Instructions for Prompting

Hi everyone! I’m so grateful for your generosity in donating to these organizations. Here are the instructions for getting your well-deserved rewards:

1. When you donate, you’ll get a receipt. This will usually come by email. Take a screenshot of that receipt to prove that you donated. Please feel free to edit out identifying information if you aren’t comfortable sharing it.

2. Please let me know through this form how much you donated and to which organizations!

3. This enormous document contains the tumblr urls and ao3 profiles links for every author who’s volunteered so far. It’s a lot of information, and I’ve tried to impose some order, but it’s still messy. That said, here’s how it works:

The document is divided into a number of different sheets by fandom. I tried to split off the fandoms with the most authors willing to write for them, but I couldn’t sort all of the literally hundreds of different fandoms people offered fic for. So, if you don’t see your fandom listed on one of the pages, head over to the page marked “and everything else” and look through what’s on offer there. I guarantee at least one person has offered to write for your fandom of choice.

Each page lists the authors by their tumblr urls and their ao3 profiles, if they have them. It also lists what part of the fandom they write in for fandoms that are particularly big and sprawling (for instance, an avengers writer and an x-men writer are both on the marvel page, but the subfandom column will tell you which is which).

Each author was also given the option to indicate what subjects they are not willing to write about. Please be respectful and don’t send prompts to authors about subjects they’ve said they’re not willing to engage with.

Each author specified a rate for their work. If their rate is 100 words/dollar, that means they will write 100 words for every dollar you donate.

4. This much smaller document contains the tumblr urls of every artist who’s volunteered so far. Because there are many fewer artists than authors, I haven’t sorted the artists by fandom. Artists also specified their rates. Please look at them carefully, so you know exactly what an artist is willing to draw for you.

5. Once you’ve picked a creator, head over to their tumblr and send them a private message. Remember that screenshot of your receipt? Send that to the creator so they know that you’ve donated and how much. Then let them know what you want them to write or draw!

6. Please don’t be a jerk. If you donate once, please don’t send the same receipt to multiple creators. These creators are donating their time, effort, and talent to this project in order to help people in need. Don’t abuse that. Ok?

Thanks again for your generosity and your support of this project. Enjoy your new fanworks!

Instructions for Creators

Creators! Thank you so much for offering your time and talent to this project! Here are your instructions:

1. All the info about your fandoms, writing rates, urls, ao3 handles, and such-like is in this fucking massive document if you are a writer or in this significantly smaller document if you are an artist. Please note: the author list is partly sorted by fandom, so your info may appear more than once if you offered fic in multiple fandoms.

2. All of you need to have tumblr private messaging enabled while this project is ongoing. That’s by far the easiest and most versatile way for people to contact you, since neither asks nor submissions allow for easy back-and-forth communication. I know some people don’t like to have PMs enabled, but please turn it on at least temporarily or this isn’t going to work.

3. People who’ve donated will send you a receipt showing that they donated and how much. They may or may not black out identifying information, depending on their comfort level. Please don’t accept prompts without proof of donation.

4. We’re operating on something of an honor system here. Could someone submit the same receipt to 20 different creators? Yeah, that could happen. But none of us have the time or energy to police that shit, so let’s assume that people are acting in good faith.

5. I know you all have lives and so forth, so a short deadline for finishing prompts is unrealistic and unreasonable. So let’s say: for short fics or simple drawings, they should be finished within a month of getting the prompt. For long fics or more complicated work, you should at least have posted some of it within a month. If that timeline won’t work for you, please be upfront about that with anyone who sends you a prompt, so they can decide whether they want to send it elsewhere.

6. This right here is a link to an AO3 collection where you can post anything you write as a result of this exchange. If you post your art on AO3, that can go in this collection as well. I really want to see everything you guys make, and I’m sure other people will too, so please do put it in there.

That’s about it! Once again, thank you all so much for your generosity with your time and talent. Also, there’s absolutely nothing stopping you guys from donating and sending each other prompts, so go for it!
