TimBern Week 2023 Rules and FAQ
General rules • NO SHAMING OR HARASSING OTHER CREATORS. No matter what metric, be it ships, tropes or something else, if an author makes something you don't like, you're more than free to click away and move on with your life. We won't tell. • If you're under 18, we ask that you please don't post anything NSFW • Be kind, and be respectful.
Relevant tags • We will be using #TimBerWeek2023 for this!
When is the Event? • The event will run from 23 July 2023 (Sunday) until 29 July 2023 (Saturday)
How do I participate? • You make whatever it is you want to submit for the prompt, and add the work to the Ao3 collection, and/or tag us on tumblr with TimBernWeek2023 and whatever day the submission is relevant for!
What happens if I post late? • We won't close the Ao3 collection after the event has closed, but we will stop sharing the content posted to other platforms.
What ships are allowed? • As long as Tim/Bernard is the main focus of the fic, you can add in whatever background ships you like. You can also choose to write Tim/Bernard as a part of a larger polycule (such as TimBerKon), where the pairing is still present and relevant!
Can I write NSFW content? • You can if you want, but you don't have to! If you want to write something that starts out as not NSFW, but a shiny idea suddenly strikes your fancy? Go for it! Just make sure it's tagged appropriately! • Additionally, if you see a SFW prompt and think it'd be just perfect for that smut idea that's been bouncing through your brain, go forth and write the shiny!
Does it have to be a written fic? • No, if you want to make a podfic, or draw, or approach these prompts from some other creative angle, go for it! The event has been designed with fanfiction and fanart in mind, but if you want to approach it from another angle, who are we to put a stop to the creativity?
Do the works have to be stand-alone? • They don't, if you want to put all the prompts into one fic, or use the prompts to make new works in a long running series, those sound great!
