#FAQ post

[team-chaotix-week]

They're finally here!!!

Team Chaotix Week 2025:

May 1st - 7th

---

Day 3 has two prompts because I know some may not have read/don't like the comics. You can choose one or the other, or do both

Day 7 is a free prompt! Let your imagination run wild!

If you have any questions, comments or anything else, the ask box is always open!

Please use the event tags so I can see your posts. Feel free to tag the blog as well.

Just a reminder, this week focuses on friendship and family dynamics, and welcomes all types of media (excluding AI generated). However, since the event is family/friendship focused, please don't submit shipping content.

Not all three characters need to be there to fill prompts, and you can start working on the prompts as soon as they're out. However, please try to withhold posting them until the week of the event itself.

And lastly, huge thanks to my sister for making this poster after I explained the new sonic hyperfixation starting with a 'dont judge me' text.

FAQ

What is a Big Bang?

A Big Bang is a fandom event wherein writers and artists come together to create! Typically, a writer will create a fic that meets a certain minimum length requirement, and an artist will create an art piece based upon that work. Writers and artists are paired up to work on their parts until the posting date, where the pieces are posted together!

Who can participate?

Any fans of the Stobotnik pairing are more than welcome to participate! This includes writers and artists, but we are also looking for beta readers and moderators. Currently, there is no cutoff for the number of participants.

How do I join?

Currently, artist and beta sign-ups are open! The first round of sign-ups was for writers, followed by artist and beta readers, who may input preferences for which project they would like to work on.

What happens after I sign up?

You will be contacted in DMs with the link to a Discord server, which will be the main hub for communication and check-ins. A Discord account will most likely be required for your participation in the event, but we are currently looking at possible alternative forms of communication if enough people request it. Can I write/draw NSFW?

As long as you are over 18, yes! There will be a question within the application to confirm you are 18 or older; if you lie about this to us, you will be removed from the event. It is also required that writing and art of this nature is appropriately tagged and warned upon posting.

Can I participate as both an artist and writer?

No. For the sake of us here in the mod team and everyone participating, it is far easier if each person only does one thing, so you will need to pick one or the other.

Is there a theme?

There is no theme; if we run another event in future, there may be, but for the 2025 Big Bang, there's no theme, so go wild!

I have a question not answered here.

Please check the event questions tag (#SBB Questions) before sending in an ask. If your question has not already been answered, then feel free to ask us!

Please also be aware that no generative AI is to be used in the creation of pieces for this event, nor may any of the pieces created for this event be used for generative AI purposes.

————————《《FAQ》》————————

This post will be updated over time.

Main artist account: @centfornothing (both tumblr, twitter and soon bluesky)

Currently, i am very busy with university, and I'm not gonna be free any time soon...(except holidays, obviously) BUT I am really trying to put at least SOME time into what I've created here, so there's that. (Hopefully I'll survive all that)

— Usage of Stitch/Fanart

1. Q: Can I create fanart of Stitch?

A: Yes, I'd be more than happy if you do! ^^

Also, do not be shy to tag me! I will, from time to time, check if i was tagged somewhere.

2. Q: Can I use your character in my comic/animation/fanfiction?

A: Yep! I don't see why not.

3. Q: Can I ship *insert character name here* with Stitch?

A: Sure, have fun! But I sure do hope that the character in question is not a child. I am strongly against it.

4. Q: Can I create NSFW🔞 content of Stitch?

A: Yes, unless it involves children/incest. Do not draw stuff like that.

5. Q: Can I voice act your comics?

A: Any day!! Just don't forget to put credits, everything else is up to you! ^^

— NOT ALLOWED

I'm being repetitive here, but whatever. These are the only things I don't want people to do with my character, and I hope you understand why.

DO NOT create content depicting Stitch engaging with children in sexual manner.

DO NOT create content depicting Stitch endorsing incest/racism/f*scism/n*zism or anything similar to that.

As advice, I'd kindly ask you not to create stuff like this at all. Please be a better person and be responsible with what you create and put out there on the internet.

— About asks/questions

Questions that I have already answered won't get a reply.

Not all the questions will get their answers. Either because it's not the time for the answer yet or because it's irrelevant/not a question at all.

If there's too many questions, yours might be missed/might get a late reply(currently i have 70+ questions, no joke, and i just cant answer all of them, especially when there's more of them every day). But don't be shy asking questions anyway!

