You may submit as many prompts as you like. Prompting can be done using your name or anonymously. You do not have to be creating for the fest in order to post a prompt. Anyone can prompt.
Please include any extra prompt details that you would love to see incorporated. If you wish, you can also include a maximum rating and any squicks/triggers you would prefer not to see (for example, Maximum Rating: Explicit. No MCD, No Non-Con). Please note that these are for inspiration only and creators may not fulfil all aspects of your wishes.
We allow self prompting. You can submit your desired prompt and then take your chance claiming it (with the risk that someone might snatch it up before you), or you can fill in the special box for self prompts once claiming opens.
If you want to create based on an existing fanwork, please wait for claiming and submit as a self-prompt.
