Q: Is this for writers only?
A: Nope! All types of contributions are welcome. Fics, art, manips, edits, whatever. The event is all about generating more Stobin content, no matter the type!

Q: Do I have to do every prompt?
A: Not at all. The prompts are designed to inspire, not restrict. You can do as many or as little as you choose to.

Q: How do I submit a contribution?
A: For Tumblr, tag @stobinmonth in your post and we’ll reblog it. Otherwise, add ’#stobin month’ to your tags so it’ll get seen.
For Twitter, use the hashtag #stobinmonth on your post.
For AO3, you can submit your fic to the collection.

Q: Can I include other characters?
A: Yes, as long as the focus is on Steve and Robin’s friendship.

Q: For fics, is there a word count minimum/maximum?
A: No. Write as little or as much as you wish.

Q: Can I write romantic Steve/Robin?
A: Refer back to the rules. There can be an exception made for transfem Stevie etc as long as Robin’s lesbian identity is respected. This event, however, is intended to focus on their friendship, so keep that in mind.

Q: When does the event start?
A: March 1st. Prompts are usually posted January-February time to give people time to prepare.

Q: I interpreted a prompt differently to other people. Can I still do it?
A: Sure. There’s no set interpretation, they’re intended to be deliberately loose to allow multiple interpretations.

Q: I’m late! Can I still contribute?
A: Of course. Often posts continue to trickle through to April, but you can post belated contributions whenever.

Q: I’ve got an idea, but it only features Steve or Robin, not both of them.
A: As long as their friendship is still the focus, it’s no problem. They’re still best friends when they’re apart.

Q: You didn’t reblog my post. Why?
A: Most likely, I didn’t see it. In that case, you can send it directly to this blog or over to @lavenderstobins and I’ll rectify that.

Q: I want to do a prompt from a previous year's event. Can I do that?
A: Sure, just clarify what prompt list you're pulling from to avoid confusion.

Q: I don’t like this year’s prompts.
A: Make your own event.

1. Your contribution must be centred on Steve and Robin. You’re free to include other characters and background relationships, but the central focus must be on the two of them.

2. Robin must be a lesbian in your contribution.

That’s it. Have fun!
