INTRO
COSMOSFEST is a WJSN-focused fic fest. Our main goal is to fill AO3 with WJSN fanfics and introduce people to amazing fic writers.
HOW IT WORKS
The fest will be divided in five parts: prompting, claiming, writing, posting and reveals. During PROMPTING, everyone can send us fic ideas through the link we will share. Then CLAIMING begins, which is when writers will be able to see all the prompts that were sent to us and pick one of them to write. The writers also have the option to self prompt when the signs up begin. Please keep in mind that claiming will work on a first come first serve basis. **WRITING **period officially begins after claiming closes, lasting until the deadline. During POSTING we will make tweets with all the fics that were submitted to our AO3 collection. The authors will remain anonymous until REVEALS.
