help(❁´◡`❁)
For art, how do you want the artists to post? Or would you prefer the art to be sent to you?
In the e-mail we sent upon signing up, we included directions. After filling out the final submission for, artwork will be still posted by artists themselves on the day assigned to their element/s. This system was decided on so that we don't take away any engagement from the artists. However, if you prefer for us to post it ourselves, or you don't mind that we do, that can be arranged as well.
since my work is being posted on the 26th, am i waiting until it’s shared and posted before changing the publication date? (i cant date a work in the future and think you’ll be posting it before it’ll be the 26th in my timezone)
Hi, I added my works to the elements collection. Will we get an alert that it has been approved? Are they being read before, or is it to check that everything has been uploaded properly? Thanks for organising the event :)
We don't really fully read them before (we always trust by default that you followed our content guidelines), but to let you know that we got it and everything is fine, we leave a kudo on your work through the minsungmod acct. If there are any issues that we need to check, we just DM or email you ☺️
hi !! Im participating in the elements event and i wanted to make sure: so I added my work to this year's collection, then I posted it, is that alright? I wasn't too sure of what to do so i'm checking up
hi there! i remember there being a post about a mnsvng discord server, but i can’t find it anymore 🥺 i’d love to join if it’s still open to new members!
here it is! https://discord.gg/87b32GqZer
admittedly it's a bit quiet there, and maybe that's partly on us, but if anyone wants to start discussion there, it's always welcome!
hello! why can't you be an advocate for being an anti-rape/cnc minsung fics since you have the following? find a lot of people who also have large following and ask them to join you. don't you guys find it disgusting? how many are you here on this account? anyone thought about saying something so people won't write about it? so people won't support it? or it's just okay because you don't want any responsibility for it?
While we are a fic/content modding account, we can only be responsible for moderating the content that is submitted to our events. From the beginning we have never allowed rape/non-con content in ANY AND ALL of the events that we oversee. If you have any concerns about our events, or any of the content that have been featured in them, please let us know and we'll try to deal with them in accordance with our rules.
haii dear mod, could you give pointers for first time writers? (also, i'm about to publish on ao3 for the first time, so do we need to covert our text from doc to ao3 textbox while copying and all?)
AO3 has a rich text format where you can just paste from your document, and for the most part it keeps formatting. It can get glitchy at times, though, so for more tips you can check this post. You can also use this code converter -- just make sure to follow instructions.
That aside, we suggest careful tagging. Don't undertag, but don't overtag either. Make sure the tags you use are relevant tropes and plot points used in the story. For anything else that might be triggering or noteworthy, but aren't really big parts of the story, you can mention those in the author's notes instead.
Good luck posting for the first time, anon!
Can we rec or share a deleted fic? Except for those that author themselves don't wanna share? The fics i have has been deleted and the author is not active on socmed ( i think publicly)?
hi mods! a question about content allowed in the fic: i had a contingent idea that had a theme of homophobia in it (not from minsung themselves or their friends, just the town they are in.) i wanted to make sure this was allowed since i wasn’t exactly sure the extent of serious content allowed. its not anything graphic but it is heavily alluded to as a large reason to why they fear being together esp based on bad experiences lino had in the past. ty for putting this event together!
hi mods!! super sorry if you answered this at some point but i have a question about the next round of ficathon: what happens if we have started working on an off-season fic based on a prompt that'll be legacy next round and shared a bit about it online? i know i won't finish it anytime soon but i'd really like to keep working on it - is there any way to still write it for ficathon? (i don't think i shared the exact prompt, just snippets from the fic)
We suggest not sharing any more snippets for now! You can claim it when the time comes. Hopefully people will have forgotten those shared bits and pieces by then? 😂 But truly, it won't be the end of the world (or the event) if people easily figure out your fic, so it should be alright! 💚🩷
Hi! How do I send in a prompt for the ficathon?
then i would like to rec oh please give me mercy no more by soy_dxra (https://archiveofourown.org/works/42488946?view_adult=true)