Other reasons for your questions not getting an answer:

I might be busy because I also have to live a life.

If your question is something like "I love your au sm," then thank you. I really appreciate your kind words, you are making my day💞

I might not want to answer your question for reasons. (Provocative questions, personal questions, etc)

If you are asking something related to YOUR OWN mental health. Please, PLEASE, if you have real problems, do not try to find a solution for them from internet strangers, go and talk to a real, qualified professional.

Please do not vent to me, I am not qualified to offer you help. I wish you the best, please stay safe.

And just a separate point about roleplays. Sorry, but I don't really do them. I can play along to something unserious and small, but whole roleplays are not for me.

— About Stitch

Stitch uses any pronouns, but they/them is a preferred one.

They are aroace.

The place they live in is called "Treatment space"(the info on what it is will be elaborated on sometime later). It is accessible for anyone in Omega Timeline at any given point through a door. But it can also be accessed from anywhere if you have one of 2 special keys: small red key that will create a door for 1 person leading to the Treatment Space or the bigger dark red key that will create a much bigger door, also leading to the Treatment Space(backyard). Keys can be mostly found in Omega Timeline, but some are scattered throughout the Multiverse.

They mimic the voice according to the form they have at the moment. So Sans' voice for a form of Sans, etc.

For all the different parts of plush bodies and clothes, there is a separate big room in Treatment Space.

Stitch doesn't need to sleep, eat, or drink.

Their most preferred forms are Toriel(convenience) and Sans(frequency of use).

The forms they don't like to use the most are the ones that are small(like Temmie, annoying dog, Flowey, etc.)

— The Lore(WIP)

Prologue

Chapter 1: Lucky streak — part 1

— Stitch's forms

I have some forms drawn separately, and some that I drew with some other sketches. I MIGHT be a bit too lazy to draw every from individually for now, so here's what I have:

Papyrus

Muffet

Mettaton

Alphys

Gaster

Monster kid (MK)

Grillby

Frisk and Chara(want to change them)

Toriel(if you can't tell, I like this one a lot)

In this pinned post you with find the links to the released pages, FAQ's, and rules for asks. This post will be updated regularly to keep things organized.

SUMMARY

During one of their visits to the Dark World, Kris and Susie find that two humans had mysteriously appeared from seemingly nowhere. Unsure of what else to do, Kris beings them back to Hometown to figure out who they are, where they came from, and more importantly, why they were covered in dust. With nowhere else to go, the two are essentially adopted into the Dreemurr family until they can figure out how to get back home.

ABOUT THE MOD (COMING SOON)

Figured for anyone who is interested to know more about the person creating the comic, I'll give a little bit of info!

FAQ'S AND CLARIFICATIONS

When does the comic upload?

Ideally, every Friday at 6AM CST…. But you know… Life can get in the way sometimes!

When does Fractured take place?

The beginning of this comic begins after the events of Deltarune chapter 2, and eventually branches off into its own route during Chapter 3 and 4. (That is unless Chapters 3 and 4 completely destroy my theories/plot line, but that’s something to worry about on June 5th!)

How does controlling the KFC gang work?

At the beginning of this AU, Kris is controlled by one player while Frisk and Chara are controlled by another. The connection to these two players are lost/corrupted in the beginning few chapters and that leaves the three open to any and all players (you, the readers) to take control or influence their actions regardless of any resets or saves.  The words you comment on posts, the questions you ask, and the answers you give in polls can impact what happens in the story. Not everything will have an influence but it will always have a chance to.

How will you know what has influenced the story?

I will respond directly stating that it will have an impact. Most of the time I will state how it will influence the story, however, I do want to keep some things secret occasionally.

How do the players communicate to Kris, Frisk and Chara?

Players are able to communicate to them primarily through any screen such as a tv, computer, phone, ect. On occasion they can communicate to them via ominous voices inside their heads. Otherwise, players can not directly interact with their world and will not have a physical appearance. I should also add that only the KFC gang are able to see or hear the players' messages. No one else is able to.

RULES FOR ASKS & INFLUENCING THE STORY

In this AU, Frisk and Chara are 12 and THEY ARE NONBINARY so anything inappropriate, rude, or offensive will be deleted immediately.

