When is the week taking place?

March 20th - 26th, 2017

How do I submit my work?

· You can post your submissions into the shared tag #saigenosweek so that our moderators can find & reblog it. Please put this tag in your first five tags - otherwise we might not be able to find it.
· Tag which day your entry is for, and don’t forget to include any extra information/description/prompts we might need. (You can find these in our guidelines)
· You can send your submission(s) to our submit box and we’ll post it for you. Rating tags (e.g. general/mature/nsfw), the type of submission (e.g. fanart/fic/edit/amv), and the day/prompt must be included.

What are the prompts? What do they mean?

You may find a list of prompts in our Prompts Page in our Tumblr. Each day will have three prompts, classified under Saitama, Genos, and General/OST. General/OST prompts are short titles taken from the One Punch Man Original Soundtrack, Saitama prompts are lines taken from the anime’s opening song (The Hero!!), Genos prompts are AU prompts.

What are the prompts? Could you give an example on how to use a prompt?

Of course! Let’s use Day 5 as an example:

· General (OST) prompt (Hero Society): What role does the Hero Association or the general society in the One Punch Man universe play in Saitama and Genos’ relationship? What does the idea of being a “hero” mean? You could show Saitama trying to understand what being a hero means, or how Genos’ idea of being a hero changed after meeting Saitama. You could also write about how you think Saitama and Genos’ relationship will change as the OPM world changes, too.

· Saitama prompt (“Push on, prepare, fight fair and square”): Maybe this has to do with training regimens. Or maybe Genos is preparing to fight the Mad Cyborg, and looks up to Saitama for wisdom about how to fight fair and square (—and how would Saitama feel about that?). Or maybe it has to do with them fighting for their relationship amid all sorts of challenges.

· Genos (AU prompt) (Reverse AU): Maybe Saitama and Genos’ ages are swapped. Maybe their personalities are switched; maybe Saitama is the cyborg and Genos underwent the crazy training regimen. Any sort of flip-flopping or reversal within the OPM universe could work for this one. Interpret it as abstractly or as literally as you want—you can’t go wrong!

These are just examples, and you may perhaps have a different interpretation or idea for a certain prompt. Don’t worry! We’re open to all interpretations.

I’m a fanfic writer. How do I submit my fic on AO3?

1. You write your fic and tag it with the appropriate tags, like you usually would:

· pairing (Saitama/Genos)
· day/prompt
· warnings (eg. gore, nsfw etc)
· other descriptive tags

2. Save it as a draft

3. Go to our collection page, and then post it to our collection/hoard!

Is this event Saigenos only, or is Genosai okay too?

Both are okay! We’ve chosen to use SAIGENOSWEEK just as an umbrella term regardless of the bedroom dynamic they have.

Can I team up with someone in a collab?

Of course! Just make sure to mention your partner’s URL somewhere in the caption of your post.
