1st Check-In is up NOW!

Hello! The 1st check-in for the ☀️ Conclave Summer Fest 2025☀️is here ! See you around and our team hopes that your work for the summer fest has been going well! :))

☀️ Hello! I’ll be answering some questions raised in the sign-up form:

🐚 where would we post fanart/non written mediums

You can post fanart / non-written mediums on AO3 by using an image hosting site (I recommend https://images.squidge.org/ ). Here is a tutorial for image embedding https://archiveofourown.org/faq/posting-and-editing?language_id=en#embedimage ! You are also free to post it on other websites after you've posted it on AO3, but please use the tag #conclavesummerfest2025 so we can see it!

🐚 How headcanon-y can we get? Can we delve into like... mental illness and stuff (I lowk hc Lawrence w/ bpd bc he's so me...)

Go as headcanon-y as you like! And of course! Just remember to tag it accordingly.

🐚 can we fulfill more than one prompt??

Of course! Fulfilling one prompt is just the minimum when you submit a prompt, but feel free to claim as many as you want!

🐚 This is my first time doing an AO3 prompt challenge so forgive me if this doesn't apply, but is there a way to not be given a NSFW prompt? It's not something I'd like to write. Thank you! :)

The prompts are not given to you, and you can choose them manually! You can also submit your own prompt and claim it if you are not comfortable with writing the ones currently on the challenge.

Hi! Apologies in advance for the long ask.

Does your round depend on when you sign up? if so, and you signed up during the first period, must the work be submitted within the first period, or may they be submiited until the end of the fest?

What's the deadline for submitting/claiming for those who don't plan to self-fill?

Thanks!

Hello! No worries about long asks :))

1. No, if you signed up during the 1st period (which is before the 1st submission I assume), you can submit during the second submission!

2. The deadline is the same, either 17 July (1st submission date) or 14 August (2nd submission date).
