To participate as a writer, you should claim a prompt, and then fill out the prompt claiming form. Then, once confirmation is received, you can start writing your fic. Once you're done writing, submit it (guidelines can be found on the claiming and posting page of this site).
Q. Do I have to be a writer to submit a prompt?
→ A. No! Anyone can submit a prompt as long as they have an AO3 account with which to do so.

→ A. The minimum word count is 1000 words. There is no maximum word count.
Q. Can I post an update to an already published work?
→ A. No. For the purpose of this event, all works submitted must be a story that has never been publicly posted before. However, if you have a fic written that's only been posted on a site like Patreon for paid supporters to view, you may submit that as it has not previously been public.
Q. Can I talk about my fic to hype it up?
→ A. Absolutely! But please be as vague as possible, so as not to spoil the surprise. Sharing your work privately with a beta-reader or close friends before sharing with the fest is allowed, but please keep in mind that the more people you share it with, the less of a surprise it will be!
Q. Can I post WIPS of my fic to hype it up?
→ A. You may post snippets of your work as long as it's not something that gives the plot or any surprises away. Again, keep it as vague as possible!
Q. Are all ships allowed?
→ A. All ships within BTS are welcome. We encourage all ship dynamics, poly ships, platonic ships, anything goes. We only ask that your fic does not focus on BTS x Non-BTS relationships.

→ A. Yes. There will be self-prompt slots posted before claiming opens. Just claim one of those!
Q. How many prompts can I submit?
→ A. You can submit up to 20 prompts.
Q. How many prompts can I claim?
→ A. You can claim up to 3 prompts. If you finish all prompts before the deadline and wish to claim more, then you may claim up to 3 more prompts.
Q. Can I claim a prompt that has already been claimed?
→ A. No. We only allow one claim per prompt. If a prompt receives more than one claim, all claims after the first one will be removed.
Q. Can I claim my own prompt?
→ A. Yes you may claim your own prompt. However if you post your prompt and someone else claims it before you, they will be given the prompt. To avoid this we suggest claiming one of the self-prompt slots instead of directly posting and claiming your own prompt.
Q. Will there be any check-ins?
→ A. No, there will be no check-ins. This fest aims to be very laid back in terms of requirements, for both the sake of the participants and the mods. However, we may email writers reminders from time to time about how long is left until the submission deadline.
Q. What do I do if I need to drop out / How do I drop a claim?
→ A. All you have to do is fill out the drop out form. We'll handle everything else.

→ A. If you want or need an extension, please DM us on twitter and we'll sort something out.
Q. Do you provide beta reading to participants?
→ A. Unfortunately we are unable to provide beta reading.
Q. Will you be sending out confirmation emails for successful prompt claims?
→ A. We won't be sending out confirmations that your claim was successful. We will only contact you if there's a problem with your claim or it's been removed (e.g.; if you've claimed more than 3 prompts, or someone else claimed a prompt before you).
Prompting Guidelines
How to submit a prompt:
On the left hand side, click 'Prompt Form'
Title and Relationships fields are optional to fill out. Fandom and Rating fields are required! The only fandom allowed is 방탄소년단 | Bangtan Boys | BTS as it helps AO3 give you the right tag suggestions.
Include the following in the 'Description' section: Do Want: (list anything you absolutely want in your fic, for example, the ship, any dynamics, kinks, etc) Do Not Want: (list anything you absolutely do not want included. For example, certain dynamics, kinks, etc) Prompt Description: (your prompt idea description goes here)
The 'Semi-anonymous Prompt?' checkbox removes your username from the prompt, this is optional, but is on by default. If you want people to know you're the prompted, uncheck this box. AO3 warns that this is not a 100% garuantee that no one will know you prompted this, and is still guessable in some places.
If you want to submit multiple pompts, hit the 'Add another request? (Up to 10 allowed.)' button and repeat steps 3 to 5.
Once you're done, hit 'Submit', and your prompts will be posted!
Deleting your Prompt(s)
Changed your mind and want to delete your prompt before claiming begins?
How to delete your prompt:
Go to 'My Prompts' on the left hand side.
If you have submitted more than one prompt, find the prompt you wish to delete, and hit 'Delete Prompt'
If you have submitted multiple prompts and want to delete them all, or only submitted one prompt, hit 'Delete Sign-Up'
Please do not delete prompts once claiming has begun. Especially if your prompt has been claimed.
Claiming A Prompt
