We've been seeing some common questions crop up already, so here are the answers to hopefully have you all rest easy!
What kind of deadlines are you expecting to give?
Since we are only requiring fanfics to be 2k minimum, podfics to be a cold read of 3k minimum, and arts to be lineart/greyscale minimum, for now we have a 1 month deadline.
We are still checking everyone's opinions on it in our IC form, which is why it is so important for anyone who wants to participate to fill it! Our check-ins will be defined after we know how long it'll be.
My gmail is my personal/professional mail, can I join still? Do I really need to give it?
That is up to you, but since this is a fandom event, we mods don't want anyone to expose themselves! We'll be the only ones who'll have access to all informed emails and we won't do anything with it but use it as a way to reach out to all participants whenever needed. Which is why, if you don't have one already, we recommend creating and using your fandomail.
We opened the field for everyone to type out their preferred email instead of automatically collecting it, so you can inform us the one you want!
Even if Discord will be our primary point of contact, we might not always be able to reach out to everyone this way, so we'll be using emails for any second attempts!
What if I'm matched with a prompt I don't want? Can I reject a prompt if I don't like it?
During sign-ups, we'll be putting out a section where all creators will be able to inform their WANTS and DNW, and we need everyone to be as honest as possible. The information will be used by us during the assignment process, and we'll be doing our best to match things accordingly.
If you don't want the prompt assigned to you, you must inform us ASAP so we can put it up for PH. Do keep in mind that, if it happens and that was your only prompt, you might need to wait until we release the prompts up for PH to get a new assignment.
What if it's a hyper-specific prompt and I don’t want to go through all elements?
That is okay, for as long as the main core of the prompt is kept (like ships, trope, etc). For example, if it is a NSFW prompt and it has kinks or features you don't want to make for, it can be removed.
All prompters will be informed during their prompt submission process that not all they requested might be featured.
I can't donate, can I still participate?
If you want to be a creator and can't donate, that is okay! We know not everyone can afford to make donations — and we hope everyone who can contribute does so! — but we also need volunteer creators to make all prompts we'll get!
I'm participating in other events and holiday season might make it hard to meet deadlines, can the deadlines be looser?
We'll need you to come talk to us if such a thing happens and you won't be able to meet the deadline! If such is the case, we will negotiate an extension to allow you more time for finishing your prompt.
Do keep in mind you'll need to adhere to the new deadline, and failure in doing so without proper communication might mean in your removal of the event and the reassignment of your prompt!
