[csprompter]

I was just wondering, how is this blog different than the csprompts blog? You can send prompts anonymously there too.

To be honestly nonnie, I’d never heard of the other one so that’s on me. But after a quick look I saw that the last post on that site was was from over a year ago so I’m not actually sure if it’s even active anymore.

I’m not trying to stir drama. Just trying to keep fandom interest up and giving people a place to asks for fics without embarrassment.

FAQ

What kind of artwork is needed for the story?

You can make whatever art your heart desires. Manips, gif or image sets, digital or traditional artwork, it doesn’t matter.

I am not creative at all. Will there be an option of finding an artist via this blog? Yes, of course. We will start signing up artists for those who need one. As this event is completely anonymous you can also do your own artwork but we need to know that (there will be an Email after author sign ups close).

Can I make the artwork myself? Yes, you can! The whole event is anonymous, so when your story is posted, no one will know it’s yours. If you want to make your own artwork, please let us know.

I normally reveal most of the plot in my art, is this okay? It’s completely up to you, but we recommend not revealing too much.

How much time do I have to make artwork for the story?

All authors do have to send us details about their stories by September 1st. This will be the time we will send the artists these details so they can start making art. We need all the art by September 30th.

I don’t have an idea yet. Can I still sign up?

Yes! You don’t need to tell us anything about your story yet. There is just one question in the sign ups about the rating and this one is only required if you are in need of a beta reader.

I already have an idea but what if my muse decides to go into another direction? As you don’t have to tell us anything about your story when signing up, you can change your mind as often as you want. A rough draft of your story, and a summary and some details (for the artist) is needed by September 1st.

I love drama and angst - can I write about these things for my story?

We don’t forbid things for this event except dub/non-con and incest. However, this event shall be a feast for seeing our beloved couple falling in love over and over again, so a happy ending is required. Anything else we leave up to you.

I have absolutely no idea what to write about. Any ideas?

We are already working on a prompt list for you but there are also great prompt blogs out there like @dailyau @is-a-prompt @otpprompts @csprompts @promptsforthestruggelingauthor and others

I don’t want to share my story with anyone before the publication - do I really need a beta reader?

Although we recommend everyone having a beta reader, the answer is no. If you don’t feel comfortable sharing the story with anyone during the working period, we won’t make you. But, you should think about it because a beta reader can not only fix your grammar or spelling errors but they can also help you with plot holes and other things. Great friendships can come from it as well.

I am best at brainstorming with my “crew” and coming up with a story or if I am stuck at some point. Is this a problem?

Well, yes and no. We don’t want you to change your ways while brainstorming, but this whole event only functions when people don’t know about who is behind a story. If you formulate a story with other people, they will know, and the information can slip accidentally. We want to make this event as anonymous as possible. Maybe you can try it on your own this time?

Will there be a schedule to let us know when each story will be posted? Will the author know their date of publication? No, we don’t want people to tell others to “watch out for my story on October 15th” because this will destroy the whole concept behind the event. We will publish each story between October 1st and 30th depending on how many people will sign up. One story a day to give the reader enough time to reblog and enjoy every story.

How will I know when my story will be posted?

You have to visit our blog or at least have your notifications enabled so you will get a notification whenever a new story is published. Please reblog the stories so many people will see them as we cannot tag people in the original post.

I want to participate but I haven’t published anything yet. Can I still join? Yes! In fact, this event is the perfect opportunity! As we publish everything anonymously nobody will know you are a new author, so it doesn’t even matter. We are happy to be a platform where you can spread your talent and maybe gain the courage to get more of your work out there!

I heard of some cases of plagiarism recently - now I am afraid of participating. How will you prevent people from stealing my story if it’s written by an anonymous author?

We totally understand these worries. Plagiarism is the worst. It can happen to any author, it’s very devastating and can really bring down an author’s spirits. Unfortunately, there is always a risk when you share your work with the public, so plagiarism cannot be totally avoided, but the chances of it happening to you can be reduced. Although we want to publish the stories anonymously, we don’t want anyone to feel uncomfortable about it, so you do have the opportunity to choose your own pseudonym to identify you as the author without giving yourself away. Each author will be revealed one month after their publication day, and the moment your name will be revealed you can also post it on whichever site you want.

If I sign up now, can I drop out?

Yes, of course. We all know real life can be a bitch sometimes. We only ask you to tell us if you want or need to drop out (no reasons required) so we won’t plan a date of publication or an artist for your story. All fics must be ready by September 15th, but if you start to feel uncomfortable about submitting your story anonymously, you must tell us before the posting begins.

The fandom is dying, so why sign up at all? Who will be here to read anything I create in the fall? We are positive there will be a lot of us here at that time. So many people still love CS and will love CS in the future, and because of this love the fandom won’t die that easily. There are too many untold stories and too many talented authors and artists out there not to continue!

I am thinking of changing my TUMBLR URL in the next few months. Is that a problem?

No, not a problem at all, as long as you tell us. We will communicate mostly via Email, but we also need to have your current URL for the day we reveal you as the author.

What if I want to sign up, but I don’t want to share my stories with moderators I don’t know?

Understandable. In the sign up form we ask you if you want to know who is behind the event and we also will reveal ourselves after the sign up closes. We don’t want people (not) participating because of the moderators behind the event, but we do understand as authors you might want to know who you’re dealing with and sending your stories to.

I hate writing one-shots. I am not good at keeping stories short, and as much as I try, I always end up having at least a two-shot or a multi-chapter. What if I write my story and end up wanting to continue with it?

We all know this problem, trust us. Some deal with this more than others, but the reason we ask for a one-shot is because we want to give each story the same amount of spotlight time. But of course, you can always add to your story after the event ends. Also, there is no word limit, so you can keep writing as much as you’d like until September 1st.

You are on your deathbed, surrounded by your loved ones. They are attentively waiting what may be your final words. Describe the scene, what you say, and the last precious moments of life. (Or near death for immortal beings, unless you’d like to make them human for the time-frame.)

“At the temple there is a poem called “Loss” carved into the stone. It has three words, but the poet has scratched them out. You cannot read loss, only feel it.”

You may write this in any stye you choose, letter, narrative, story, journal entry, and it can be about your character’s death, and saying goodbye to those around them, or you can write it with your character watching another die. 

It doesn’t have to be in this time frame, you can make it AU if you wish. They can be a different species as well, feel free to experiment. 

Maybe your character dies alone? Maybe they have no one by their side. It’s up to you.

Please tag all prompt responses with “cswc”.
