Hi!! I hope you're doing well!!
In case I can't finish my fic until the deadline, I can still submit it to the collection?
we are thinking of keeping the collection open past the deadline yes!!! if you still want to be a part of the fest, just shoot us a dm, and we'd be happy to accosmodate you!
If I publish my fic with a dry handjob in it before the deadline can I add it to the collection later? Or do I have to wait till the collection reveals before everyone can read about the dry handjob with eye contact
Submissions will be closed after February 14th, and we'd prefer you wait to publish it if you want to be a part of the fest! But again, this is all just for fun, we don't own the concept of dry handjobs, we're just particularly passionate about it.
would you care if i parallel play with the fest and write a non kpop dry handjob with eye contact fic and did my own anon period and reveal, not in the collection but of my own accord? just for funsies! asking as to respect the boundaries of the fest & fest mods ☺️
I don't see why not! we here at dry fest my gaslight and girlboss, but we sure as hell won't gatekeep feel free to use the Dry Handjob with Eye contact tag as well
Hello! I'm very new to this while fic thing and certainly to all fests. I want to join this fest but want to post on anonymous and remain that way. Is that possible? Also how do you actually submit a fic?
You can join anonymously !! To remain anonymous you would just have submit your fic into two collections, the Dry handjob fest collection and the Anonymous collection. To post a fic/submit a fic our fest name is "Dry Handjob with Eye Contact Fest" or "dryfest2024" and you'll just type that in where it says "post to collections" under the Associations tab on Ao3 :) happy chafing
hi hi! LOVE what you’re doing here and incredibly inspired by it. would you mind if a panfandom event popped up to so we can continue to spread the good word? would give credit where it’s due of course.
of course ! hand stuff is soooo back in for 2024, please spread the wealth.
lube is prohibited but you never said anything about piss 😼
what an astute observation....
You guys quoting mother teresa in the carrd made ridiculously squeal in joy. I'm loving the unhinged energy of this whole thing!
Thanks, our hinges broke because we refuse to oil them (we're anti-lubricant) and the metal rusted over.
ao3 collection just says kpop , is this open to all fandoms?
At the moment, this is just open for kpop fandoms, but we don't own the rights to dry handjobs with eye contact, so feel free to make your own.
Sorry this is unrelated to the fics but WHO is doing your graphics 😭😭😭
our graphic designer is a sentient rabbit trapped in a room with a laptop that has photoshop and this poster on the wall https://imgur.com/a/Me8rCNU
PEOPLE ITS ABOUT THE SLIGHTLY UNHINGED VIBE AND DYNAMIC RATHER THAN THE DRYNESS OF THE HANDJOB OR THE DURATION OF THE EYECONTACT 🗣
so the handjob doesn't have to be the main focus of the fic? it can just appear briefly?
The fic must contain, at some point, a dry handjob with eye contact. There are no other rules.
does using only precum count as dry handjob? like it will maybe hurt because it’s still dry and no lube is being used so
The council wants to note that pain is not a necessity for Dry Handjob Fest. Shafts need not get scabby unless you wish them to.
any thoughts on having an anon period? i admire and respect the simplicity of the vision here, of course, but i was kinda hoping it'd be anon at first
it depends on how many submissions we get, but we are planning on having an anon period. fill out our interest form here if you're thinking of joining so we can get a better idea on what we can expect! https://forms.gle/myUJg7skWM8Qr1Jo7
Clarifying question, can this include vaginas or are you looking for friction burns on dicks only
as long as it fits the spirit of the fest it's allowed!
i can't tell if the fest is real and am scared of filling the interest form and making a fool of myself when i find out it was a big elaborate joke please help?
while we are committed to the bit, our commitment to this fest is even more true and wholehearted. we hope you join on this journey, free from fear and cringe
