If there’s anything more you’re confused about please feel free to send a message! -🐢
very excited for this fest thank you!!! was waiting for a sookai one for so long! is it allowed that the main pairing is written with other members for a while but sookai is endgame of the story?
would reincarnation count as mcd >< even though the prompt i send in implies a happy ending?
hello! i love this fic fest but i have a doubt
can i make a prompt like "mamma mia au"? bc the plot of the movie is about a daughter wanting to find her dad bc her mom got 3 affers when she's younger and in the end of the movie her mom marries with the love of her life (one of those 3 man from before). I wish that ending be a sookai ending but i am not sure if this prompt is valid bc the other two affers ._.
(the movie is about how that mom played by Meryil Streep deels gets back with Pierce Brosnan)
When is the last day for prompting forms gonna end? I think I need a bit few times to think of a better prompt🙇♀️
Can we participate with art or do u only accept fics?
This is my first time joining this 🙇🏻♀️ and im still new as well, i saw the rules and guidelines but im still unsure on how it works and what is expected from each schedule/date?
Hello! I’ll give you a run down!
Prompting: There will be a form posted that people can fill out with prompts they want to have written for the fest (not the prompts they want to write, that would be self-prompting)
Prompt viewing: All the prompts people submitted will be in a spreadsheet people can view, each prompt will have a code
Prompt claiming: A form will be sent out where people will submit the code of the prompt they want to write on a first comes first serves basis (if the prompt you wanted gets claimed, you can try again until you get the prompt you want)
Check ins: An email will be sent out to the participants checking in on how the fic writing is going. You don’t have to have made progress in your fic, it’s more of a reminder of the fest in general!
Drop deadline: The last day you can drop out of the fest
Submissions: You will submit your fest on ao3 under our collection but it will be private and anonymous.
Posting begins: When posting begins your fic will be unprivated to be read, this will happen with all the fics over a course of a few days
Author reveals: The writers will be taken off anon and everyone will know who wrote each fic!
That’s pretty much it! Thank you for asking! -🐢
we can promt as much as we want? :~
is there a separate self-prompting form? or will self-prompting take place at the same time as regular prompting?
hi, is self-prompting allowed? super excited for the fest btw!
