If anything, reach out and I'll try my best to answer. Can't wait to see your prompt 💜💜
Hello! From what I understand (correct me if I'm wrong), those who just want to send a prompt can't be part of this fest, unless they're a artists and/or a writer?
Hey! The rule of only artists and writers applies only for those that wish to sign-up and create a work (fic/fanart). If you wish only to give a prompt to the fest, you don't have to be an artist, a writer or even sign-up, as prompting is open for everyone.
I hope this helps, but please reach out again if I misunderstood your question!
