Rules

These rules are for our discord server but they also apply more broadly to our event. By participating in the event you are agreeing to abide by these principles -

  • This event is for adults only. If you are under the age of 18, and you engage in sharing or discussion of NSFW content with the adults of this server, you are violating their consent. Please respect our boundaries.

  • Don't do an -ism. Please try to be kind and avoid discrimination against others, including those in and outside of the server.

  • No Gen AI. Do not share images, audio, or written content that partially or fully relies on "gen AI" nor promote those that utilise it. We will not accept submissions that utilise gen AI for this event.

  • Ship and let ship. Everyone has their own preferences so please allow others to enjoy ships and dynamics without harassment.

  • Provide links/sources. When sharing works/material that is not your own, please make sure to link to where you found it.

  • Only critique if asked. To make sure server members feel confident in creating/sharing their works here, we ask that critique only be offered if requested.

Event Guidelines

  • There is no set word count or level of detail/difficulty for pieces in this event. You can write flash fiction or a slow burn, or draw a sketch or a fully rendered comic, whatever you personally feel motivated/inspired to do.

  • You may create as few or many pieces for the event as you desire. Whether you only have time for one, you want to create several pieces for a single day, or want to challenge yourself by creating a piece for each, we welcome all approaches.

  • Works should not adhere to strict top/bottom dynamics. Characters topping or bottoming in your event works is perfectly fine, but as this event aims to break free from the norms of rigid dynamics, please make sure to at least allude to a character's other desires/fantasies/or experiences if the work depicts these dynamics.

  • We will accept works depicting threesomes and/or poly dynamics. Just make sure Satoru and Suguru’s relationship is still central in the work.

  • Feel free to depict Satoru and Suguru as any gender. Man, woman, enby, genderfluid, agender, etc, all depictions are welcome.

  • Please label/tag your works/posts clearly. E.g. On Bluesky, please label your NSFW posts; if you’re using AO3, please tag kinks where appropriate and if your work should have a warning at the very least select Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings

  • Please make use of alt text when posting on Bluesky and Tumblr. Especially if you're posting a screenshot of the warnings/tags for your fic.

  • If you post your work or WIPs please let us know! We’re excited to see your work and want others to do so also so if you post on social media please reach out to us so we can share your post with others.
