since the fest is centered around mark, he must be apart of the main pairing. you’re free to include side ships/characters, but your fic must be mark centric.
the minimum word count is 1000. there will be 2 check-ins over the course of the fest, but neither will have minimum word counts. both one-shots and chaptered fics are allowed! (note: you must have at least one chapter completed!)
polyamorous relationships (ot3, ot4, etc.) are absolutely welcome in this fest, as long as mark is apart of the relationship! (e.g. markchenji)
writers participating will need an AO3 account before final submissions start. if you need help with getting an AO3 account, please dm!
writers and prompters must remain anonymous throughout the fest until reveals! this means that writers cannot post their works for this fest during wip wednesdays or publicly share their prompts.
the rule regarding wip wednesdays applies to artists as well!
NSFW content is allowed, but minors are NOT allowed to claim any NSFW prompts.
any fics/prompts containing the sexualization of minors will not be permitted.
please make sure to tag your fic properly! the tagging system is there for a reason!
if you have any questions or inquiries, please contact through dm, email, discord (you will have to send a friend request first), or retrospring and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible!
