Guidelines/FAQ

What can be created to fill a prompt?
Anything creative that you can make and post up somewhere. Fics, arts, mood boards, vids, style boards, playlists, etc. Just make sure to use any applicable warnings/ratings/ships etc on your post so people know what they are about to enter into.

Does the fic/art/etc have to be of a certain size?
No? Not really.
I suppose if you're writing a fic to fill a prompt shoot for 100 words, but I'm also not going to count your words. No upper limits. If your inspiration takes off, follow it.
For Moodboards and Aesthetic type things (style boards stuff like that), I'm going to say maybe at least 6 images/elements put together to create your piece.
For digital or traditionally created Art and Vids, these things are time and labor intensive for even a small image or short video. I suppose a video should maybe aim to be at least like 20 seconds long or more? And Art piece should at least be a 100x100 pixel avatar size or larger?
If you're doing a playlist or something, then perhaps 6 songs or more?
I'm not going to be overly fussy though, this is for having fun and making something for the fandom.

What ships are allowed?
Most ships are allowed. Let's avoid incest and adult/underage ships. Otherwise, have fun.
Also Gen (aka no ship) is also allowed. Ships not required.

If you are of age to, and desire to write smut, fics can be smutty, as long as they fall to the side of light, fluffy, feel good smut.

 

How many prompts can a person do?
As many as you'd like. No claims needed, as two people using the same prompt will come up with different things. Also feel free to combine prompts/mix and match to get you creating whatever it is you want to create. The prompts are to help spur ideas and make something everyone can enjoy.
