frequently asked questions

How do I submit a prompt?
Through the prompt submission form! One prompt per form.
How do I claim a prompt?
Through the claiming form! Pick 3 of your preferred prompts and list them in order of preference. You will receive an email confirming which prompt you have received.
Can I claim more than one prompt?
Only after you have completed and submitted your first prompt! You are free to take on another, but this must be submitted by the deadline so think carefully before you do.
Can I self-prompt? Can I self-prompt and claim a prompt at the same time?
Yes you can self-prompt! However, you cannot self-prompt and claim at the same time. One must be completed before the other. If you have claimed a prompt and completed it, then by all means self-prompt, but bear in mind this work also must be completed by the deadline also so ensure you have enough time to do so.
Can I contact my prompter/writer?
Direct your messages to admin via email, CC, or DM, and they'll send it along!
Can I write a chaptered fic?
Of course! So long as all chapters are completed before submission and we have note of this. You are free to post the chapters when you would like to!
What happens if I miss a check-in deadline?
If you have asked for an extension and submit before this extended deadline, then it's all good. However, if you do not reply to the check-in email nor contact the admin, your prompt will be dropped for claiming again and you will not be able to participate in the fest.