I’m trying to stay as canon as possible, however, if your ask includes fangames or other AU’s (ex: Undertale Red and Yellow) I will try to work it into the story if I can. I’m not very knowledgeable about other AU’s but I’m willing to at least try.

Considering that I’m basically running both an ask blog and uploading a comic, I may not be able to answer right away. Please be patient with me, I’m doing my best over here…

[laurenillustrated]

A little FAQ’s post!

“Can I use your art for profile pictures?”

Yes that is fine! I would appreciate credit in the bio! (example: pfp by @laurenillustrated)

“Do you take requests?”

Technically, no. I don’t take requests. Although if I see a mention of a story or characters that I like it’s possible that they might appear in my sketches or illustrations! I actually have a list of many book characters I want to get to that people happen to comment as well 😂

“What digital brushes do you use?”

For procreate I use Old Beach, 6B Pencil, and my own brushes from my brush pack! (Linked in bio)

“When will you draw more _____?”

If you’ve followed me for a particular fan art or subject I’m sorry to disappoint 😂 All of my fan art works are very random and come and go with whatever inspires me at that moment.

“What inspired your art style?”

Currently my works are very inspired by vintage children’s and editorial illustration! Specifically 1920s to 1960s.

Some of my favorite illustrators include: Norman Rockwell, Harry Beckoff, Maurice Sendak, Earl Oliver Hurst, Cicely Mary Barker, and Jessie Willcox Smith!

* HEY THERE! YEAH, YOU. THE RULES ARE HERE TO BE READ. . . DON’T KEEP THEM WAITING!!

—

Take the time to read the following before submitting an ask:

By no means is NSFW allowed. Any inappropriate requests, submissions or requests will be deleted. This blog is made for all ages.

Blogs/askblogs that consist of, but are not limited to; AUs, OCs, other media and the like—are allowed to interact with Sans! But cannot dictate responses. No godmodding and no sexual advances allowed.

This Underswap is heavily based on Canonswap, fanon designs and ideas will likely not apply but this is still the Mods take on Underswap.

The askblog is not canon to Underswap nor is it affiliated with the creator of said AU.

The askblog is mainly for the Magnificent Sans, but you may also ask Papyrus questions as he lives under the same roof, and Chara, who frequents their home.

Anyone may use the art from this blog for profiles/icons/backgrounds as long as proper credit is given. (Most the art is illustrated by user @b0ne_m3al)

Underswap belongs to PopcornPr1nce

Please be respectful to the Mods of this blog.

(>>* Masterminds. (morons) )

F.A.Q.s

Is Sans aware of AUs and the Multiverse? Does he know Ink and is he part of the Star Sanses?

No, No, and ..No. Sans is only confined to what (little) he knows about the things going on in his AU… For now.

What characters are aware of RESETs and timelines?

The only individuals aware of RESETs are Chara, Temmie and Papyrus. But the former of the three does not recall those timelines.

Are the monsters still underground or are they on the surface?

Being as this blog takes place in a TRUE PACIFIST ending, they reside on the surface.

How old are the skeleton brothers?

Sans is 26, and Papyrus is 21.

How does Chara speak? And what pronouns does Chara use?

The human speaks whenever they feel like, most oftenly signs when communicating. (Selectively Mute.)

Oh, and the Human prefers Gender Neutral terms, their pronouns are They/Them. :)

Is Papyrus single?

* WELL, HE- [Papyrus covers Sans’ mouth.] * no.

[frenchublog]

Hello, frenchublog,

I'm very sorry if it's late where you live 🙏🏻 (cuz I live in France and it's 15min to 5am so)

I was just wondering if you could give me some advice on how to set up a shop like yours ?

I haven't yet started to post my art but since it could represent a potential small soucre of income, I started scanning my old art to either post it as is or/and paint over them digitally to properly set up my account.

I don't know if you'll read this, but thank you nonetheless

Heyo Neril !

Je vais me permettre de répondre en français héhé

D'abord merci pour ton autre message j'apprécie vraiment le soutient. Je vais raconter un peu dans les grandes lignes comment ça s'est déroulé. J'ai toujours voulu vendre mais je n'avais pas assez confiance en moi et à chaque fois je me décourageais vite. En début d'année j'ai tenté une connerie et je suis à ce jour toujours en arrêt. Sur conseil du psychiatre, elle m'a conseillé de faire ça pendant que j'étais à la maison.

