Hello, did you send out the checkin forms yet? I didn't receive one and unfortunately I can't write a DM on twt (authentication doesn't work again...) and I couldn't find your email address. If you post it again I'll get back to you asap! Thank you!
Hi anon! Sorry, I only just saw this! Check-ins have been sent out now, but if you still can’t see anything, please do let me know! The fest email address is in our bio if you need to contact me directly 🥰

How do your share our fic when you've finished writing?
Posting your fic is a very simply process! First, go to your claim and tap the “fulfil” button, and then fill in the information about your fic like you normally would. Then hit post, and it will be added to the collection for me to approve! You won’t be able to submit it right now because the collection is closed, but I will be opening the collection for submissions once claiming finishes. Hope that helps! 💗

I've never written for a fest before but I wanna give it a go, can you tell me about claiming in as much detail as humanly possible, please?
Aaaaa hello! I’m so glad to know that you’re interested! I’ll try my best to give you as much detail as I can!
The process of claiming is very simple. For this fest (and most others) it involves looking through the prompts on AO3 and hitting “claim” on the one(s) you like. Then, to verify your claim, there will be a google form that you’ll need to fill out! I’m this form, you give us contact details (an email address, twitter username, and ao3 username). You’ll also get the chance to ask any questions in the claiming form! From there, we’ll send you a confirmation email (normally within a few days of you submitting your claiming form) and then your claims will be confirmed! From then, you’re able to start writing! For this fest, claiming opens on June 13th, so be sure to wait until then to claim your prompts!
You’ll also receive other emails from the fest up until the deadline. These emails will keep you up to date with reveals and extension information! There’ll also be a “check-in” a few weeks before the deadline. The purpose of this is to make sure you’re still interested in writing your claim! And if at any point you find that you are no longer interested in writing your claim, there will also be a drop-out form for you to fill out.
I hope that helps! If you need anything clarifying further, let me know and I will answer any questions you may have. 🥺💗

Hi! Why is cisgender mpreg and omegaverse not allowed? Isn't writing a character as trans or intersex with vaginas just to have them pregnant transphobic? I've always seen mpreg as a way to cut off the care of our worlds biology and just be happy with the possibilities
Hello! Firstly, omegaverse is NOT banned in the fest. You are still welcome to prompt/write about the omegaverse trope!
Secondly, I am not trans myself, so I don’t want to speak above the trans community with regards to whether that would be transphobic. And of course, I welcome all kindly-worded opinions about this subject. From what I have seen personally, I understand that a lot of people have different views about cis mpreg vs. trans or intersex pregnancy in fics, and I know that cis mpreg can be triggering to some. I also know that opinions do differ, and that some people may view cis mpreg as transphobic, while others may not. This rule was in place last season as well, and wasn’t ever brought up as an issue, which is part of the reason why it’s still present in this round. Other fests also have similar rules in place.
That being said, I have also seen people who share the same view as you. I understand that cis mpreg is one of those topics where there are lots of people on either side, so I’m definitely open to seeing more opinions. Ultimately, the goal is to create a comfortable fest environment.

why does a fic have to be pwp if top/bottom dynamics are mentioned? this feels like it’s forcing people into a box over something small :/
hello! the rule is generally about creative freedom for plot-focused content, as we do not want to put a heavy focus on top/bottom dynamics when a fic has a large plot outside of said dynamics. still, we wanted to give the opportunity for prompters to request dynamics in pwp prompts - hence the rule :)

Hi! Can we write it in our native languages?
Hello! For moderation purposes, fics must be written in English. However, you’re absolutely welcome to translate into your native languages after the fest is complete 🥺💗

What happens if one can’t meet the submission deadline? I’m scared of not being able to finish writing the fic in time 🥲
We’ll be offering extensions! Also, you don’t have to submit the entire fic by the deadline! You can always make it chaptered and just submit the first chapter 🥰🥰

Does cisgender mpreg include omegaverse or not?
Hey anon! When it comes to omegaverse settings, mpreg will be allowed as long as omegas have vaginas or are intersex. Hope that helps 🥰

Hi! What is cisgender mpreg? Do you mean heterosexual insemination?
Hello! Cisgender mpreg is basically where people who are biologically male are able to become pregnant after having unprotected sex. I hope that helps 🥰
