    jump to FAQs »

    - The fest will run on EST (GMT-5)- Center your submissions around the relationship between Haechan and Renjun. Poly ships are fair game as long as both are included.- There will be no minimum word count enforced, but we suggest a 1000 word minimum as a guideline.- Claiming and self-prompting will occur through Google Forms.- We’ll have one check-in at the halfway point before posting to confirm participation. Check the FAQs for details on extensions and dropouts.⚠️ We've decided to drop content restrictions. Use your own discretion, and make sure to follow prompt DNIs and tag your fics appropriately, annotate with content warnings where necessary.- NSFW content is allowed, but it must be visibly tagged as such.- If you'd like your submission to stay anonymous after reveals, note so on the claiming form or notify us via DM or e-mail.- Do not plagiarize others' work. Furthermore, content generated by LLMs or AI is absolutely not allowed.- Works will be published in themed collections on AO3. Authors will need to have an AO3 account to participate. If you need help creating one, let us know.

    - You can call it whatever your heart desires. Free yourself! Release your inhibitions, feel the rain on your skin! No one else can feel it for you, after all.    Will you be matching up authors with beta readers?
    - We will not, but you can use a resource like @beta_find on Twitter or the @write_or_write discord to help you find someone to proofread.    What do I do if I need an extension?
    - Cry, if you have to. (Just kidding... We've been there and totally understand. Reach out to the mods through DMs or e-mail so we can work out a timeline.)    What happens if I have to drop out?
    - That's fine! Once again, we understand that it happens, just make sure to communicate with us—and please don't leave us hanging! We promise we won't be mad, we just want to be able to confirm participation with each author 🖤    What if I don’t want to reveal my AO3 username or my Twitter account?
    - That’s perfectly fine! Please inform mods either through email or DMs so we are aware. If you let us know, we can keep your AO3 contribution anonymous.    ※ Identifying contact information such as Twitter handles, e-mail addresses and AO3 usernames will only be seen by our mods. We will not distribute or share any information given without your permission.