Au début, je passais par pixarprinting pour les impressions (et d'ailleurs je ferai toujours du restock pour les grands formats sur ce site) Une de mes meilleure amie passait par Bigcartel pour l'hébergement, après tu édites ton site selon ton esthétique.

Évidemment c'est une organisation car les commandes m'ont permis d'agrandir l'activité. J'ai pu investir dans le matériel mais il y a des indispensable (les wraps pour emballer, les enveloppes etc. car lors de l'envoi on veut protéger le print de la pluie par exemple) Commander sur internet est onéreux donc j'ai décidé d'investir (et l'investissement est assez conséquent) une nouvelle imprimante Canon Pixma Pro a pu être acheté, une massicot pour les ajustements car maintenant je peux faire des impressions à la maison. Regarde l'immense bordel que j'ai haha mais tout est trié, classé, et c'est super important d'avoir une organisation sinon on peut être facilement être submergé.

Le soutient fort que j'ai reçu m'a permis d'acquérir ce bébé, la cricut pour les stickers. C'est ce qui m'a permis d'agrandir le côté merchandize et personnaliser à fond mes créations, l'emballage.

Pour ce qui est du site, toujours sur Bigcartel, tu établis le paypal en mode business et si tu veux mettre plus de choses sur ton catalogue tu payes 15 euros par mois mais gratuitement tu peux mettre au max 6 prints ce qui est respectable pour commencer doucement. Tu choisis ton thème, tes couleurs vraiment tu te fais plaisir sur ce côté là. En fait, assure toi que tes créations soient quali niveau impression, genre ce que je me dis quand je fais mes trucs c'est me poser la question "Est ce c'est valable ? Est ce que je peux les vendre ?" et si les standards sont pas bon, je recommence. De manière général des A4 ou A5 en format et entre 260 et 300 pour le grammage papier.

Après tu dois aussi vendre tes créations donc pour tout ce qui concerne la promotion c'est bien d'avoir plusieurs réseaux sociaux et de build une communauté. J'espère que j'ai pu t’aiguiller un peu, je dois t'avouer pour moi aussi c'est récent et il m'arrive de faire des erreurs mais on apprends au fur et à mesure, il faut être patient.

Merci pour ta question Neril ! Belle après-midi ! (et il faut dormir !)

[hymen-restoration-project]

Can someone please ask me an original question? Yes trans men go to the gulag. No I do not respect them or treat them any differently than I would cis men who I also do not love or respect. Yes even the "good ones". Yes I think cis men should be giving birth. Yes Dio was a better front man for Sabbath than Ozzy. Childbirth is too painful for women going through it not to be misogynist. Yes trans women have a place in the feminarchy. Non binary people can choose where they want to go. Yes I support women's wrongs. The Cumcopter is a real solution that I do support sincerely.

[thewitchwolf]

FAQ

What is The Witch Wolf?

The Witch Wolf is a free to read paranormal romance webcomic created by Dani Carr (she/her) and Bree Williams (they/she), a wife and wife team living in Los Angeles with their perfect witch hound, the Baba Yaga Dogga. The webcomic is written by Dani and illustrated by Bree and Matheus Nogueira (he/him) serves as our cultural consultant. Yaga serves as woof consultant. 

When does The Witch Wolf update?

The Witch Wolf updates once a month on the full moon on thewitchwolf.org and on our Patreon. Chapters are usually 4 parts, with 8-10 pages to each part. Ancillary content such as worldbuilding, short stories, doodles, nsfw art and stories, character Q&As, and BTS references are released on different tiers of the Patreon each month.

What is The Witch Wolf about?

Spoilers, be warned! The Witch Wolf is a webcomic about three witch sisters tangling with their forest home’s waning magic while mediating the growing discontent between the resident lycans and vampires, but complications arise when one of the sisters is bitten by her forbidden werewolf lover. 

Any tropes to sweeten the pot?

Here’s a few, but not too many to avoid spoiling the whole story! Forbidden romance, secret dating, childhood sweethearts, friends to lovers, forced proximity, sisterly bonding, supernatural setting (witches, werewolves, and vampires oh my!), gothic horror, and mind control (particularly dream weaver and master of illusion)

The Witch Wolf is a bit of Practical Magic & Charmed meets Dracula & Interview with a Vampire meets Ginger Snaps & Underworld. 

Do you have content warnings?

