hello, how do the submissions work as authors? do we fill out the form that was emailed to us, then immediately submit our fic on the ao3 collection? or do we need to fill out the form then wait for your confirmation first before we can submit the fic? are there any guidelines like how to break up a lengthy fic into different parts, not adding our personal author notes, etc. or is that up to us the authors? thank you very much!
Hello, dear! fill out the form and submit your fic immediately kindly. The form is only used for the graphics and we will need to read your work before accepting it ☺️
as for how to break the fic, that's up to you I'd you want it to be chaptered or one shot. As long as it's finished all is good!
Please do not share any personal information in your notes until after reveals, we will do a guess who period so we can't give away the authors identity just yet 🤭
Do i have to finish my first prompt to claim another one?? I'm afraid I couldn't meet the deadline 🤧
Hello! Just received the check-in email and saw the beta question. If we are interested in having a beta look over our fic, how would that work? Can I ask a friend to do it for me or is it assigned by the mods?
Hello! if you have a friend to do it for you then that's cool, no need to answer yes for that question. We only added that for people who want a beta reader but cannot find one on their own, or they are shy to share with friends etc
The way we usually do that, is that we post announcements for each author who needs a beta reader and match them with the first suitable volunteer!
Hey um it's me again, I was the one who asked to join in the earlier message, I messaged you in your Twitter page that day as the form I opened said it was closed and I'm sorry for the trouble. I still would love to participate if there's any chance...
Hey.. um I just discovered your Twitter page and let me tell you that it was the best thing that has happened to me. I'm kinda sad I couldn't participate for this round but I'll wait for the next one. I really appreciate your effort and everything. I wish you the best of luck and lots of love ❤️
hii, i was wondering what's the "check in" period of the fic about? how's it different from the "submission" one? also, if someone wants to stay anonymous, is it possible or are reveals obligatory?
kinda random but wanted to give mod rose a shout out! they're doing god's work with this fest and i'm sure it must not be easy ;; as an avid follower of this fest i'm so thankful for everything you and the other mods do. hope your days are filled with joy and your pillow is always cold <3
hellooo, may i ask what do the bolded with white background prompts mean? are they taken? ty!!
Hello!! Can I still claim a prompt?
Where can I find the masterpost with the fests dates/rules/etc?
here, anon! (the rules are shared through the forms: prompting form, claiming form, etc) https://x.com/UltTopKJI/status/1857519137410396621?t=wTl7KTanAQsX4rClVAx6-Q&s=19
Hello!! I have a few questions 😁Just for confirmation, we can choose any prompts including from the previous rounds, right? And is it okay to choose only one prompt in the claiming form? And I'm uncomfortable in writing smut, so is it okay if I don't include any smut scene and just mention it very briefly?
If I claim a prompt and finished the fic, can i still claim another one even after the set claiming period? Thank you!
Hi! Can i comms someone to claim the prompt? Thank you ♡
