hi! :] What if the fic we are writing is part of a series we have? Is it okay to already add it to the series or should we wait until the authors are revealed?
not sure if this has been asked already, but are we allowed to post an epilogue/sequel to our fics later on?
hi! is the prompt form not available now? because it requires me to request access
if we submit our fic to the collection, can it still be edited if it’s unrevealed? like if we need to make changes before it’s posted is that possible? thanks!
hi! please refer to this tweet! it shows you how to edit your work once it’s added to an unrevealed collection ^^
how do you drop out? i've had a lot of personal problems that's taken a toll on my mental health, and i kept procrastinating thinking i could make it happen, but i just don't think that's how it's going to go
will u be messaging us before u post?
since this isn’t a purely msvng fest, do you have an order for posting? like will pairings be posted by oldest e.g chn/mnho, or by most popular or something else?? 🩷
HIIII!! Will there be an 'off season prompt adotion' for slickfest? I started a prompt, but I sadly won't be able to finish it in time, but I would be kind of sad to just abandon it :(
Hi! When our works are posted anonymously, are we able to change the publication date while it is anonymous or will we have to wait until after author reveals?
you guys say it's an anonymous collection. does this mean we have to upload it to ao3 anonymously/we won't get to have the work attached to our accounts?
when you first upload your fic to the collection it will automatically be marked as anonymous, only you & the slickfest account will be able to see that you are the author.
there is an “author reveals” day on our calendar which is November 30th, however this will be pushed until later since reveals will take longer considering we got alot more signups than we expected (schedule will be updated after the deadline, most likely the day before reveals). after author reveals, we will turn off the anonymous setting and the fic will appear in your name/on your account. you can choose to keep it anonymous if you prefer but you’ll have to dm us to let us know so we can help you set that up before the author reveal date.
short answer: before authors are revealed, the fic won’t be attached to your account. after author reveals, it will be on your account and you can promote it on your profile freely.
what happens if someone can't finish their fic due the deadline? sorry if it already has been asked
Hey! On the beta request form can I write my twt username for both the name and twt username questions or should I just put my generic nickname for the name part? Sorry, I know it’s a really dumb question but I don’t wanna mess it up lol
hi. i requested a beta reader a while ago and haven’t heard anything back. was wondering if sign ups were stopped or something
hello!! i didnt see anything mentioned about it but i just wanted to be 100% sure - is dubcon okay as long as its not mentioned as a hard no on the prompt?
