Welcome back nbin nation! Can you feel the love in the air?
Hello there, we would like to welcome you to this very special AND fast round, this is a valentine’s project so it’s meant to be a chill round. It’s not going to be as time consuming as bingo and we hope that you are onboard this time (let’s make Hongbin act up so badly around Hakyeon, I’m sure we all want that–).
This is a different format than other years, we had put up a poll on our twitter which format would be best and the one that won is: song format.
We were going to release a list of songs for you to claim from, but as usual, we also want our lovely prompters to be able to interact so we ended up tweaking that a bit!
As you know, our main goal is to make all nbin enthusiasts out there happy~ all of this done by interacting with nbin nation and helping adding more fics of this precious ship to the tags - so whether you are one of our lovely prompters/readers or part of the writers who took part in the last two rounds or you are JUST stumbling upon this fest: do help us spread the word and be part of our nbin enthusiasts family!
Let’s also make the tag grow during this Special Valentine’s event!
WHAT’S THIS ROUND’S FORMAT?
By voting, this round’s format has ended up taking the form of a song prompt fest! There will be a prompt library available to you, which we will build up together throughout the prompting period so that it ends up being a group work kind of thing <3 and so that everyone has fun!
The songs will be divided also in the same fashion as we have done for the past rounds (Intoxicatingly sweet and Fully intoxicating) there will be a bit of a regular prompting take in this too that you will be able to see in the prompt form and which will be explained on the prompting post.
Other than that, there is no need to come with an ‘actual’ prompt or situation or anything! Regarding the claiming, it will be a first come first serve basis! and not as complicated as the bingo round! It will resemble (ha) the first round!
The home for all the nbin fics that will come out of this? Ao3. The timezone you ask? EST as usual!
COMMUNICATION
We will communicate with participants mainly through e-mails. If you have any questions, if there is any problem which we can help you with (be it writing-wise or any other thing that may get in the way) please do NOT hesitate to write to us!
This fest relies HEAVILY in teamwork, that means between prompters, writers, readers and obviously mods! You as public also are part of intoxicating and can help us make this small round a success! So, don’t forget that we have our CuriousCat at your service as well as our Twitter DMs for quick questions! Whether you are a participant or a reader, there will always be a mod ready to help you with whatever questions arises~
If you are a bit shy, CuriousCat though is the place to go, yet if you are a participant! Approach us directly <3
Faster updates will be done through our twitter page but here we will have things down and explained thoroughly.
This nbin business sounds really good to you by now? want to really help the fest also succeed on this round? We hope it’s like that!
There is never enough chabin, never ever, so if you are up for this lovey dovey Valentine’s mission (or just want to make Hongbin cringe cos ugh r o m a n c e ) then you can participate by prompting, writing, reading (this is VERY important because the writers that participate deserve ALL the love) and also by just being there with us! Please share, comment, retweet, interact with the fest! Let’s make this a good time chabin nation!
Haven’t ever taken part in our cult activities? haven’t ever written for nbin yet? No problem, the mods love chabin so if you ever need help with them we are always willing to help you through this in the case you want to be part of this!
What’s our suggestion this round? Binge watch Eternity stages–won’t regret it. We could have told you to hear Resemble but we don’t want to make anyone tearful messes (yet mods will still cry)

The First-Time Wincest Fest kicked off yesterday, and we’re excited to find out how Sam and Dean could have gotten together in each episode of Supernatural! Sign up here, and find more info about this event here. We hope you’ll join us!
Welcome to Every Time We Touch, an event that celebrates the hundreds of possible ways Sam and Dean Winchester could get together! In this event, we’ll try to create a first-time Wincest fic or artwork for as many episodes of Supernatural as we can. Episode sign-ups open today (January 24, 2021, Dean’s birthday), and the deadline for your works is May 2 (Sam’s birthday).
This event works like a prompt fest and takes place on AO3. The “prompts” are the 327 episodes of Supernatural. You sign up by claiming one or several prompts (episodes), which you commit to filling by claiming them. Leave a comment on the episode you want on this spreadsheet; make sure you include your AO3 username so we can verify that the fill matches the sign-up. Completed works should be posted in the AO3 collection for this event. You are welcome to link and share elsewhere as well, of course. The episode you created for should be identified in the tags or notes of your work.
Fic should be a minimum of 500 words, but beyond that it can be as long as you like. Art should be at minimum a finished sketch and should have a visible connection to the episode you chose.
FAQ: What kind of first time? Your work can be about a first kiss, first date, or first time having sex—whatever works for you, as long as it’s some version of Sam and Dean getting together romantically and/or sexually.
Are any topics banned? Nope—just make sure to tag and warn appropriately.
How closely should the work connect to the episode? Can it be AU? The work should take place during or after the episode. Some canon divergence is perfectly fine within those boundaries.
What about episodes where Sam and Dean are separated? You can still sign up for those! Just be creative. For example, you could write about Sam or Dean fantasizing about the other for the first time.
Are threesomes allowed? Sure, as long as the focus is on Sam and Dean getting together.
Can I submit something that I already created or posted prior to this event? No, all works should be created specifically for this event.
Can I claim multiple episodes? Can a single episode receive multiple works? You can select up to five episodes to create for. A single episode can receive up to two works.
Further questions can be sent to our askbox here on tumblr. If you want your question to be answered privately, please say so in your ask (and of course make sure you aren’t on anon). Happy creating!
I’m excited to announce that we now have 100 sign-ups to the First-Time Wincest Fest! There are also already 15 awesome works in the AO3 collection—check them out!
