if our fics are usually locked for registered users only, do they need to be unlocked to show in the collection?

no need! you can submit with your usual settings, they'll still show in the collection, just locked to be viewed by registered users only!

If I post the fic on the collection? Would it be automatically anonymous? I don’t want to mess it up since it’s my first time posting :c

yes it will be!! the collection is set to unrevealed and anonymous so everything will be hidden until postings and anonymous until reveals, no worries!!

Has the a03 collection for posting been opened yet?

not yet! once claiming ends we'll email all authors with the link & tweet out instructions on how to submit

are we allowed to ask for an extended deadline if we need it?

channie lover · 2mo

Will prompt adoptions be a thing after the fest is complete? I'm late to the party, and I'll be too busy to finish anything in time, but some of these prompts are pretty cute and it could be fun to write them when I have free time again.

absolutely if enough people express interest! you could also claim the prompt you like now and submit after the fest deadline (that's on september 22nd!) if you so desire, we're pretty loose with the rules!

channie lover · 3mo

can you submit multiple fills for the same prompt/claim, if you've already claimed it?

channie lover · 5mo

Hiii, I saw a prompt I want to write but it’s requested to be explicit and… I’d rather write it not explicit! Is that okay? Should I just choose a different prompt?

that's perfectly okay! the prompts are just meant to inspire, the writers don't have to follow them to a t! -🦒

hi!!! just letting you know that i (guypvssy) changed my ao3 @ from autism_kun to straystraps!!!

channie lover · 5mo

hello !! in the prompts that chn/any can we pick people who are not in 5kz?

some have "the members" or "anyone from skz" in the full prompt description/notes, but those that don't should be okay for crossovers! -🦒

hey! so i have two doubts - 1. how&when can we claim another prompt after being done with one? 2. when are we supposed to post, and to which collection? (tysm for doing this <3)

hello!!! you just need to resubmit a form and we'll email you confirming your claim just like the first time! we're thinking of opening the collection maybe a month before the final submission date (september 22nd) so if you finish with your first prompt way before that and since we have no check-ins we're just going to take you at your word and allow you to claim a second one! we'll post (and email the writers!) a link to the collection as well as instructions on submitting closer to the date! -🦒

channie lover · 5mo

can we self prompt?

yep!! there's a section in the claiming form if you scroll past the first part :] -🦒

channie lover · 5mo

Hi! super excited for the fest! All the fics have to be chan-centric, but is it okay if we use a different POV or multiple POVs, not just Chan's? Want to make sure before I claim anything

channie lover · 5mo

Is there any way you're (as in you, not me) are able to ask the prompter of a prompt a question? I kinda of want kill off a minor character, but they don't have anything listed in the dos or don'ts section, and I don't want to ruin the fic by putting that in there if its something triggery to them as the minor character is sorta of integral to the plot even though they won't be around for long.

we can definitely try! prompting was anonymous but if you tell us which prompt it is we can put a tweet out and hope the prompter sees it and gets in contact with us! -🦒

Hello! One more question as I didnt see this in the card! Are we allowed to do chartered fics for this? As in I have it fully written by the submission date but only post the first chapter when it's due and then continue to do chaptered releases after the reveals? Or do we have to submit the entirety of the work?

it's absolutely allowed!! even if you only had one chapter fully written by the submission date that'd be fine too!! we really just want this to be as stress-free as possible :D -🦒

channie lover · 5mo

I'm (probably) blind, but I couldn't find a rules post or anything. Do we have to keep which prompt we chose a secret? Is there a specific collection we'll need to post under on a03 when we upload the fic/will the fic be hidden until reveals? Or is it more casual?

it's all in our carrd under the writing section!! but yes, all works will be anonymous until reveals, so it'd be good to be as secretive as possible about your prompt! the ao3 collection that writers will submit their fics in will open closer to the submission date, and of course we'll let everyone know when that is and the process they'll have to follow -🦒
