1. Make sure you have plenty of drinks so you can keep hydrated.
2.Bring snacks; sweets and kinder chocolate are especially good choices.
3. Pad the nest out with nesting materials, you can use blankets and soft toys or any of the numerous courting gifts you get given.
4. Wear something nice and cosy, if you have access to free team merchandise then even better.
And once you are comfortable in your nest check out the omega Max fest prompts on ao3 and perhaps join in.

Further info is on the collection's dashboard but let me add it down here as well
What's mpreg? Whay counts as mpreg for the fest?
Mpreg is a term used to describe situations where a man becomes pregnant, resulting in a Male Pregnancy. The fest welcomes all kinds of mpreg: cismpreg, transmpreg, intersex mpreg, a/b/o dynamics, magical pregnancies, fics that go into the carried gene variant, you could also not offer an explanation and just have the world be like that.
Prompting & Claiming FAQ
Is it necessary to submit a prompt to claim one? Do I have to claim a prompt to submit one?
No! You don’t need to submit prompts in order to claim them, and you are not required to claim prompts to “be allowed” submit them.
How are claims done?
Once we set up the schedule, you will be able to start claiming by pressing on the “Claim” button next to the prompt you want and then filling out the Claim Form. Please remember that If you don’t fill it, your claim will be deleted.
Can more than one person claim a prompt?
No! Only one claim per prompt will be allowed. It will be on the “First come First serve” basis, and any secondary claims will be deleted. Anyone that wants to use any other media that isn't writing doesn'tneed to claim it on AO3, just please fill out the form so I can know <3
How do self-prompts work?
Right before the ending of the Prompting Period we will post a bunch of “Self-Prompt” prompts. These are for people that have their own, original ideas they want to write or make art for but that they still want to share inside the Fest.
How are self-prompts claimed?
The exact same way! Except more people can claim each one. You’ll be able to claim one and that will count for the three claims per person limit.
Remember friends: you can always drop out if life gets messy or if the inspiration runs away!
And now some RULES
1. All Works must include some form of mpreg - this mean that if your story has past or future "off-screen" mpreg, then it still counts!
2. Gen fic is welcomed! Not everything has to revolve around romantic and/or sexual relationships.
3. Minimum word count is 1k! Chaptered fics are, of course, allowed, you'd just have to make sure that the first chapter (or chapters) you post hits 1k words.
4. All works - especially those included sensitive topics and/or smut HAVE to be properly tagged. We will read over the fics before allowing them into the collections and we will ask you to tag properly if we detect a missing tag.
5. Ships must include at least two (2) paddock individuals. OCs or Non-paddock characters are not allowed for final ships. Y/N fics are not allowed.
6. No plagiarism allowed, no unauthorized reproduction allowed. If someone sees a prompt or a work that you suspect was copied from someone or somewhere else, please let the mods know.
RESTRICTED THEMES
The only restricted themes the fest will have will be: Pedophilia, incest and underage.If you want to include an aged up character that had a kid when they were teenagers, you can. But you cannot have underage characters engaging in sexual activities in your fic.

2. All works must centre on a driver x driver pairing (F1 or other motorsports, as long as they are of consenting age), irl driver partners are not permitted.

5. Two works at most per person. A second work may be created after the first work was submitted.

8. Plagiarism and AI-generated submissions will result in an instant, permanent ban.
9. A tumblr account is required as it will be the main way to communicate

FAQs
What is a WAG?
‘Wife and Girlfriend’ commonly known by its initials WAG is the way used to typically refer to a driver’s female partner.
Do we have to write about IRL wags?
No, the fest focuses on F1 driver ships but turning one of them into a non-driver.
So, it can’t be genderbend?
It can absolutely be genderbend! You are welcome to do it if you so desire, however it is not a requisite.
Are former drivers allowed?
Yes! From recently retired all the way to 1950, as long as at one point they were F1 drivers they are welcomed to the fest. Go write the Fangio x WAG!Moss fanfic of your dreams.
Are drivers from other motorsports, female or male, allowed?
Yes, as long as one of the members of the ship is a Formula 1 driver. (Example: Lando Norris and Carlos Sainz Sr., yes that is the example I’m choosing).
Can we make a non-racing au wag au?
Yes! By all means, you are welcome to change the main sport the character partakes in. For example, you could write a Tennis Player Lewis Hamilton x Monaco Based Youtuber Nico Rosberg.
Does one of the drivers have to be a WAG since the start?
Not necessarily! You are free to decide how the story goes, as long as at some point in the fic one of the drivers is a WAG.
Can I submit a work anonymously?
You can! Please let us know in the sign-up form. Please be aware that a tumblr account is needed to sign up, and mods will see your AO3 account so it is not 100% anonymous, but your participation will be confidential!
Is smut allowed? Is dead dove/triggering content allowed?
Yes! Just make sure to tag and rate your work appropriately once submitted to ao3. This page contains a list of over 150+ common trigger warnings.
To the people who were potentially interested in the 'Sex gone wrong' Fic Fest, I am going to put out a proper call for interest and try and organise something but I am going to leave it a couple weeks just because everyone is so excited about the new season at the moment.
I haven't forgotten about I though and I think it could be really fun!
