So like, im reblogging everything, but because there is this amazing thing called timezones (european here) most of the reblogs are done at times very very late or early for the muricans (its always the americas huh). I am setting up a queue, but even so you guys might miss things, so don’t forget to check out the blog to see all submissions!

just to clarify

So we’ve been getting backlash over a few things. This post is to clarify any of the negative asks, and/or responses we have gotten.

We mods have gotten questions as to why we haven’t tried to get in touch with the previous mods of Sasusaku Month. Thing is guys… WE HAVE. For 2 weeks, TWO straight weeks @chienakamura had been messaging the mods, asking for their permission to run this whole event. Heck I’d messaged one too to see if they’d reply at all. No reply. Not a single one you guys. Yes, we messaged both the event blog and the individual mods so don’t even get me started on that. No the messages could not have been eaten up as they have been asked multiple times, as well private messaged. So no don't even try to start that.

Why did we still go through with it? Why not wait a little bit more? i think what majority of you guys are forgetting is that:

a) The mods from last year do not own the event. Sasusaku Month originated on LiveJournal with different mods. This is an event for fans by fans that has passed on repeatedly. We asked the previous mods out of respect for them and their work last year, and to avoid overlap and confusion within the fandom.

b) Creating content takes time. The four of us know this as our team consists of editors and fanartists. Knowing this, we prioritised getting a finalised list published for all to see with a month planning time. Had we waited, we probably would have gotten backlash for being too late and unorganised with such a big event within the fandom.

Now about the rules drama:

You’re making a big deal out of nothing? Those rules were written for ss month by previous mods of ss month. Why is it a big deal we reuse rules specifically written for the event? Like if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it? The rules were clear and concise. They could not have been re-written any better. You are forgetting that the ss fandom is from all around the world. the rules need to be as clear as possible. 

I find all this nitpicking to be so immature? Like as moderators this year, we gave you as many chances to voice your opinion before we finalised everything and to now pick apart all the work that has been put into this? that’s not cool.

Anyways, sorry for such a negative post you guys but we have been getting backlash over things like this and just wanted to clarify everything. Now this is out of the way, let’s hope that we can have a positive ss month.

Does Day One Last until July 1st ends in every timezone? Or? Thank you for your hard work!!

Hey Anon! Day 1 ends whenever it ends for you. So if you do live in a later Timezone, feel free to still share your work as we understand this. It’s also fine if you post your work later or early, however I wouldn’t recommend this as we may not see it. -xinpaii

Hi! I just want to ask if I reblog my old works and tag it to SasuSaku Month, is it still acceptable?

Hey! As long as it’s definitely your own work it’s fine! It may hard for us to track though, so tag us in the reblog because reblogs don’t show up in the search tag! Thanks for the ask anon!-xinpaii

Hey! So I've received a lot of prompts from people for fics to write and some of them work really well with this month's prompts. Can I "kill two birds with one stone" so to speak and fill a ssm prompt while answering an ask/request (Ex.: your prompt = photograph and someone asked me to write about Sasuke's thoughts staring at his team photo years later? (<-- not Ana vital ask I received so someone can steal it, but you get the idea, right?) or do ssm prompts have to be their own original work?

It,s okay to combine prompts if you think it fits the day!

Good luck!!
