hi hi do you plan a round 2 and if so do you have like a time roughly in mind

hello! there's very much a round 2 brewing but round 1 only just finished & there's so many different writing events going on we don't want to overwhelm people so for now it's tentatively & vaguely set for Next Year! there's adopt-a-prompt coming soon (within next week) though!!

hey hi! out of curiosity with the way twt is getting, is there any consideration behind the scenes abt moving to like bsky or somewhere else? no biggie if not i just wanna know whats up :]

hello!! not for the time being, no, but by the time round 2 rolls around we could make an account on there to crosspost everything if there's even a few people who have made it their primary socmed!

i didn’t put the prompt in my description 🫠👍🏼

all good you're not the only one 🫡 i go back to the claiming forms to check the prompt # and put it in the graphic

is it okay if we adjust the publication date of our fics once they’re live to that day so they show up in the recent listings on ao3? (thanks for all your work btw—the title cards are so cute!)

it is! i was going to post a reminder for everyone to do that post-reveals but you can do it now too! and thank you for liking them <3

Does posting start today or tomorrow?

channie lover · 2mo

I’ve submitted my fic… is there anything else I need to do? Sorry if this is a dumb question but I’ve never done an fest before and I don’t wanna miss anything!

not dumb at all!! you don't need to do anything else until reveals (tentatively set for October 12th) when you can make a promo tweet for your fic if you want, since the anonymous period will be over!

lowkey off topic cuz this is more abt future fest events but! would u ever consider having a drawings option for prompts too, in the future? imo that'd be neat ehehe

absolutely!!!! this is my first time running a fest and i didn't want to overwhelm myself with multiple types of fanworks, which is why artist sign-ups weren't a thing for this one, but please stay tuned for round 2! lots of (hopefully, good) switchups already planned!!

channie lover · 2mo

is the deadline oct 3rd KST? midnight for korea?

kst is right! day 1 of posting will start at 10pm on october 3rd so the deadline will be an hour before at 9pm!

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

channie lover · 4mo

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

channie lover · 4mo

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 · 5mo

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

channie lover · 7mo

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! -🦒
