heyyy, for the platonic fic fest, are they allowed to kiss platonically? (like playful, or practising kissing?) if its made clear that they are not into each other like that?

yes! platonic relationships are so complex, and exploring different nooks and crannies of them is encouraged. as long as the characters are not driven by romantic attraction, then it's groovy town.

(that being said (and this is directed at everyone, not you, anon), please don't straight-up write a romance and then just say it's platonic. we are not going to trawl through fic submissions and enforce a hammer on what the definition of platonic is, because, again, it's variable, but, when writing, keep the intent of the fest in mind! thank you <3)

Hi there! I am so excited for the fic fest - thank you so much for putting this together! ❤️

I have a potentially silly question, but are there any characters (or types of characters) who aren’t eligible for prompts and fics, please? 

For example, are F1 drivers past and present okay, as well as other team personnel (like past and present mechanics, TPs, physios, CEOs, etc), as well as other paddock people, like journalists and various VIPs?

I totally understand if you want to ring-fence it (like to past and present drivers), but I thought I should check ahead of time! 😊

Thank you so much again!

:>>>> had the most fun everrrr hope you guys will too

All characters are eligible, everyone you've mentioned is fine, you can also come up with pairings noone has ever heard before or seen interact lol. So ppl like Toto, Bono, GP are ofc allowed and also encouraged.

HELLOOO EVERYONE!!

So, I remember ages ago someone commented on the lack of platonic fics in the f1 fandom, and I took it to heart. So worry not, here we are announcing our very own Platonic F1 Fic Fest.

This is for people who want to see more of the grid family dynamic, rookies, teammates, and mentors. Whether it's angst or comfort, we desperately need more fics of them being just friends. Bring us your mentorships, your teammate bonds, your found families, your chaotic group dynamics, and your favourite driver relationships... So long as they're platonic!

If you have any questions feel free to message us, @jup1t33r or @maxineverstappen, or you can even send us an ask or message here.
