The gate to add prompting is officially closed and Claiming is now open!!!
There have been some amazing ideas added to this fest, and now’s your chance to claim them! Before you head over to ao3 here is a reminder of some our most FAQ regarding claims
Can multiple people claim the same prompt? Yes! Don't worry, that's not a bad thing. People will often take a similar prompt in wildly different directions. More cake, you know? If you are a creator and see that someone already claimed a prompt you're interested in, please don't let that stop you from also claiming it.
Having said that, if you have claimed a prompt that you no longer think you can/want to fill we recommend dropping it, incase others are holding off on picking a prompt that has a claim attached.
Can I claim my own prompt? Absolutely! We know you might have an idea for the fest and submitting your own prompt to claim is a great way to make that happen. We'll also have a sort of "freebie/catch-all" prompt that's vague and you can claim it to submit a work that doesn't fit any of the other prompts (but still fits within the theme of the fest).
What if I have an idea that hasn't been prompted? You have two options. One, you could submit your own prompt and claim it. If you're not comfortable doing that or don't want others to have the opportunity to claim your prompt, we'll have a couple "catch-all" prompts for you. These can be used for fics, fanart podfics and filks!
Fan works are due July 12 at 11:59PM EST.  Happy creating!   Claims on Ao3

Prompting opens tomorrow, so start dreaming up some summer-themed prompts! ☀️🍉🍦⛱ 🚲 ⛺️
What does "summer-themed" mean, you ask? It's pretty broad! Anything you associate with summer will do. Here are some examples:
-Steve and Eddie take a road trip together as friends but the van’s AC breaks so they spend all summer wearing increasingly skimpy outfits and driving each other insane
-How Dustin and Suzie met and got together at Camp Know-Where
-Cute girls (Chrissy, Nancy, Vickie, etc) keep coming to Scoops Ahoy and getting Robin flustered. Steve starts his own You Rule/You Suck tally
-The Party goes to the beach expecting a fun, relaxing time, but instead end up having to fight more monsters
-Murray and Alexei enjoy the Fourth of July Fun Fair together and NOTHING BAD HAPPENS EVER
More questions? Check out our Rules/FAQs or send us an ask!

Note
is there a word count minimum or maximum for written works?
Hi!
There is no minimum or maximum length required for submitted fanworks so long as they are complete, whatever that may mean to the author, artist, etc.
Thanks for asking!
