Hi mods, are we supposed to get a confirmation email for any prompts we claimed for the adopt a prompt event? I sent in a form but haven’t received anything yet 🫠
Hi! You're good to go after submitting the claiming form. We won’t be sending confirmations. Happy creating!
hi! is there a deadline for submission of fics via adopt a prompt event?
Hello! There is no deadline for the adopt-a-prompt event :)
Hi mods! Will there be any type of off-season event where people can write anything that was dropped or not claimed before a potential next round?
Announcement coming soon!
Hello! I'm having so much fun reading all the fics! Do you think you could publish a list of the authors that participated so that we can guess who wrote what? Thank you!
Hi! We’re glad you are enjoying all the works ☺️ Here’s the list: https://x.com/seungchanfest/status/1800003961266823523?s=46&t=Hy8gkGhqT9iMzfm7dGUjEQ
Hiii! Thank you for organizing this :) I was wondering when fics will start being released? I literally can't wait 😭
Hi! Work reveals will start on May 27. ☺️
hi!! is it possible for one claimed prompt to be created into multiple fics by one person? thank u in advance for answering this query!! ☺️
Hello! Could you please DM us so we can clarify what you mean? Thank you 😊
Hiiiiii! I feel like this is a really stupid ask, but I've never participated in something like this before, so I just don't know how this part works. During the check-in, what happens? Do we give an estimate on how much we have left to do? Do we send you the full wip? I just don't want to be caught off-guard and then struggle to get the check-in process finished lol. Thanks! xoxo
Hi! Thank you for reaching out, this is a great question. The check-ins are designed to be low-pressure so please don't stress out too much about them. We will ask general questions about progress and whether you're still participating in the fest, but that's about it! There are no word count requirements for check-ins and it's up to you regarding how much you want to tell us about your progress, we're not asking for specifics.
hiya! what will participants need to provide for each check-in?
Hello! The check-ins are designed to be low-pressure so the mods just want to know how things are going on your end. There will be questions about progress and whether you're still participating in the fest, but that's about it! No word count requirements for check-ins.
Hi! Sorry, I'm new to this kinda thing;; I see there is an author reveal? Do I have to be revealed at all? I might have to make a twitter account for this…
Sorry for getting back to your question late, but yes, there is an author reveal. At the end of the writing period, all the works will initially be posted anonymously on AO3 and Twitter. After a certain amount of time has passed, everyone’s AO3 handles and Twitter (if the authors have one) will be revealed.
There’s no pressure for you to create a Twitter account, however we post most of the updates for the fest there :)
how will you know when someone claims your prompt?
Hi! Kindly check the prompt archive here: https://x.com/seungchanfest/status/1752829110299382194?s=46
If the Writer/Artist column is filled with the blue color, it means the prompt has been claimed 😊
how often are u sending out confirmation emails 😳😳😳
We send out confirmation emails as we receive claims. We are currently all caught up on sending confirmations so if you haven't received yours yet, make sure to check your spam or junk in case it went there. If you still haven't received it, reach out to us!
Is there a reason there isn’t questions asking for either Twitter or AO3 handles on the claiming form? The only thing you ask is email which I’ve never seen before.
Hello! We asked for email on the claiming form because that is the preferred method for sending claim confirmations for the mods. Right now, we do not need to collect Twitter or AO3 handles, which is why we didn't ask for them. We will ask for them during submissions!
If we submitted a claim form, should we expect to hear back in a few days?
The mods are preparing the email confirmations. Once we finish them, we’ll send them to you soon and you can begin writing! :)
The info guide says we can claim two prompts. Does that mean we would fill out the claiming form twice? One of each? Or will there be an option for a second claim on the form.
Hello! To claim two prompts, please submit separate claiming forms, one for each prompt you would like to claim. Please also include alternative prompts in case you don’t get your first choice.
What time will claiming open
It’ll be at 8:00 AM (KST) ☺️