Yes! We have a page dedicated to content warnings, which we update as needed. This is an adult paranormal romance with gothic horror elements that will delve into heavy topics like power and consent, including sexual consent. Strong language, violence, and nudity are present and we consider The Witch Wolf Rated R, or M for Mature. 

Why do you have a Patreon if the webcomic is free?

The Witch Wolf is absolutely free to read, but we want to offer folks a community spot to chat with other fans of the webcomic and receive additional content about the world, the characters, and behind the scenes looks at the art and the process of creating this story! Making a webcomic requires a lot of dedicated time – illustrating this project is Bree’s full time job, so having a spot where folks can support us and receive additional content is extremely helpful to ensure the whole story can be told. 

Why do you have a cultural consultant?

Our cultural consultant, Matheus Nogueira, is a key part of our team. While much of The Witch Wolf takes influence and inspiration from Bree & Dani’s Irish heritage, Will Anoa’i, a main character, is Samoan and that cultural background influences much of his story and his experiences. In order to correctly and respectfully represent Will and Samoa, we hired our incredible friend Matheus to guide us on Samoan culture and inform Will’s characterization. 

How can I contact you?

Feel free to message us via the ask box here or over on our Patreon! We are also on social media. The Witch Wolf - Instagram Dani Carr - Instagram; Bluesky; Tumblr Bree Williams - Instagram; Bluesky; Website

[lyadrielle]

hello i was wondering, you seem to have a brilliant understanding of anotmy, are there any books that you would recomend.

im looking for something that goes into enough detail for me to understand the basics and complex parts but not like striaght texbook style.

something that would be good to study that goes over form, figuer and muscle as well as bone structure.

sorry if you dont have any recs but i love your art and art style

thank you!!!

Hey there! Sure thing all the "Morpho" book series by Michel Lauricella are amazing. They go in depth into each subjects that are important to learn without having tons of writing on them. Just enough to understand what you see. Hope this helps.

FAQ

Take a look at this list of questions, copy the one you want answered, click on the readmore, then search for the question.

About the fest in general/Contact What is the Summer Wildflowers Exchange? How do I contact a mod?   Who all is running this anyway? How can I follow the exchange? Do I have to join the discord?What's the schedule? Nominations and Signups: What is the difference between nominations and signups?  Why are they separate? What exactly is a crossover, considering campaign 3? Are platonic relationships allowed? What relationships are not included? So is everything else included? What does it mean for a relationship to not be included?

Creating Works: Wait, do I have to write all of these prompts? I'm not familiar with some of these! Uh. Wow.  (blush emoji).  All of my prompts are explicit. That's not what I usually make. What are the rules on anonymity? How do I get a beta? I really want to check something with my recipient. How?

Post-Assignment turn-in: What's the difference between Creator Reveals and Work Reveals? I missed the sign up, how can I still participate?

What is the Summer Wildflowers Exchange?

Summer Wildflowers is a fanworks (fanfic and fanart) gift exchange for the Critical Role fandom run via the Archive of Our Own (AO3).

The rules are pretty simple: any pairings are allowed that have fewer than 500 works as of the time nominations open! In previous years, we have eliminated certain ships, but as the fandom grows, this has just become neater. We also want to make sure we encourage people to create works for relationships - platonic or romantic -  that don’t have many fics.

How it works: Participants sign-up to write a story or create one piece of art according to the specifications of another participant. In return, they will also receive one story or piece of art created for them by another participant.

How do I contact a Mod?

If you need to contact the mods for any reason, here are the ways in which you can do so. Please use the method which suits you best. If you do not receive a response within 48 hours, please try again using an alternate method.

E-mail: CR.Summer.Wildflowers@proton.me The CR Wildflowers Discord A comment to any post on the Dreamwidth Community Tumblr message or ask to the Summer Wildflowers blog.

Who all is running this anyway?

From 2021 - 2024, Wildflowers was run by LadyofRoseFire and Capitola

For 2025, it’s being run by Operafloozy, with generous help from A_Orbit (helping with answering questions and clarifications, discord moderation among other things), and anubisisms (graphics design and discord creation/moderation). If you know any of us and are more comfortable reaching out to that person directly, please feel free to do so.

How can I follow the exchange?

You can follow us here on Tumblr and Dreamwidth. You can also join the CR Wildflowers Discord Community.

Do I have to join the discord?

