Have you ever found yourself combing through our noble Formula 1 RPF tag and thought to yourself: so much mpreg, not enough abortion? Do you crave seeing your specialest guy between the sterile walls of the omega health clinic? Or do you just wish that more characters would seriously consider abortion as an option when faced with an unplanned pregnancy? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then join us for Formulabortion Fest!

What is Formulabortion Fest?
Formulabortion Fest is a small fic fest focused on F1 works about abortion, run by Amelia @passengerprincipessa and Carp @antspaul. The rules are broad: abortion just has to feature in the fic in some way.
Rules
Works must feature abortion in some manner and center around F1 drivers (past or present) or other motorsports athletes.
All participants, including prompters, should be 18+.
Fics should be at least 1000 words.
Make an effort to tag your work appropriately according to the major aspects of its content. However that looks is up to you; we trust your judgment, just practice good fandom etiquette.
Works must be associated with a prompt. If you are not responding to a specific prompt, you can self-prompt or claim the blanket prompt (the very first in the collection).
Works should be archive locked.
Timeline
Prompting window: Tuesday Nov 11 - Jan 1
Collection open for submissions: Tuesday Nov 11
Submissions Due: Tuesday, Jan 27 11:59 PST
Reveals window: Wednesday Jan 29 - Saturday Jan 31
FAQ
What do you mean by “works about abortion”? Do the characters have to have an abortion on-screen? What if characters discuss abortion, but don’t have one in the end? The fics just have to feature abortion in some way. Abortion should be a theme—more important to the story than just an offhand mention—but abortion does not have to take place in the story. Characters can discuss abortion as an option, deal with the aftermath of one, learn of someone else’s abortion, or have an abortion on-screen in minute detail.
Is this an mpreg fest? Do characters have to be men? Definitely not! If you want to write mpreg, please do; but if you’d like to write about IRL women or rule 63 your fave guy, you are absolutely allowed.
How do I sign up to create for the fest? There is no official sign up for the fest: just submit your work to the collection by the deadline. All updates on the fest's progress will be posted here on our Tumblr.
Is there a minimum length for fics? We’d like to see at least 1k, but if you have a reason to make your work shorter than that, go ahead!
Can I write about other motorsports, such as MotoGP or F1 Academy? Can I include these characters in my fic? Sure! The fic fest focuses on F1, but as long as your work focuses on any motorsport, it is permitted in the fest.
I have an idea for a fic, but I don’t think I’ll be able to complete the entire work by the deadline. Can I upload the first chapter of the fic and update it after the fest ends? Totally. Just make sure that the first chapter meets the requirements of the fest: that it pertains to abortion and motorsport.
For the fest I want to write a follow-up to a fic I’ve already posted for the fest. Can I do that? Yes, just associate the new fic with the Ao3 collection.
I’m an artist/graphics maker/fanvidder/etc. Can I make art/graphics/fanvids/etc for the fest? Absolutely!!! And we would be so intrigued to see what abortion-focused digital media would look like 👀 Post the media to our Ao3 collection, and if you’re cross-posting on Tumblr, tag the fest's blog so that we can reblog it!
Will works still be anonymous when the collection is revealed, since the collection is anonymous? We will de-anon works as we reveal them during the reveal window.
What if I want my fic to remain anonymous? Just add it to the anonymous collection, as you would any other work that you’d want to anonymize, or let us know that you don’t want us to reveal the author.
How do reveals work? The reveal window is over three days: Thursday Jan 29 through Saturday January 31. We’ll reveal works in three batches, one per day. We’ll decide once all works are submitted which fics will be revealed each day. We’ll aim for a good mix of genres and ships when deciding when works will be revealed.
Are there any content restrictions? Nope! As long as the work pertains to motorsport and abortion, and it’s tagged appropriately, there are no restrictions on prompts or fest works.
