Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I have to be a part of the Malec Discord Server to participate? All continuous communication for this event will be provided in a special category in the MDS. This includes all announcements, reminders, and ongoing requirements. If you want to join but don’t want access to the entire server, you can be given a Discord role based on your role in this event so the rest of the server is not accessible to you.

Sign-ups haven’t closed yet but I’m so excited about this challenge and really want to begin. Can I start working now? Artists are free to begin their piece(s) as soon as they read through the rules and requirements! Writers, unfortunately, will have to until they are matched with an artist, but we appreciate your enthusiasm for this event!

Can I sign up for more than one role? Absolutely. Many bang participants sign up for multiple roles as long as you believe you can complete all pieces before the assigned deadline(s).

What if someone doesn’t have a match? In the event that the art prompts outnumber writers, we will do several rounds of claiming so that every art prompt has a writer. If writers outnumber art prompts, we will open up the art prompts so that more than one writer is assigned to the same artist or ask artists if they are interested in completing more art. Every artist will be matched with at least one writer and vice versa.

What if I’m matched with an art prompt/partner I don’t want? The Mods (and most artists) would never want someone to create something that makes them uncomfortable, so if there is an art prompt that you don’t want to be matched with, don’t choose it during claims.

If you have any legitimate concerns about a partner (i.e. harassment or rude behavior), we ask that you please notify the Mods. Intervention by the Mods will not occur simply because of disliking story/design choices or the content they’re producing. Mods will not allow any rude or dismissive behavior by any participant. Please just be nice and work hard to help each other.

Can I repost old art or reuse/add to a WIP? No, All content must be brand new and never before posted to any forum. More on this in the rules.

What if I’m not around when claims occur? Claims will span three days and will not be on a first come first serve basis so as long as you are able to submit your interest in those three days, chances are you’ll be matched with one of your top three choices.

What if I’m not positive I can finish within the deadline? When you sign up for this event you are making a commitment to yourself, the Mods, and your future partner(s) to meet all posted deadlines and to communicate with the Mods and your partner(s) regularly. Please don’t sign up for the event unless you are confident that you can fully participate and be honest with yourself about what you can commit to.

What if something comes up after claims and I need to drop out? We understand that dropping out due to unforeseen circumstances can and will happen. We are/have always been very understanding when this happens and are willing to work with you. The quicker you let us know, the more options the Mods have.

How can I contact the Mods? Send us an ask on here or join the Discord server where we are more accessible.

I decided to muck around on the Incorrect Quotes Generator, and Here's what came out (Shadowhunter version)

(Website Link) Simon: What’s up guys? I’m back. Jace: What the- you can’t be here. You’re dead. I literally saw you die. Simon: Death is a social construct. Magnus: Man, I only ever see you awake, do you ever shut down or stop running? Alec: Oh, I’m always running Alec: The question is from what Clary: Jace and I were crossing the street, and this dude drove by and honked at us Simon: *Sighing* What did Jace do? Clary: He chased him to the next red light, then reached into his window and... Jace: Who wants a steering wheel? *The squad right before Alec's wedding* Magnus: Well I have to go, I have a wedding to attend. Issy: Wait... Oh! I have a wedding to attend too! Clary: Oh, I have a wedding to attend as well Simon: I THINK WE ALL HAVE WEDDINGS TO ATTEND Jace, panicked: I THINK I HAVE A WEDDING TO OFFICIATE Clary: Can you keep a secret? Alec: Do you know anything about my life? Clary: No I do not. Good point. Alec: Jail is no fun. I’ll tell you that much. Magnus: Oh, you’ve been? Alec: Once. In Monopoly. Jace: Do you ever want to talk about your emotions, Alec? Alec: … No. Issy: I do! Jace: I know, Issy. Issy: I’m sad! Jace: I know, Issy. Simon: You saved me. I owe you my life. Raphael: No thanks. I’ve seen it and I’m not very impressed. Clary: Alec isn’t answering their phone Magnus: I’ll call Simon: Clary and I have both tried six times each, what makes you thi- Alec: Hello? I had to change the names around for them to make sense so many times lmao

Reading Saphael Shadowhunter stories from 2016 is trippy, they keep prattling on about betrayal after Simon helped free Camille. Now Simon should absolutely not let her out, but he was at the Dumort for literally a few days, so he didn't have some deep loyalty to Raphael or the clan.

At that point, Raphael was still the vampire who kidnapped Simon and brought him to Camille. This fact is usually glossed over in these stories.

Simon comes off so bad in these stories because they usually portray Raphael and Simon somehow having fallen deeply in love within five days, so Simon is also betraying his soul mate.

[fandoms-run-my-life]

Does anyone know this fiction?

