FAQs
What is a WAG?
‘Wife and Girlfriend’ commonly known by its initials WAG is the way used to typically refer to a driver’s female partner.
Do we have to write about IRL wags?
No, the fest focuses on F1 driver ships but turning one of them into a non-driver.
So, it can’t be genderbend?
It can absolutely be genderbend! You are welcome to do it if you so desire, however it is not a requisite.
Are former drivers allowed?
Yes! From recently retired all the way to 1950, as long as at one point they were F1 drivers they are welcomed to the fest. Go write the Fangio x WAG!Moss fanfic of your dreams.
Are drivers from other motorsports, female or male, allowed?
Yes, as long as one of the members of the ship is a Formula 1 driver. (Example: Lando Norris and Carlos Sainz Sr., yes that is the example I’m choosing).
Can we make a non-racing au wag au?
Yes! By all means, you are welcome to change the main sport the character partakes in. For example, you could write a Tennis Player Lewis Hamilton x Monaco Based Youtuber Nico Rosberg.
Does one of the drivers have to be a WAG since the start?
Not necessarily! You are free to decide how the story goes, as long as at some point in the fic one of the drivers is a WAG.
Can I submit a work anonymously?
You can! Please let us know in the sign-up form. Please be aware that a tumblr account is needed to sign up, and mods will see your AO3 account so it is not 100% anonymous, but your participation will be confidential!
Is smut allowed? Is dead dove/triggering content allowed?
Yes! Just make sure to tag and rate your work appropriately once submitted to ao3. This page contains a list of over 150+ common trigger warnings.
Do you love me?
Absolutely I do.
