(!) F.A.Q
Who can participate in Snowbarry Week?
ANYONE! Writers, giffers, manip-ers (?), fan artists smol and toll. We welcome fan fiction, gifsets, manips, fanart, fanmixes, …
Can days be combined?
YES! Reconnecting with future AU? Or innovation and fairytale? All joking aside, you can combine whichever prompts you’d like.
Can I create work for both the artists prompts and the writer prompts?
ABSOLUTELY YES!
Can I use the artists prompts for a fic, or the writer prompts for art work?
GO CRAZY!
If I want to contribute something do I have to do something for every day?
Not at all. You’re free to commit to a single day, and we will be so flipping excited to see it. The point is just to have fun with the prompts, even if it’s just the one.
Can I post a WIP that I started working on before that fits a Snowbarry Week theme?
Yes, of course! We’re not a Big Bang, or even a Mini Bang, we don’t require art or fic to have been created from scratch for exactly this week.
I’m going to be busy/out of town during Snowbarry Week. Can I post early/late?
We’d really like to avoid early posting. If you’re out of town or too busy the week itself you can always schedule posts for the correct dates.
Posting late shouldn’t be a problem. Posting Day 1 on Day 3 is also perfectly fine, just make sure we can tell which day you’re posting for, so our heads don’t start spinning.
What does free day mean?
Basically, free day is where you decide what prompt you want to do something with. As long as it’s Snowbarry (or one of its variations like Savifrost, Flashfrost, etc), you’re okay to do whatever you want. A free day in the middle of the week might also provide some much needed breathing space for all the contributors.
Also, the same as last year, our free day now doubles as an opportunity to create for any of our past prompts! If there was a prompt you didn’t manage to finish something for, or just always liked the sound of doing but missed the opportunity, we’d love to see that for this day to have a fun revival of some of the great prompts from past events.
What does [insert theme] mean?
Oh man, this is a hard one to answer. Reconnecting could be about Barry and Caitlin getting to know each other after falling out, or after drifting apart, but it could also be about reconnecting with other things in their life or even as literal as reconnecting cables on some tech as part of an action plot! We can’t tell you which roles to cast your characters in, because everyone has different interpretations. If you can justify the connection, we’re pretty sure you’re good.
Does my idea fit the theme?
Like we said above, if you can justify it, we’re pretty sure you’re good. If you’re really not sure, hit us up!
If there are more questions, please don’t hesitate to drop us an ask. Any questions you don’t want published, feel free to come off anon and ask us as well - we promise we won’t publish what you’re not comfortable with, just let us know if you want it answered privately.

Summary:
Caitlin has a modest science blog and a fairly new YouTube channel, but she accidentally goes viral and also attracts the attention of a certain other science video blogger, Barry Allen. Written for @simplysnowbarry's Snowbarry Week 2022.
Barry pulled frost close. Her heart sped up at being this close to him.
“I'm sick of this, Frost. You’ve been trying to get rid of girls I like. Either you want me, or you don’t. What’s it gonna be?!” Barry said.
His eyes did not reflect his anger, they were instead pleading for frost to admit her feelings towards him.
“I wish I could give you an answer that makes sense but relationships are complicated.” Frost said loudly, her eyes flickered toward Barry’s lips, Barry noticed.
“We’ll I’m gonna keep you here, in my arms until you admit you’re into me. Nothing complicated about that.”
Barry kept Frost in his arms. The chill he felt did not deter him, Frost stared at him and he stared at her. Frost was stubborn, but it would take a matter of time before she confessed… Barry knew it. He just knew it…

What does [insert theme] mean?
Oh man, this is a hard one to answer. Bloggers could be about Barry's blog in canon, or a slight AU where Caitlin has a blog as a hobby, or an AU where the characters blog professionally, or it could even be a story told in the style of blog posts! We can’t tell you which roles to cast your characters in, because everyone has different interpretations. If you can justify the connection, we’re pretty sure you’re good.
Does my idea fit the theme?
Like we said above, if you can justify it, we’re pretty sure you’re good. If you’re really not sure, hit us up!