Simon/Raphael

Raphael is addicted to Izzys blood and says mean things to Simon so Simon leaves

Simon ends up using the clan bank account to buy a warehouse district and turn it into a community for downworlders

Being Human

(Read on AO3, for @malecdiscordserver By The Angel Bingo prompt: haunted house)

“Come on, it’s going to be fun!” Simon insists, tugging Raphael along by the sleeve of his black knit sweater. “How can I believe you when you won’t tell me where we’re going?” Raphael demands, eyebrows raised.

“It wouldn’t be a surprise!” Simon points out.

“Yes, but I don’t mind that. In fact, I would much prefer knowing where you’re dragging me on Hallow-” Raphael begins, but stops when they round a corner and reach the end of a decent-sized line that’s leading up to a house down the block. There are flashing lights and smoke machines set up outside, giving it a much more eerie appearance than any building in the center of Brooklyn has the right to be. Every so often the sounds of screams can be heard echoing out from the house, though no one seems concerned by it.

“No,” Raphael says, shaking his head.

“You don’t even know-” “I know what a haunted house looks like, Simon. And I know they’re absurd.” “Raphael, please. Humor me. This is your first halloween as a-” Simon pauses, lowering his voice what can barely be considered a whisper. “-human.”

“Yes, I’m aware,” Raphael confirms.

“So let me show you how humans celebrate it!”

“I was human before, you know,” Raphael points out.

“Yeah, but that was ages ago,” Simon says, then winces at the pointed look from Raphael. “Sorry. Not that, you know, I’m trying to say you’re old or anything, just-”

“I know, Si,” Raphael cuts off Simon’s rambling. He considers the house in front of him, the eager expressions on the people in line, and the hopeful expression on Simon’s face before relenting with a sigh. “Alright, fine.”

Simon, after all, is Raphael’s biggest weakness at this point. Ever since Raphael became mortal again, Simon’s been on a mission to give Raphael the ‘full human experience’ of everything he’d missed out on in daytime activities, food, and normal traditions that, as a vampire, Raphael either ignored or actively condemned.

When you’re a literal Child of the Night, there isn’t time for haunted houses and trick-or-treating - not when you have a clan of vampires looking for any excuse to try and get away with a little mischief the second you let your guard down. He’s been in charge of others for so long that it’s difficult for him to come to terms with simply living his own life for himself now.

Especially when the time he has left to live feels so horribly limited.

They reach the front of the line and Simon pays the fee for the two of them to go in. It’s mostly what Raphael expected - loud noises and dark rooms with flashes of light timed just right to give glimpses of disturbing props or people in costumes jumping out at you, almost touching but never quite. It’s… better than he expected, if he’s being honest. This is different from the movies, an immersive sense of being on edge that’s quite impressive the longer he’s exposed to it.

Simon clings to Raphael’s arm more than once, pressing close against him and hiding his face at a scare or two, and that’s quite nice, too. It feels good to still be the stoic one, even now. It’s nice to know that even with such a fundamental shift of being human again, Raphael is still, at his core, the same person.

So he reaches out and takes Simon’s hand as they go from room to room, and places himself protectively between Simon and the more predictable scares, and tries to play it cool when he jumps along with Simon once or twice.

“I knew you’d like it!” Simon proudly declares after the first of several physical reactions from Raphael. Raphael’s instinct is to deny it and point out that an instinctive physical reaction that anyone would have means nothing, but he bites down on the words and gives Simon a fond smile instead.

“It’s better than I thought it’d be,” Raphael says, but it’s all he manages before a man with a (hopefully fake) chainsaw comes at him, cutting his words short as Raphael tenses and steps backward, pulling Simon along with him as they flee the room for the next area.

It isn’t until they’re back out into the fresh nighttime air that Raphael has a real chance to say anything about the experience.

“Well,” Raphael says. “You were right.”

“I don’t get to hear that often” Simon says, half-joking. “I’m glad,” he adds more sincerely.

“Me too,” Raphael admits. “You know, I wasn’t sure that retaining humanity was the right decision at first. I’ve known life as a vampire longer than I knew life as a human, even if I was relatively young as far as immortals go. I wasn’t sure I’d know how to go back.”

Simon considers this for a minute, lacing his fingers through Raphael’s as they start to walk back towards the apartment they share. “I don’t think it’s about going back. I think it’s about figuring out how to move forward, just like anyone else.”

“You’re surprisingly insightful when you want to be, you know,” Raphael points out.

“Don’t tell anyone,” Simon says, putting on his ‘fake serious’ face, lips pursing and brows furrowing. “It’ll ruin my comedic side-kick persona.”

“Your secret’s safe with me,” Raphael promises. “Thanks for tonight.” “Does this mean you won’t fight me so much the next time I have a great idea?” Simon asks hopefully.

“Unlikely,” Raphael admits honestly. “But don’t let it stop you from trying.”

“Never,” Simon promises. “Now, let’s see if we can catch the gang at the Hunter’s Moon before they close!”

Raphael doesn’t argue this time, allowing himself to be dragged down the street at a half-run, embracing Simon’s contagious enthusiasm for the night.
