I have a question regarding creators: Are you creating a fanwork entirely to your own liking or will it be like a commissional piece to the bidder? I didn't quite understand the relation between bidder and creator just yet.
Hi! It’ll be similar to commissional pieces - creators can specify what kind of fanwork do they want to focus on (e.g. “historical AUs, Natasha/Wanda, canon divergence, angst”) and what are they not willing to work with (e.g. “weddings, gore, Captain America (character)”) and bidders can use these specifications to choose an offer they like. As a creator, you can be as specific or as vague with these as you’d like. During the creation period, it’s up to the creators and their winning bidder to agree on a prompt that fits into the creator’s specifications but is still tailored to the bidder’s wishes. For example, last year on a similarly structured event I offered up a painting and specified “mythology AUs, iconography” as my focus and “mature content, pregnancy” as things I’m not willing to create. The bidder sent me a couple of characters they’d be happy with and one of my own iconography-like works as an example for style - I sent back two sketches and together we choose the one I then painted. It was a pretty easy negotiation. I hope this helps! Thank you for reaching out. Let us know if you still have questions or if I was unclear somewhere! :) - Faal
