Brief Note

Please do not link your submission to other collections or series until author reveals on 2/28 as this removes the anonymity of your work.

Spirit of Event Guidelines

Hello again my fellow consent lovers!

The mods just wanted to put forward a couple of additional recommendations/guidelines for your submissions based on some conversations we’ve been having. If you already submitted a work, this is unrelated so don’t worry. (We haven’t begun reviewing them yet.) We just want to make sure that the spirit of the event is very clear for folks. To this end, as you write and submit your works, we would like you to:

- Ask yourself if your submission is in the spirit of this event. Is it a work that promotes positive portrayals of consent?
- Ask yourself if your work is about consent or merely contains consent in some form? We are hoping that readers and writers will be excited about the works submitted because of the consent aspect. Consent should be the kink!
- Please use relevant tags, particularly tags as warnings. (Appropriate tagging does not mean noncon or dubcon. These are still unallowed in this event.)
