RULES

✷ hongjoong must be the receiver and must not top (unless it's selfcest ⁉️)
✷ you must be 18+ in order to participate
✷ we only accept new works
✷ AI is strictly forbidden, be it for writing, drawing, editing or giving ideas
✷ the submitted works need to fit at least one of the themes (but the themes are broad and open to interpretation)
✷ you can submit works until may 23, the end of the extended deadline

GUIDELINES

✷ open to art, fics, threads and any other creative endeavors
✷ your account cannot be locked in order for us to be able to RT your contribution
✷ there's no content restriction so long as it follows the themes and is properly warned
✷ the relationships depicted must be queer
✷ the themes come with subtheme suggestions but you don't need to do something related to the subthemes
✷ we're not strict in regards to time, so you can consider the day of the theme as starting whenever that day starts in your timezone. mods will be the most active around 11pm and 2am UTC to RT and organize the threads
✷ if you have a contribution but don't have a twitter account and would like us to post, you can contact us on [email protected]ao3 guidelines
✷ if you're joining on ao3, keep in mind the collection is open and unmoderated (except for the cult classic theme, that has its own guidelines below), meaning you need to post only on the day of the theme of your work (or later). since it won't go through mod approval, works will appear on ao3 as soon as they're posted so we ask for everyone's collaboration to keep it organized
✷ to post, simply publish the fic in our collection (the links will be published here and on our twitter account closer to the date). we'll make a promotional tweet for fics whose authors don't make their own, and if you make your own, please follow the twitter guidelines below so we can easily find it to RT
✷ if you made your work a draft, when publishing it make sure to update the date of posting so it shows on the first pages along with new works on the site! otherwise it will be posted with the date of when the draft was created which makes it harder for people to find it outside the collectiontwitter guidelines
✷ if you're joining on twitter you need to post it on the day of the theme (or later)
✷ when posting, mention us (@bttmhjweek) on your work or as a reply to the tweet so we can find it to RT (using the #bottomHJweek tag is an option as well, but works less reliably than mentioning us). in case you notice we missed your or someone else's work, please send us a DM to let us know!

CULT CLASSIC AUTHOR REVEALS

for this theme, we selected a few subthemes that were suggested on twitter and turned them into prompts on ao3. here are the guidelines:
- this dynamic is for writers only. visual artists can still use the broader "cult classic" theme
- don't post prompts! any prompts not created by the mods will be deleted and disregarded
- to sign-up, all you have to do is claim one of the prompts on our ao3 (link below)
- the prompt can be claimed anytime between now and may 10
- there's no limit as to how many times a prompt can be claimed and filled
- these works are gonna be posted on a separate collection (where you're gonna claim them)
- the works can be submitted from may 10 until may 22
- the works on this collection will remain anonymous until may 23, and then they'll be revealed
- you can make a post on twitter promoting your work only after the reveal
