Welcome to Kitty Fest, a fanfiction and fanart fest centered around fem-BNB!

≽^•⩊•^≼
Q: Can I claim multiple prompts?
A: Yes, authors may claim and fulfill multiple prompts. However, they must finish their first prompt before fulfilling a second.
≽^•⩊•^≼
Q: If someone has already claimed the prompt that I wanted, can I also claim it?
A: No, each submitted prompt can only be claimed once, with the exception of the self-prompt.
≽^•⩊•^≼
Q: If I want to write something that is not submitted as a prompt, can I self-prompt?
A: Yes, self-prompting is allowed, and a separate prompt titled ‘Self-Prompt’ will be provided for authors who wish to self-prompt. This prompt can be claimed by multiple authors.
≽^•⩊•^≼
Q: I want to submit a prompt, but I don’t have an AO3 account. How can I still submit something?
A: Please contact us through our Mond or Twitter, and we will organise for your prompt to be submitted to the collection.
≽^•⩊•^≼
Q: Are chaptered fics allowed?
A: Yes, chaptered fics are allowed and can be updated by the author with successive chapters after they are posted to the fest collection. At least one chapter must be ready for posting during the initial upload period. There is no time limit on when successive chapters should be uploaded, and the fic can be marked as complete when the author deems it so.

Q: What happens if I no longer want to participate in the fest?
A: If you no longer wish to participate in the fest, please contact the moderators via email or Twitter. Additionally, if you would like to post your work based on a prompt from the fest but no longer wish to participate in the fest, please contact the moderators directly to discuss this, so we can ensure your work is no longer affiliated with the fest. We will ask that you retain a link to the prompt from the fest in the notes section to properly credit the prompter.

Q: What happens if I would like to request an extension on my work?
A: If you find that you would benefit from an extension on the time given before the posting period, please contact the moderators. These will be allocated on a case-by-case basis.
≽^•⩊•^≼
Q: Am I allowed to discuss my work or prompts with others?
A: As previously stated, all works (both written and art) must stay anonymous during the anonymous period. This includes prohibitions on publicly discussing your prompts (both submitted and/or claimed) and work(s), as well as posting WIPs. We will organise our own WIP event, where we will contact participants to ask if they would like to submit a WIP of their work, which will be posted anonymously on the fest account. Please see the schedule for when WIPs will be posted.

Q: Am I allowed to change my claim during the writing period?
A: If you wish to change your claim, please inform the moderators via Twitter or email of your AO3 handle, your preferred prompt and wait for approval.

Q: Can I remain anonymous even after the author reveal period?
A: Yes, please get in contact with us to arrange this.
