f.a.q.
Q: Are genderbends allowed?
A: Short answer: No. This event is meant to celebrate canonically female characters in BSD, as these characters are often overlooked and brushed to the side. This means works centered on fem!male characters (i.e. femdazai, femchuuya, etc.) will not be accepted.
** You are free to include genderbends or transfem headcanons of canonically male characters in your works, but they should not be the central character(s).Q: Are ships allowed?
A: Yes, ships are allowed - provided they follow the guidelines listed in the rules.Q: Do I have to create something for all seven days?
A: Nope! Feel free to create as much or as little as you want!Q: Do I have to use all of the prompts provided for a day?
A: No, you're free to use just one or combine them as you see fitQ: Will late submissions be accepted?
A: Yes, late submissions will be accepted for up to two weeks after the final day of BSD ladies weekQ: Are m/f ships allowed?
A: Yes, so long as the focus remains on the female character! For example: an Atsulucy fic that focuses on Lucy or a Ranposano fic that focuses on Yosano would be acceptedQ: Are transfem headcanons of canonically female characters allowed (i.e. transfem Lucy)?
A: YesQ: Are nonbinary headcanons of canonically female characters allowed (i.e. nonbinary Gin)?
A: Yes, since this event is intended to celebrate the canonically female characters.Q: Can I post only the first chapter of a work during the week and upload the rest on my own time?
Yes, but the event account will not reblog subsequent chapter promo posts that are made after the late submissions deadline.Q: Can I post works in a language other than English?
A: YesQ: Can I combine prompts from two separate days?
A: Yes, but please post your work on the later of the days. (i.e. if a piece combines prompts from days 2 & 4, post on day 4)Q: Can I create something based off one of the prompts that wasn't selected during prompt voting?
A: The seventh day of the week will have a "free day" option, during which you can post any works that don't fit with the prompts chosen for the rest of the week. You may also take inspiration from the prompts that were not chosen and combine them with any of the prompts that made the final list!Q: Will there be a Discord server?
A: No; the mod does not currently have the bandwidth to mod a server for the event.
