Event brief:

1. Participants will join a Discord server to participate in the event.

2. Participants will complete a signup form, stating their requested prompt in the process. The prompt must be MCSR-related.

3. Participants will go through a claims stage in which claims open at the optimal time (we will ask for time zones in the signup form). Claims will be on a first come first served basis, and you will be asked to list several prompts you'd like to fulfil in case you do not get your first choice. This will be done through another form.

4. Mods will contact participants to tell them their final prompt. Please ensure you have DMs open so we can do so. If all your prompts have been taken, we will have to ask you to choose another (we will be removing taken prompts from the claims spreadsheet so you can see).

5. As soon as all prompts are taken, or as soon as the set start for the creation period begins, participants are free to begin working on their gift. Writers should have minimum 1k words and artists at the very least a coloured piece (doesn't have to be rendered). Please maintain anonymity at this point as we would like the gifts to be a surprise!

6. If at any point, you feel you are unable to keep going with your gift, please contact mods so that we can discuss and get a pinch hitter if needed.

7. Once you have completed your gift, we would like you to complete a form to announce you have completed. Then, once posting period begins, you are free to post. At this point you are able to drop anonymity, or if preferred, you can post anonymously. Please tag the recipient of your gift in the post you make/gift to them on Ao3/however you choose to gift!

8. Once posted, another form will come out to ensure you have posted.

Rules:

1. You agree to do your best to produce an adequate gift of either a writing piece minimum 1k or a coloured (doesn't have to be rendered) art piece for your chosen prompt within two weeks.

2. If you are unable to do this, you must quickly contact a mod and inform them so a pinch hitter can be found.

3. As per Discord, Ao3 and Tumblr TOS, you must be at least 13 years old to participate. You must have a Tumblr and Discord account.

4. Shipping is allowed for the event. Please practice typical fandom etiquette - don't like, don't read.

5. Dark, violent or triggering topics must be appropriately tagged.

6. No NSFW content.

7. Major Archive Warnings and shipping are opt-in and this should be respected. Additionally, you must consider the prompt’s DNW and fulfill it as best as you can. Not doing so will result in a ban from the event.

8. No AI generated content.

9. Mods reserve the right to ban mores who cross the line.