Nope! It’s completely optional. We’ll be using the discord for questions, resources, sprints, reminders, encouragement, and general camaraderie, but if it’s not your jam - or you just are in enough discords–that's perfectly fine.

What's the schedule?

For 2025, the schedule is as follows:

Nominations Open: April 25 Nominations Close: May 8 (11:55 EST) Sign ups Open: May 9 (9AM EST) Sign ups Close: May 23 (11:55 EST) Assignments Go Out: No Later than May 26 (11:55 EST) No Penalty Default Deadline: June 23 (11:55 EST) Assignments Due: July 7 Works Revealed: July 14 Creators Revealed: July 21

What's the difference between nominations and signups? Why are they two separate things?

Nominations: You have the chance to nominate various relationships - platonic, romantic, or sexual. This is not required to participate, but if nobody nominates a relationship, you can't request or offer it.

Signups: You look through the list of nominated relationships and create 4-10 prompts based on them and offer to write 4-10 relationships. This can be relationships that you nominated or ones that you didn't - and you don't have to request or offer every relationship you nominated (it's considered good manners to at least intend to request or offer them). You have to do this step to get a gift fic.

Why is it done this way?  There are a lot of possible combinations of relationships that are out there, and you're all creative individuals. The 2024 tagset had over 300 relationships nominated. This is an exchange, which means that the offers and requests have to match. We need to limit it somehow. And you might decide to offer or request relationships that don't match the ones you nominated (maybe someone else nominated them - or someone else has an idea so brilliant that you want to steal it).  But also - the background logic for automatically signing someone up based off of their nominations would be a lot for poor AO3.

After the way campaign 3 ended, is everything a crossover? Is nothing?

The general rules we have are as follows:

a) If the characters largely interact in one campaign, nominate that pairing in that campaign. For example, Ludinus Da'leth/Trent Ikithon would be in Critical Role Campaign Two; Ludinus Da'leth/Predathos would be Critical Role Campaign Three

b) If the characters interact in multiple campaigns, nominate that pairing within the campaign they are featured in the most. For example, Keyleth & Percy interact in both Campaign One and Campaign Three, but because they are more heavily featured in Campaign One, they should be nominated there.

c) If the characters are from a miniseries (Exandria Unlimited, for example) and are also seen within a main campaign, go with the one where they have more screen time (approximate).  For example, Dorian & Fearne and Fearne/Opal are pairings that have interacted in both Campaign 3 and Exandria Unlimited, but Dorian & Fearne would be Campaign Three, while Fearne/Opal would be Exandria Unlimited.

d) If the characters feature in different campaigns and haven't interacted or you're not sure if they've interacted, nominate them within Critical Crossovers.

Use your best judgement, you're not going to be yelled at for getting it wrong.

Are platonic relationships allowed?

Yes! Platonic relationships are allowed and encouraged, and this includes platonic versions of the disallowed romantic relationships. If the platonic relationship has more than 500 fics, though, it also falls outside the guidelines for this exchange.

What relationships are not included?

This year, in 2025, the list is as follows:

Keyleth/Vax'ildan Kima/Allura Percy/Vex'halia Percy/Vax'ildan Vax'ildan & Vex'ahlia

Beauregard Lionett/Yasha Nydoorin Beauregard Lionett & Caleb Widogast Essek Theylss/Caleb Widogast Fjord Stone/Caleb Widogast Jester Lavorre/Caleb Widogast Jester Lavorre/Fjord Stone Jester Lavorre/Beauregard Lionett Mollymauk Tealeaf/Caleb Widogast Nott & Caleb Widogast Yasha Nydoorin & Mollymauk Tealeaf

Laudna/Imogen Temult Laudna & Imogen Temult Orym/Dorian Storm

Is everything else included?

All relationships where all of the characters involved originate from Exandria (or Ruidis) count. Note that this does not include RPF.

What does it mean for a relationship to not be included? Does that mean that Yasha can’t ever refer to her wife or Vex and Percy can’t ever have a conversation about their kids?

The relationships above aren’t eligible to be included in the nominations, which means that people can’t sign up to have them be the focus of a work. Other relationships can be depicted (unless they are specifically listed in the DNW list), but the requested relationship should be the focus.

Wait, do I have to create something for all of these prompts? I'm not familiar with some of these!

