Ah, sorry, so more context, i was thinking about self promting after i finish my first fic , but i was looking at my friends submission form becuase im helping them beta and it said they'd get their code at a later after the master doc was finished? Off topic but they havn't yet and they're not worried about it but i am-? Should they have gotten one by now? But sorry anyways, when someone self promts in the future does it just get auto added to the master doc, its immediately claimed, and your givin your code immediately to? Or do you have to find it on the masterdoc yourself?
(Im sorry i know thats still not incredibly clear, how and when do you get the code after you self promt?)

oh oh okay, understood! firstly no, nothing to worry about if you haven’t gotten a prompt code for a self-prompt yet. they aren’t necessary and are only there for posting purposes, so if you self-prompted early we DO have your prompt code in a google sheet we just haven’t sent them out yet (because there’s many and we have been prioritizing getting other stuff sorted - but now we’re pretty much caught up so hopefully we will be able to send them out soon)

as for the masterlist, our self prompts aren’t there yet either for similar reasons. since we’re doing it through notion everything has to be entered manually and we just haven’t had time to get to it yet, and since it’s not a high priority task we’ve left it until we‘re caught up on all the other stuff!

when you submit a self-prompt you’ll receive a twitter dm or an email within 24 hours (max. 48, depending on the day 😬) just confirming your pairing, prompt, and category. at the bottom of the message is where you’ll find your prompt code: “For posting, your prompt code is [blank]. Please make sure to save this somewhere!“

as mentioned, anyone who submitted a self prompt before the claiming forms opened will not have received a prompt code yet but we’ve already formatted and noted them down! we just need to send out the messages and transfer them to notion (which again should be happening soon).

hopefully that clarifies everything!!! if you have any more questions or need me to clarify anything else about it free to ask ^^
