⚓️ This fest was created to celebrate general fiction, also known as "gen" fiction in fandom.
⚓️ Gen fiction, for the purposes of this fest, refers to any work that does not centre around a romantic or sexual relationship between two or more characters. (e.g. casefics, character studies etc)
⚓️ You are free to include any kind of pairing you want in your work so long as it is not the sole or primary focus of your creation. We know that this definition of gen fic is somewhat open to interpretation, but as a rough guideline, we'd request that you only submit fics that can reasonably be tagged Gen and/or Gen+Pairing.
Important Dates
⚓️ January 10th: Opening For Prompts
⚓️ January 31st: Closing For Prompts
⚓️ February 1st: Claiming Opens
⚓️ May 1st: Claiming Closes
