FAQ

What is a Fest?
A fest is an event where you have a certain amount of time to complete a story for a certain topic.
This Fest is a 'prompt meme collection’, which means that this is a collection where participants submit/leave prompts for writers to claim/write in their work.What is a Prompt?
A prompt is a story idea you would like to see written. In our case, your prompt consists of a poem, a few tropes you like, a ship (optional) and your DNWs ("do not wants" = things the prompter doesn't like to read)How can I submit a Prompt?
Once the prompting period starts you can submit your prompts by filling out a google form (linked on the carrd and on twt). All prompts are added to the collection by the mod for this particular fest.What is a Claim?
A claim is when you, as a writer, say "hey, I like this prompt (story idea) and I want to write it". If you claim a prompt, it's yours to write and you have until the end of the writing period to come up with a story that fits it.How do I claim a story for this fest?
Wait for claiming period to be announced.
Read through the submitted prompts on AO3.

Fill out the claiming form (will be linked on carrd and twt when it’s time) to confirm your claim
Yay!What happens if I can't complete my fic?
The fest allows for WIPs to be posted for the submission. Don't worry if it's not finished. Your first chapter/s should meet the required word count (1.5k) though.
What is the required word count?
The required word count for this fest is 1.5k for both one shots and WIPs.I need extra time!!!
If you are already more or less done with your fic or you know you will be able to finish soon, fill out the extension form (will be linked on carrd and twt) to get a few extra weeks of writing. Make sure you submit by the date and time stated on the form!What happens if I can't write the fic at all?
Life happens. It just does and we all understand. If you need to drop out of the fest please fill out the drop out form and then drop your claim on AO3. Please don't just vanish into thin air and ghost me.I'm ready! Where do I submit my fic?
First, submit your fic on AO3 (click "fulfill claim" in your claims tab and then you can upload as usual). Then fill out the submission form.Why do I need to fill out the submission form?
1) It's easier for me to keep track of whose work is still missing 2) In case you have a moodboard to go with your fic, this is where you can upload itWill there be check ins?
There will be no check ins for this fest.What time zone is this fest run on?
I live in mainland Europe with GMT+1 (6-9 hours ahead of the Americas depending on location and 7-8 hours behind KST).
For prompting, claiming and submissions, the deadline is 23:59 pm KST.Why am I not allowed to write Y/N or crossovers?
Because the person behind this fest is allergic to one of the most prominent fandoms that crossovers might happen with and also allergic to Y/N. Sorry.Why do you not allow genderswapped or trans characters unless explicitely requested in the prompt?
People who struggle with their gender identity might not be happy about having a trans or genderswapped character be written into a fic they requested. It can actually be triggering (yes, actually triggering, not just a squick, a trigger) and therefore I will not allow it in fic unless it was asked for by the prompter.
