we welcome you to interpret your prompt as you like - once it's claimed, it's yours! but if you want to change something significant and would prefer to check with the prompter, let us know, as we have an optional space in the prompt form for prompter contact details.7. what will happen during check-in?
we send out an email to check where everyone is at with their word count and to ask if there is anyone considering dropping out at that stage! that’s all, no need to submit your fic during check-in ☺️8. can we submit early to the collection if we are finished with our fic?
yes, please do!9. if we have to drop out, how should we contact you?
please dm or email us if you have to drop out of the fest!10. do we have to include the original prompt our writing is based off of in our fic summary/description?
it would be nice, but not required!11. will fic postings per day be mostly in order of submissions, or will the mods also be mixing it up?
