What is the procedure for international buyers?
Hi there! We will be shipping internationally but are limited by USPS/UPS restrictions.
Hi! Will you be posting the contributor lineup soon? I'm curious and excited to know who got in hehe
Hi there!! Yes we will!!
Keep an eye out on our socials! 👀
Would you offer feedback for writers who didn't end up being accepted, as to why they didn't make the cut?
Hi there - due to the large amount of writer apps we received, we will not be giving feedback.
Hello!! How many apps did you guys got? Super curious
Hi there! We received: 81 Page Artist, 58 Writers, and 32 Merch Artist Apps!
What time is the application deadline today? Thanks!
Hi there! The deadline is 11:59 pm PST! Thank you!!
Hello! If we've applied to projects with some of the same mods before, do our apps need to have brand new samples that they haven't seen before?
Hi there! You're more than welcome to apply with works the mods have seen before - we encourage that you apply with what you feel is your best work! Happy Applying~
I'm a long time writer, but only recently started writing for bkdk. If I don't have currently published work within the limits but can share a fic through drive that does work for guidelines is that okay for application?
Hi there! Thats no problem!!
You may submit an excerpt of your bkdk piece - but it must be able to standalone (as noted in the guidelines!) This can be a doc/drive link.
Please remember that we do need to see at least one full and complete piece in your other samples! Thank you for your question, and let us know if you have any others!
Hello! Is there a chance for the application period to be extended? Convention season and Pride hit me hard this month
Hi there! Unfortunately we don't plan to extend applications so that we can stick to our schedule! We hope your conventions and pride month celebrations are going well! <3
Hi there! I have a question in regards to providing a writer portfolio. I would like to link my ao3 but I've been writing on there for like a decade and some of my earlier writing is a little rough lol When the mods look over an ao3 profile do they only look at recent fic? Or only bnha fic? Or?
Mostly I'm just trying to figure out whether it'd be better to put all my best fic (some of which are from a different fandom) on google drive and link that instead. Thank you!
Hi hi! Mods may browse portfolios as needed, and it is mostly based upon the criteria we are looking for in this project. While we may assume most recent works are a reflection of current ability, if you feel there are pieces that don’t reflect your current skill level or you would not like to be included, feel free to share your portfolio as a Google drive link with a selection of what you feel are your best works instead!
Thank you!
Hello! I just wanted to say that I can't see the guidelines, from the carrd and either the applications form. I don't know if it's just my problem but I would like to ask for a direct link
Hi there - no problem here are the links:
Application Guidelines: https://bkdkbkdragonriders2.carrd.co/#applicationguidelines
Contributor Guidelines: https://bkdkbkdragonriders2.carrd.co/#contributorguidelines
is it alright if my bkdkbk sample is a poly ship sample, e.g. bkdktd?
Hi there! Yes this is okay!
hello what is a credit name? q
Hi there - a credit name is essentially your pen name - or what you have as your name, for example, on AO3. (Social Mod here so for example, my name is Andie, but my credit name is FireHeartAW).
Hope that helps!
Hi. For our samples, is okay if one of them is 3.4k instead of between 2k and 3k?
Hi there - we are only allowing a wiggle room of 100 words on each end.
Hello! Just curious- will you be sending rejection emails alongside acception emails?
Hi there - all applicants will be notified of their result on July 2nd, so yes!
Is it alright if completed sample pieces have more words then 3000? (In this case 3500)
Hi there! We have a bleed of 100 words wiggle room - on both applications and as a contributor expectation. If you can cut it down to that amount (i.e. 3.1k we'd allow that) as the mod team will be reviewing several applications! Thank you!
