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! -🍓
hi!! will people see our original prompts when reveals happen, or will the prompts stay secret?
We will not be including which prompt authors wrote for in the fic reveals, but if authors want to include it in their AO3 notes that is welcome! -🍓
Are side characters allowed to be members from other groups or should we stick to just the txt members?
Side characters can be members from other groups. What matters most is the main pairing of the fic should only be a specific pair of xtx -🍓
so like what if i was hypothetically in the hospital for post surgery for the last 10 days and i hypothetically missed check in and i hypothetically have 11k already. ummmmmm
Please dm us 😭 -🍓
Hi i dont know if this was asked before but if you finish your prompt are you allowed to submit for another prompt?
Sorry for the late response, if you finish your prompt please email us so you can upload to the collection. After that, you can submit for another prompt! -🍓
Hii can we have our fics incomplete on the final submission date?
If your fic is chaptered it can be incomplete so long as the first chapter is over 1k words. If it is a oneshot (not chaptered) we ask that it be completed.
🍓
hii i filled out the form to claim a prompt a few days ago but didnt get an email or anything so im worried it didnt go thru? how can i check? : )
Hello! All our emails have been sent out so probably check your spam folder! If it was sent to spam please add our email [email protected] to your contacts to avoid this in the future. But if you check and it’s not there please try filling out the prompt form again! You can also send us your information by emailing or DMing us and we can check if it’s just an error on our side :) -🌻
