For Readers, Viewers, & Listeners

Is this a writing community or a fest?
This is a fest. We hope to share a lot of wonderful fanworks with you. Please follow us on Twitter, where we will be promoting our participants' work and hosting Reveals. General announcements will also be posted on Mastodon and Bluesky.

Will mods be screening content?
This is a read-at-your-own-risk fest. Mods will not be screening content. Please read tags and any warning or content notes carefully. Be aware that AO3 writers are allowed to use the "Author chose not to warn" tag—please approach such works carefully. 

What should I do if I come across untagged triggering content?

• If you encounter what you believe to be triggering content that is not tagged or content that violates fest rules, please contact the mods. Mods will mediate with the creator as needed.

• Please do not contact the creator directly.

• Please note that this fest does not have tagging requirements around pairings and top/bottom dynamics. 

• If you simply don't like what a work represents, we ask you to not engage with the work or its creator and simply move on to something that better suits your tastes.

What kinds of comments should I leave? How else can I support creators?

While you're never obligated to leave kudos or comments, doing so is a great way to thank creators for their hard work making free stuff for us all to enjoy. It also encourages them to continue creating, which is good for all of us! Here are some ideas:

• Simply giving kudos or likes is an easy and fantastic way to show appreciation.  

• Comments are love! Even brief comments like "I loved this!" or a simple keysmash (akdjfakld) can make a creator's day.

• If you want to write longer comments: consider telling the creator what you liked, sharing examples of what made an impact on you, or describing how you were feeling. Even if you mean well, avoid unrequested critiques, mentioning what you don't like, or asking for updates, as many creators consider themselves to be amateurs sharing their work for fun (and for free) out of love for BTS and for the community, rather than publishing professional work.

• Subscribing to a work or to a creator (or following them on social media) is a great way to show creators that people are interested in more from them. 

• Bookmarking a work on AO3 can tell a creator that you liked the work enough to want to remember it. (Note that comments on public bookmarks can be seen by creators and anyone else on AO3.) 

• You can retweet or boost creators' social media posts about their work, which helps other community members learn about them.

• We love to see recs! Reccing a work on social media or on Discord helps other people find the fanworks you love and means creators get to enjoy a bigger audience.
