What is a fanwork fest?
Basically, everyone leaves a prompt (or multiple). After all, the prompts are collated into a post, anyone (whether they were prompters or not) can choose which prompt(s) they would like and work on them through writing, drawing or editing graphics. Unlike a fanwork exchange, a fanwork fest means that even if you produce something for someone else, it does not necessarily mean your prompt(s) will be worked on, and vice versa. This allows for more freedom overall.
General Rules
- You can leave as many prompts as you want, the more the merrier!
- You can edit your prompt(s) until prompting ends.
- The minimum word count for fanfiction will be 1000 words.
- Fanart must be at least 500px x 500px.
- Graphics must be a minimum of 2 files.
- All fanworks must be based on the prompt chosen, standalone and complete.
- More than 70% of the fanwork must be Sehun/Lu Han. OT3s+more are allowed but a substantial focus must be on Sehun/Lu Han's relationship.
- All submissions will be checked by the mods.
- Don't reveal yourself to anyone until the reveals!
F.A.Q.
-
-
How do I leave a prompt?
Fill out the prompting document following the guidelines provided. There is no limit to how many you can leave! You can edit your prompt until prompting closes.
-
-
Am I allowed to leave a prompt even if I don't intend to claim any prompts?
Yes, a fanwork fest allows more freedom in whatever you choose to do.
-
-
How do I claim a prompt?
Fill in the form for claiming (available from 06 January 2019). Prompt claiming will be on a first come, first served basis. If you are a fanartist or graphics artist, you will be allowed to choose the same prompt as a fanfiction writer. You will only be allowed to work on one prompt at a time, but once you finish your assignment, feel free to claim another! We encourage you to can claim as much as you want to.
-
-
Why does the claiming period last until final submissions?
Selubration hopes that everyone can participate. That means, claiming lasts until all fanworks must be submitted. The goal of this fanwork fest is to promote Sehun/Lu Han fanworks so by removing the claiming deadline, everyone is allowed the opportunity to create something. When you claim a prompt (and if you are the first one to claim it), the moment you receive an OK from the mod, you can start writing/drawing/editing immediately! For those who claim after check-in, another check-in deadline will be made tailored to you. However, you will still need to submit by the final submissions deadline.-
-
What happens if I drop out?
Disappointment. But, apart from that, there won't be any harsh consequences because this fest is, after all, designed to encourage production of SeLu fanworks! Since this fest is less strict than an exchange, you can drop out whenever but it is discouraged because of the extra work the mod will go through ;A; Please think carefully about your availability before signing up. The prompt you have chosen will become free again, and anyone who is deciding which prompt they would like will be able to choose it. We will also tweet "Prompt ___ is free again!" so make sure to follow @selubration on twitter.
-
-
Am I allowed to tell people I'm participating in this fest?
Yes! By all means, spread the word! Encourage others to join! However, please don't disclose which prompt you are working on except to beta readers and proofreaders (who aren't participating in this fest). This ensures maximum fun and detective skills during the Guess Who game!
-
-
I need an extension...
E-mail selubration@gmail.com! Please do not keep us in the dark about why you haven't finished something by the deadline no matter how embarrassed you might be. As writers personally This is meant to be fun, after all! ^-^
-
-
Will the mods proofread all entries this time round?
No, we will not be proofreading all entries. But this round, we will be calling for people to sign up as betas (available from 06 January 2019)! Being a beta allows you to still participate in the fest but it is a little less stressful incase you don’t have time to produce to work of your own. It’s also a great way of forming new bonds with other members of our proud community!
If you have any questions/concerns, please comment on this post or e-mail selubration@gmail.com or pm selubrationmod! All comments will be screened. You can also contact us via twitter (@selubration).
