hi admin ;> im sorry if this is a silly question but have u posted a new timeline for the posting of fics?
can i just say all the graphics are super adorable? seriously, so pretty ;;
hi admin!!! im wondering, have You read the fics already?
Aaaa I'm so excited for all of the fics and my gift. I can't wait I'm vibrating with energy!
hello! sorry for the dumb question but are we supposed to send our fic via email on the 4th and then post it on the 9th? also, if so, would it be possible to get an extra day or two to finish editing the fic? thank you
you can follow the guideline i linked on the email! tldr you have to submit it into the collection by the 4th of feb, but it will stay hidden and nobody will be able to access the story except for you and the mod. the mod will be the one who reveals it to the public on 9 (or the specified time later on). if you need an extension, please reply to the email or dm me!
Hi! I was just wondering out of curiosity what happens with the prompts that have been claimed after the valentines matching? Will they be posted separately from the event whenever the author finishes the fic or will they be like a second valentine? 🤔
Hi! Maybe it's a bit silly to ask, but when we submit our fics when the deadline comes, will we use the gift feature on ao3, or will we post without it?
It's not silly at all~ on the submission date, you will have to post the fic into a (private, undisclosed) collection and gift your fic to your Valentine (by this time, everyone will have their Valentine's ao3 username already). I'll make a mini tutorial near the date for people who are not familiar with this feature ^^
hello! i'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but if we're aiming to make a long-chaptered fic, does it have to be completely finished by the time of release?
Hii, if you're making the fic into a chaptered fic, you'll have to finish at least one chapter finished on the submission day, and then you can continue writing even after the event ended (with the intention of finishing it). It'd be even better if you already have several chapters already ^^
If someone gives up on writing and pulls out, will they still get a gift?
yes, because they already became someone else's valentine in the beginning and their fic is already being written by that person. the person who may not get a gift is probably the valentine who got their prompt dropped by the initial claimer, but don't be too stressed about this if you got a valid reason to drop out ^^ as long as it's communicated to us, things can be arranged and everyone will still get a gift, hopefully.
hi! would an outline be sufficient for the first check in?
Hello! I was wondering what other option is there to let you know we're working on the fic besides sending our progress? Asking because I'm pretty insecure about my wips when they're still in the early stages ^^"
we can send our progress through twitter dms right?
Hi! I got the prompt and the valentine's notes okay, but I was wondering if we're also gonna get the identity of out valentines or i remember wrong /gen Thank you!
Will I only receive my claimed prompt through email or would I get it through twitter too?
