General Rules
No AI usage. No plagiarism. This will result in a permanent ban.
Don't be rude. It’s okay to have discussions on why you do or don’t like ships but not at the expense of other real life humans. All ships are welcome, as well as non-ship/gen fics. We’re here to have fun, not have ship wars. This will result in a permanent ban.
You signed up for this, finish your work. Two extensions of 7 days are allowed as long as it's properly communicated to staff via email. If you need more, please reach out to staff and we can try to work something out.Â
Be communicative.Â
Have a good time! (I demand it as your dungeon lord.)
Pairings are assigned first come/first serve from a blind choice of summaries. This is to avoid people preplanning pairings. We want you to meet new friends!
If you plan on signing up multiple times, please fill out the sign up form for each time. You can write two fics and do two arts. Groups should sign up under one form. Please be aware of your limits! No need to stress yourself out.
Groups still count for one of your art/fic slots.
Author Requirements
At least 10,000 words by the end of the event, polished. (There will be three check in dates to help make sure you’re still on track. These are required. Early check-ins are fine!)
Authors may work in pairings but the word minimum is 15,000 instead of 10,000.
Talk to your artists!
While beta readers are not required, they are encouraged!Â
Must be about Dungeon Meshi and have Dungeon Meshi characters. (OCs and crossovers are welcome but the majority of characters should be Dungeon Meshi characters.)
Works are allowed in any language, just make sure your group can clearly communicate about the story!
Don’t talk about your fic outside of your specific group. Is a secret!
Fics should be new and should not have any work done on them prior to the event starting. By new work, we mean it should not be finished or be polished. You can have it outlined, thought up, started, that kind of thing.Â
When you post on your posting day, make sure you give a link to the mods so we can share it!
Authors can art but not for their own story.
If you cannot finish on time, please let mods know as soon as possible so we can assign your artists to other fics.
Artist Requirements
At least one fully completed work. Can be any form of art. (Dolls, paintings, animations, written music/played music, a delicious meal! All allowed. If you aren’t sure, reach out to mods!)
You can work on two fics but both must have fully completed works.
Two artists can work on the same fic but there must be two completed works for the fic.
Art must be posted on the same day as fic.
Check ins are required
If you cannot finish on time, please let mods know as soon as possible so we can assign a new artist to the writer.
