hi beautiful mods! just curious, did you not have a poll of when to release fics ("all at once" vs "once an hour") and i believe "all at once" won the poll? if so, will you be implementing that from tomorrow, seeing as today's release was gradual?
thanks for all your hard work!
We apologize for the confusion! The poll was originally made to aid the mod with posting, but the issue has since been resolved.
We understand that readers are eager to see all the fics for the day, but we also want to encourage readers to take in each fic as it is uploaded, hence the 30 minute increments. Our hope is to allow each author to shine before another fic is shared, as we want to highlight all of the hard work put into each fic!

which pair has the most submissions?

Hi! I’m not sure if you have answered this before but I was wondering if you can reveal yourself if you wrote a prompt and it was picked?
As long as it is not a self prompt that is fine!
🍓
would it be alright to open the prompt archive again? maybe when the postings start? i'm really curious to see which ones of the ones i sent in were claimed!
Due to popular demand we will reveal all written prompts during author reveals. Please stay tuned!
🍓
i have a question!! ☝🏽🤓 i'm just curious, do you guys (mods) read the works submitted in the collection? what if an author decided to add or remove stuff there but you've already read their work...
Mods have reader guilt and have chosen not to read anything submitted until posted lol
🍓
i made edits like few weeks/month ago. can we know when did you make the graphics so we can know if it's necessary to send an email? ^^
We are checking all graphics made the day before posting them, so as long as you haven’t made edits within the past 24 hours of submitting your fic you’re all good to go!
🍓
Hi Mods! Excited for reveals. Will they be in order of submission or revealed randomly?
Submissions will be revealed randomly :)
what happens if you miss the submission deadline?
Please email us if you need help. We can work out a schedule with you!
Hello if we need a few days extension is it better to ask you through dm on X or by email?
Please email us! We have communicated with most of our authors who need an extension, but if you need to adjust your submission deadline please email!
if an author wanted to remain anonymous even after the scheduled reveals, would that be at all possible? :)
Yes that is possible! Please email us and we will make note of it :)
hi! on September 22nd, are you going to send an email with the instructions to submit the fics or are we supposed to send you an email before that date when we're done? since the submission in other fests usually lasts a few days i'm just wondering if we have a few days to submit the work into the collection or if the 22nd is the last day to do so. thank you!
We’ll be sending an email 24 hours in advance of the Sept. 22 deadline with submission guidelines and more information. If you would like to submit before then you can send us an email for the directions!
🍓
Do we submit fics in Google doc form?
Nope! We will be sending out an email for submission guidelines 24 hours before the deadline (9/22 12 PM KST).
If you’re curious, you’ll just be uploading your fic to our collection like a usual AO3 upload!
🍓
hi! so if our fic is multi-chaptered how does that work with the initial upload -> author reveal -> updating chapters? would we potentially update while still under anonymous ? :S thank you! <3
Hello! One your fic is uploaded in our collection it will act as a regular fic upload. Author reveals will be 10/10 12 PM KST, so after that you will no longer be anonymous!
Hope that helps :)
🍓
hiii if theres any unclaimed prompts could people still write for this fest??
Unfortunately claiming is closed for this round sorry ): -🍓
hi! how do we submit fics to the fest when we're done?
Please email us when you have finished and would like to submit! -🍓
