if our fics are usually locked for registered users only, do they need to be unlocked to show in the collection?
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
Has the a03 collection for posting been opened yet?
are we allowed to ask for an extended deadline if we need it?
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.
can you submit multiple fills for the same prompt/claim, if you've already claimed it?
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?
hi!!! just letting you know that i (guypvssy) changed my ao3 @ from autism_kun to straystraps!!!
hello !! in the prompts that chn/any can we pick people who are not in 5kz?
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! -🦒
can we self prompt?
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
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.
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?
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 -🦒
