Hello I really need help. I need to know what kind of people make up a King's counsel. I tried researching but I couldn't really find anything. I need about 6 positions held
hi! 🐧 mod here! my joseon knowledge is not as great as 🐣 mod, but he is a little sick so i will answer you! there were other positions too, but when you mentioned 6, i remembered about the 6 ministries/ministers that were very high-ranking officials:
ministry of personnel (Ijo): appointment of officials
ministry of taxation (Hojo): taxation, finances, census, agriculture, and land policies
ministry of rites (Yejo): rituals, culture, diplomacy, national civil service examinations
ministry of defense (Byeongjo): military affairs
ministry of justice (Hyeongjo): administration of law, slavery, punishments
ministry of works (Gongjo): industry, public works, manufacturing, mining
[each ministry was called a Yukjo]
now how would the ministers themselves be addressed? their official titles were, if we take minister of personnel, Ijo Panseo. similarly for minister of taxation, his title was Hojo Panseo. Panseo here translates to Minister/Chief Secretary.
sometimes, the honorific Daegam was used as a mark of respect as this honorific is akin to calling someone Your Excellency in english. it wasnt in their title but while lower ranks addressed them they would use it. so it would go something like Hyeongjo Panseo Daegam for minister of justice.
apart from them, there were the 3 state councillors and other high ranking officials.
in the 6 ministries there were further rankings, so if you need those, do send another ask! hope i could help! and please ignore any typos XD

hi, i'm wondering if in the fic there should be someone who is the 'mad king' or is it just the name of the theme?
hello! not necessarily. 'mad king' is just the name for this season since the fest is open to almost all types of content, including dead dove, which we didn't allow for the first three seasons. hence, 'mad king'. hope this helps! - 🐳

hi! i haven’t had a chance to see your earlier seasons but is my understanding correct that “mad king” is the theme of this season? and it would be a period setting right (whether bound or fluid like time travel/reincarnation like the MVs)? or did i misunderstand and mad king is just the fest name and the theme is something else 😭😭😭 (excited either way just wanted to be sure)
hello! we named it Mad King because, unlike the previous seasons, Daeso S4 is not content-restrictive. hence, "Mad King". We didn't allow some themes and tropes in the previous seasons since at the same time, we weren't age-restrictive during the previous seasons.
The fest is Joseon-themed, if you want to be certain. It can be historical, time travel, reincarnation--as long as it's Joseon AU, it's accepted here. I hope this clears things up! - 🐳

I saw on the first post that dead dove is now accepted, so we can write selfcest?
Yes, that's correct. Dead dove themes are allowed this season. And yes, you may write selfcest. And yes, if that's yoongi x yoongi we agree - 🐳

Daeso's concept this season is amazing!! Already getting ready for my prompts. Quick question, we can prompt anything and I mean anything? As long as it's tagged right?
Glad you loved it! We can't wait for your prompts!! Yes, that is correct. You can prompt for any type of content EXCEPT grooming, pedophilia, and sexualization of minors. Just make sure to use your DWs and DNWs when prompting and writers should tag their fics accordingly. - 🐳
