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. 🥺💗
