About:
This is a fest for the Regulus fandom. We welcome all genres, and all ships (or lack thereof) with Regulus set in any universe. All we ask is that Regulus is a ghost! Spooky, fluffy, out for revenge, saying goodbye one last time, able to manifest corporeally—as long as you focus on some form of ghost!Regulus, then we’re happy! All types of fanworks are eligible—fic, art, podfics, graphics, or moodboards. Collaborations welcome!
Rules:
👻 All fics must feature ghost!Regulus 👻 All participants must be 18+, no exceptions. 👻 Minimum word count is 1k, no maximum. 👻 Fics are not required to be beta read OR sensitivity read, however, we highly encourage it. 👻 All creators must have an AO3 account. 👻 This is not an anonymous fest, so chatting about your creation is encouraged! 👻 We ask that all fanwork is new, complete, and created especially for the fest (so no WIPs, sequels/prequels, or previously-published works). 👻 ALL tropes are accepted. This includes dead dove, however, your fics MUST BE TAGGED PROPERLY
Prompting:
👻 Prompting opens on the 20th of October 2022 at 12 pm CDT (what time is that for me?) 👻 You may submit as many prompts as you want. You do not have to be creating a work for the fest in order to post a prompt. Anyone can prompt! 👻 You can either prompt anonymously or include your name with the prompt. 👻 Prompt format will be as follows:
Prompter name: Ship: Prompt: Special Requests/Squicks: (this is where you list any extra prompt details, or squicks you may have. Please be aware that the person claiming your prompt is not required to adhere to these)
👻 Unless specified otherwise, we will assume all prompts are open to all ratings. 👻 Self prompting is welcome, but you don’t need to send in a form - when claiming opens just put the details into a claiming email to us along with the same prompt info as above and we can add it to our records!
Claiming:
👻 Claiming opens on the 20th of November 2022 at 12 pm CDT 👻 Prompts will be awarded on a first come first served basis. 👻 Each prompt can be claimed once for fic, once for art, and once for other fanwork. 👻 Please choose your top three prompts when claiming, in order of preference (i.e. your top prompt as prompt choice 1, second choice as prompt choice 2, etc) as they will be awarded in this order. You are not required to fill out all three prompt choices. 👻 You can only claim one prompt at a time. If you finish your prompt, you may claim an additional prompt. If you have finished your first prompt, and wish to claim another, please email your header to [email protected] and let us know you wish to claim an additional prompt, before submitting another claim form. 👻 If you claim a prompt and subsequently feel unable to complete the work, please inform us as soon as possible so that we can free the prompt up for another writer/artist. We understand that life can get in the way! Unfortunately, however, in such circumstances, you won’t be eligible to claim a further prompt for 2022. 👻 Collaborations are welcome! Please include details for all claimants in one claim form. 👻 You will receive an email within 24 hours confirming your successful claim. Please respond to this email within 72 hours to confirm your participation in Ghost Regulus Fest.
Creating:
👻 For fics, there is a minimum word count of 1000 words and no maximum. 👻 Submissions must be completed works. All creations must be individual works. All creations must be new and complete. 👻 Fics and art should use the prompt as inspiration, but feel free to interpret it in your own creative way. 👻 We encourage you to be inspired by the prompters’ additional details, but these are not required to be incorporated into the creation. You may also wish to take into consideration your prompter’s squicks when creating, but this is not a requirement, however, we ask that you do not gift the creation to the prompter if you are not taking the squicks into consideration, and as always, be sure to tag your work appropriately.
Submitting:
👻 Once you have completed your fic, it’s time to submit! 👻 Submissions are due on 20th January February 2023, but if you are finished before this date, you are welcome to submit then. 👻 When your work is ready to be submitted, please fill out the following header and email it to [email protected]
