This server is a happy place and the event is meant to be a positive and fun one. We DO NOT tolerate hate in any form including toward characters and ships. Basically, respect everyone and respect their creations and HCs. We WILL ban/kick you if we witness any uncivilized behavior.
We have specific channels and roles (Squicky, Dark and NSFW) to match different conversation topics; use them accordingly. Additionally, do not worry about muting a channel for a while if you're uncomfortable with a topic or to ask the mods about removing or adding a role for you.
You must use an unpublished work for this event.
All Shkatt possible ship combinations are welcome (Sheith, Shatt, Katt, Shkatt) but if you use an OT2 ship we ask that you include the 3rd boy of our beloved trio in your work at least as a minor character. For example, if Shatt as your OT2 Keith should be present as your side character.
Artists aren't required to make OT3 art (unless of course, your main ship is the OT3).
We do allow gen fics as well but the same rule applies, you must concentrate on Shiro, Keith, and Matt, with any or all of them as the focus or POV character(s).
Side pairings or characters outside Shkatt are of course allowed as long as, you guessed it, they aren’t your main plot. For example, you cannot write a Bii-Boh-Bi/Bob love story with rainbows and unicorns (as tempting as it sounds) with Shkatt in the background.
All genres and ratings are allowed (unless you’re a minor in which case only G and T are authorized).
Writers HAVE to disclose any major tag (like MCD, blood, etc…) in the summaries they’ll send for the claims. Think about it this way: your artist may be uncomfortable or uninspired if you suddenly decide to go berserk on your characters and your summary didn't foreshadow that possible turn of events. However, you're free to do as you please regarding your tags when you post.
Additionally, we recommend writing down the ending of your fic (if known already) in your summary so that the artist knows - these are not AO3 summaries. We cannot stress it enough, but artists should have all the information when they are making their choice.
Claims will be blind so we expect writers to only talk about their work in the writers' channels until the claim period ends. When everyone is paired up, we’ll unlock the artists’ and writers’ channels.
Claims will also work on a first-come, first-served basis so artists, keep an eye out!
For this event, we will only allow one fic per writer unless we have a significant number of artists.
