Hey, I’m curious… how will author reveals go? Will you simply change the ao3 settings for the collection or there’ll be something posted on twitter as well? I mean other than announcing that the fics are not anon anymore. 👀

Will the prompts that have been dropped be moved to the unclaimed area after the fest?

It feels like you should have just made this a mnsng fest bc it’s really unfair to fans of other ships to get their hopes up for a fest that is like 95% mnsng. I get that it’s a popular ship but you have to understand that it’s a little ridiculous how little variety there is. The fest feels like it’s less about omegaverse and more about mnsng. I do not intend for this to come across as hateful by any means, I simply wanted to say I’m a little disappointed with the lack of variety. Still, thank you for all your hard work in running the fest.
answering this publicly only because we’ve gotten this a few times now and we want to clear it up. for starters, “making this a minsung fest” would imply we only wanted minsung fics to come out of this event which is not the case at all, we wanted it to be open from the very beginning and did everything we could to make it even (lifting the prompt cap, daily updates of which ships still didn’t have any prompts).
from there it’s up to the authors to write from the 700(!!!) prompts that people submitted, with under 200 of those being for minsung, leaving at LEAST 500 prompts for other ships and the option to self prompt on top of that. this was not a minsung fest, it was never intended to be a minsung fest, and the fact that more minsung was posted simply means that more authors who ended up submitting a fic chose to write minsung (which is not the fault of the authors either). what people choose to write completely out of the mods hands and we can only do so much to give equal opportunity to every pairing. this was also only our first year, hopefully in the future as slickfest reaches more people, authors who write other pairings will join and add to the variety. if you want more of a certain pairing/subgender/trope/whatever, please write it!! we encourage it!!! we want everyone to participate!
if anyone has any input on how we can improve this in the future please do let us know! because so far the only feedback we’ve gotten is to change slickfest to a minsung only fest or force people to write other pairings, which we’re not going to do for obvious reasons.

hi! are we authors supposed to also change the date in our work when reveals happen? or just keep it the same day you posted the work?
slickfester · 2mo
Ik that reveals are not done yet, but there was this one fic that was 🐶🥟🦊 that said it was claimed. Are you able to tell us if it was submitted? It’s kinda the only reason I’m looking at the fics 👉👈 if not thats fine, ill continue to look until the reveals end

Is there going to be smth after the fest where ppl can work on unclaimed prompts? Srry if youve answered smth similar before!!
any unclaimed prompts will be left on the notion site, anyone can write them and post them to the collection if they wish! there just won’t be any formal claiming/reveals period for those, also they won’t be anonymous. more info abt off season will be posted after reveals end and once we’ve updated the prompt archive 💗

i really wish that everyone would have written what prompt their work was for, i just saw one revealed today and there’s literally no mention of the plot code in the summary :/
do u think u could make this a requirement next time round ? like people have to state which prompt code their work is for in the summary ?
regardless, i’ve been loving this fest! ty so much for ur hard work 😭🫶🏻
hi hi, thank you! we did ask people to do this on the submission form so we’ll use this as a little reminder for authors to add the prompt code to their notes if they haven’t already <3
if it helps, the prompt code is at the top of all the reveal images! also we’re building a library currently… so all the “claimed” prompt pages will turn into a fic archive with the prompt & a link to the fic, hopefully this will help! it’s just taking a bit longer than expected LOL.

hiii! i've been loving the fest so far thank you for your hard work :))) is there going to be like an author guessing game after fic reveals?
slickfester · 2mo
Oh my lord, I thought ya’ll were exaggerating when you said a lot of days would mainly be mnsg and chnlx
slickfester · 2mo
