How does prompt claiming work? · · . ✫ ✦
All prompts sent for STARBOY are posted on @allwinkprompts. To claim one, email [email protected] with the URL to the prompt you wish to claim for the fic fest. The claim will be threaded with the prompt and the prompt will be posted on @STARBOY529 so people can start to look forward to your story. Keep in mind as well that it's okay to self-prompt.

Can I claim more than one prompt? · · . ✫ ✦
Yes! We welcome people to claim more than one prompt. The more stories the merrier, and we have an abundance of prompts.

What ships will there be stories for? · · . ✫ ✦
Because we're attempting to cover as many ships as possible, we assigned every participant a ship to write based on the preferences they indicated during sign-up. We will have stories for 2ji, cloudwink, hwangwink, ongwink, kingwink, nielwink, 2park, winkdeep, winkhwi, and panwink. We also have stories for allwink, winkhan, taewink, and kookwink.

Do the ships have to be romantic? · · . ✫ ✦
Since this is an allwink project, we do encourage writers to make the ships romantic. The assigned ship must be the main ship in the fic, though it does not have to be the only winkship in the fic. It can be part of a polyamorous ship.

Can I tell people what prompt I'm writing for? · · . ✫ ✦
Yes, absolutely!

Can I share what prompt I'm writing? · · . ✫ ✦
Please do not share what prompt you're writing. We understand that you might need to share with someone so that you can get help brainstorming, and that's okay, but please try not to make any public announcements. The organizers are also happy to help you if you're struggling with your prompt at all.

Can I still join as a writer? · · . ✫ ✦
Absolutely. Just email [email protected] or DM @slackeuse or @pwjhns for more details.

How much do I have to write? · · . ✫ ✦
The minimum is 2000 words.

Will these be anonymous? · · . ✫ ✦
They will not be anonymous.

I have a question that's not on the FAQ. What should I do? · · . ✫ ✦
