Welcome to the 2017 One Punch Man Holiday Event!
Prompts will be mirrored on tumblr at OPMSecretSanta

How do I submit a prompt?
Click the "sign up" button and it will take you to the form you must fill out to send in a prompt.

How many prompts can I submit?
You can submit up to 3 prompts.

Do I have to claim a prompt?
You don't have to claim a prompt, but if you send in multiple prompts, I ask that you please claim at least ONE prompt.

How many prompts can I claim?
As many as you like! I don't believe AO3 has a limit to how many you're allowed to claim. You can also post on tumblr without having to officially claim a prompt here.

How do I post my fic/art?
To fill a prompt through AO3, click “claim” underneath the prompt you like, and then when you’re ready to post, visit your claimed prompt again and click “Fulfill”. You will be taken to a New Works form, where you can create your post.

To fill a prompt through Tumblr, make your post as normal, and tag it with #OPMSS2017 and the tag # of your prompt (example: #OPMSS Prompt 001). This will make it possible for us to find and reblog your post later, as well as sort it into a masterlist for people to browse by the end of the event. To see the prompt’s tag number, check this list. (Note: Prompts will show up on AO3 first, and may not appear on this list for a few days).

Can I post on both AO3 and Tumblr? Or just one but not the other?
Yes! AO3 provides easy sorting for the prompts, and is a great way to post fics, but although AO3 does allow art, I understand it's not the ideal platform. You can choose to post your art or fic on just AO3, just Tumblr, or both.

Can I fill my own prompt?
Sure!

I like this prompt, but it's already claimed...
You can still claim it! If that prompt inspires you, don't be discouraged. Has anyone ever been satisfied with just ONE piece of art, or just ONE story? Your work will be unique from what anyone else is doing.

I can't finish my claim
If you lose your inspiration, or time, please drop your claim so others will know.

My prompt wasn't filled! :c
Sorry! :c Given that everyone has the opportunity to create up to 3 prompts, but might not fill 3 prompts in return, there is no guarantee that all of your prompt(s) will be answered. However, if everyone chips in, it's also possible to end the event with every prompt being filled at least one time.

1. Prompts are for the ONE PUNCH MAN fandom.
2. No bashing ships or other characters.
3. Use tags appropriately.
4. If you are under 18, please do not interact with Mature or Explicit prompts or fics/art. I cannot enforce this, it is entirely your own responsibility. Similarly, if a prompt/fic has content that troubles you, it is the creator's responsibility to tag appropriately, but the reader's responsibility to not engage with it.
5. If you send in prompts, please consider claiming at least one prompt. You can claim as many as you like.
6. Your prompt(s) might not end up being filled. Nobody is assigned to fill prompts, they simply choose, and there may be a lot of prompts to choose from by the end of the event. Please don't take it personally; Every work made for this event is a gift to the entire fandom. :)
7. Be kind to each other! ♥