You're only responsible for one work, no matter how many prompts you're given. You can create it based off of any of the prompts that were requested, even if it wasn't one of the ones that was offered, and you can create more than one work if you're feeling inspired (any work after the first would be considered a treat).

Uh. Wow.  😳.  All of my prompts are explicit. That's not what I usually create...

AO3 only shows the highest rating for an offer - click on the rating button to double check all of the ratings that were requested. You can also specify what range of ratings you feel comfortable writing in your initial offer.

If there's still a compatibility problem, contact a mod.

Can I create something with a polyamorous relationship where two of the members are part of a popular pairing?

Polyamorous relationships (and friendships featuring more than one person) are considered as a different relationship than a relationship with only two of those characters. This means that polyamorous relationships that include a popular pairing would be included, but also if someone requests A/B, you shouldn’t include a fill that has A/B/C . 

What are the rules for anonymity?  

The expectations are that you keep who you have as a recipient secret - you don't want to spoil the fun! So avoid posting snippets on places that are open for anyone to see them, like bluesky or tumblr, and be very careful in discords. For things like the CR Wildflowers Discord and the Haven discord, avoid posting snippets or identifying information. In other discords where you think you might be the only one participating or one of a few, you can put the information under spoilers. If you need a cheerleader - I definitely understand! Consider messaging a friend that you know isn't participating, or even contacting a frequent kudoser or commenter on your work and ask if they'd be interested in being in on the secret.

How do I get a beta?

You can contact someone you know, or ask around using the above rules, but also - we will be sending out a form for people who would like to beta, and have the list available in the discord and on demand from anyone who might be interested.

I really want to check something with my giftee, how do I do this without breaking anonymity?

Contact a mod, we'll check for you.

What happens after the work submitted deadline? When is my work revealed?

There's a week between when the works are due and when the works are revealed - this is to allow the mods to ensure that everyone has submitted their work and let any possible pinch hits to be written.  

Then there's another week where the works are posted anonymously - don't claim your work on any other site during this week, but you can respond to comments on AO3 (they automatically anonymize you).

After creator reveals, you can feel free to repost your work and claim your work wherever you like.

I missed the sign up, how can I still participate?

Two ways! You can either go through the signup prompts and create a treat up until the last day of the fest. Treats can be shorter or less polished than standard exchange works, (250 words or a sketch), but otherwise are expected to comply with the same rules.

Or you can watch the dreamwidth and the tumblr to see if we need any pinch hitters - you'll be given less time to fulfill your prompt, but you'll be ensuring someone gets something.

FAQ 2025

This is a living post and we will continue to update and add to this post as we get more questions and feedback from the community.

What if I need to drop out?

Because Ghouls and Gangs is a collaborative event, we expect you to be aware of your limits and conscientious of other participants. Dropping out after claims can affect your partner. If you don’t think you can finish the event, it’s easier on mods and other event participants if you drop out early.

If you need to drop out, it is better to do it sooner rather than later.

Tell a mod that you're dropping out and the reason why; we'll take care of the rest. Because the server is for participants only, you will be asked to leave. More information can be found in our guide here.

What does it mean to be a pinch hitter?

Pinch hitters are backup artists who replace an artist that drops out. We call on pinch hitters on a need-by-need basis. Signing up as a pinch hitter doesn't guarantee that you’ll be called upon, but your presence is appreciated.

Additional explanation about being a pinch hitter can be found here.

What does beta reader do in this event?

Each beta reader must sign up as a beta reader in the form to be added to the Bang discord server. Once you join the server you can select the beta role. 

Beta work varies from spell checking, editing, hashing out a scene, test reading a fic for clarity and flow, and more. The needs will vary depending on the author. 

You do not need to be an artist or an author to sign up as a beta.

Typically a beta reader will provide long-term help to the author. All possible betas should be aware of this upon signing up. 

Please note that beta readers will get assigned to a fic and paired with an author by the mods and they are subject to a single check-in. 

More information about betas can be found in our guide here.

Can I sign up for multiple roles?

You can sign up for multiple roles but please be aware that you cannot create art for your own fic, this is a collaborative event which means you will be working with someone else! On top of that, please make sure that you are only biting off enough for you to chew, please don’t overwhelm yourself by taking on too many roles.

The section in our guidelines related to multiple roles can be found here.

If you have any additional questions, feel free to send an ask to this Tumblr. You can find our full Ghouls and Gangs Guidelines and FAQ here.
