#mwm asks

[themerrywhumpofmay]

hi there! I was just wondering if you have a set date for when we can expect the prompts? I know you answered an ask that you'd release them mid-april, I'm just very excited and was hoping to get a concrete number. I'm so sorry if this is super annoying, I know you guys have real lives and everything, but I thought I'd ask just because I was hoping you guys wouldn't mind. but if you do mind obviously I get that too! anyway shfkjsdf thanks for running this event <3

Hello! SO sorry for the delay, life happened and time unfortunately followed suit. The prompts will be posted tomorrow!

Hi! The prompts look so fun and I'm super excited, but I was wondering how the prompts work. What is the "day (word)" prompt and the three that follow it? Are they all just different options of inspiration for one day?

Thanks for reaching out! The days each align with one of the days in the May calendar, and you can use all, since, or just one prompt from each day.

Personally when I do it, I use all the elements just to stretch my creativity. For example, on May 8th; I’ll write some little drabble involving (1)pitch blackness; (2) the dialogue “I’m fine”; (3) a white-hot blade; and (4) have it mention or set in a passengers seat.

Just have fun and do whatever you’d like with the prompts!

Are there official rules for this event? If so, where are they?

Hi! When I first made this event, I wanted it to be as accessible as possible, and as such, there aren't really any rules. Any medium is allowed, and you can pretty much do whatever you want to make the event work for you. Even if you want to pick and choose prompts from different days, I have no problem with that - all I really ask, which I would hope people do anyway, is that you tag your posts with content warnings, and ideally tag the various Merry Whump of May hashtags, which can be found in this blog's pinned post for the event.

If people would like for there to be a clearer set of rules for completionism, then feel free to let us know and that might be something we can figure out.
