hey! i have a question about the prompts/guidelines 💖 the countdown is a carry on one, not a snowbaz one even though they're the main focus of the book, so i assumed it was fine to write about agatha and niamh. but i noticed you had two prompts called "side ships" and "WLW", so does it mean the other prompts are snowbaz-only? or am i reading too much into it? ty ✨ /gen
Hey hey! This is a great question, thank you so much for reaching out.
Firstly, you're right; the COC absolutely encourages fan content surrounding any characters from the Simon Snow universe, not just snowbaz. However, since the event is a countdown to Simon and Baz's anniversary specifically, the 'Side Ships' prompt is there to give creators the chance to explore other relationships within the universe, canon or otherwise. This includes but is in no way limited to: Penny/Shepard, Agatha/Niamh, Dev/Niall, Keris/Trixie, etc. The 'WLW' prompt, as you can guess, is for celebrating sapphic relationships set within the Simon Snow universe.
With that being said, one of the priorities of the COC is that any and all fan content is strongly encouraged and accepted, meaning that creators can use and interpret the prompts we provide in any way they wish. So at the end of the day, it's up to you who you do or don't include in your submissions.
Thanks again for the ask! We're always here for questions and to connect with the fandom anytime :)
