What happens once I've signed up? If you're an author, you can start right away! However, until after claims we do ask that you keep your story a secret so that claims are anonymous. We'll do a check in once sign ups close to check on your progress. What if I'm an artist? Sit tight! You'll need to wait for claims - the very exciting time when we reveal what authors have created. We'll have more info about this further down the line.

What are the requirements for the fest? If you're an author, we're asking for a minimum fic requirement of between 3,000-7,000 words. You may absolutely do more if you wish but your finished fic needs to be at least 3,000. If you're an artist, it needs to be one completed work - this can be art, moodboards, visual edits, video edits, podfics...whatever your mind and creativity will allow! But as always NO AI is to be used in the making of any works.

And if I'm a beta? Also hold tight! Sign ups are open for betas until the fest closes, so feel free to sign up at any time. You'll need to let us know of the best way to contact you as we'll need to reach out when someone is in need of a beta.

Are there any rules? Yes! Be supportive, be pleasant, and understanding. This is a collab event and we want everyone to have fun. As above, no AI is to be used and the works must all feature Hellcheer. Everything else is up to you. We also ask that everything is tagged appropriately when you post.

ANNOUNCING THE 'WRITTEN IN THE STARS' HELLCHEER BABY BANG! 💜🤍

Chrissy and Eddie are meant to be...in any timeline, any universe, any story. That's why we chose this name for our first ever baby bang - and we can't wait to see what you guys create to show all the ways they're bound by fate.

We would like to do something huge for our fourth year (but not as amazing and tremendous as we're planning for our fifth year...more info to come on that 👀) and would like to host a baby bang. What is a baby bang? It's a collaborative event between artists and authors. Instead of a big bang, we're looking to do something smaller, with a word count of 3-7k. We're happy for authors to write more if they choose but we know what life is like! We'd like to try something smaller and more accessible. Sign ups would be from July 1st and you can start working on it right away, if you're an author, and we'd be looking at a posting week in mid December. Art can include anything from traditional art, to video edits, to moodboards to visual edits! As always, we ask for no AI to be involved in any works created.

We're also considering a smaller prompt event at our usual anniversary time, for anyone who can't participate in a bang, just so everyone feels involved! We'll run another poll for this later, if the bang looks like it can go ahead. If there's not enough interest, we'll run a prompt event as normal. I would LOVE to have a bang succeed - I don't know if Hellcheer has ever had one and we've had feedback from people asking for a artist/author collab event so hopefully this can be it! If people would like more time for it, we can easily adjust the timeframel but to start with, we're looking at roughly six months.

It's going to be a very posting-heavy weekend for us here at Hellcheer Anniversary Week! We're starting off with a poll - if you didn't participate in the WIP event this time around, please let us know what would help you take part next time. After that, we'll be posting what our wonderful creators and cheerleaders have been up to for the past few months! And finally, we'll be posting another poll about our upcoming Year Four Anniversary Event. This poll will impact what we do for the event - we'd really like to run something but want to make sure there's enough interest! It's something a few of you requested as a possible future event in your final feedback form so we're really hoping!

Hello, Hellcheers! Well, our first WIP has come to a close but it was a success. Many of you commented how much you enjoyed the event, with the collaboration and making new friends as a high point. We would love to run it again, so please do complete the final feedback form if you haven't already. If you have filled it out, thanks so much! It will enable us to run it much more smoothly in the future with a focus on more structure, communication, and time. As this was a test run, it was much shorter than we'd prefer and I know some of you wanted more time to work on your creations. BUT this one was so short because we have something HUGE planned for year four of our annual event! More details about that soon and we'll be releasing a poll at the end of this week to see what interest there is. A few of you even mentioned wanting this in your feedback forms 👀 so we're very hopeful. But if it doesn't go ahead - don't worry. We'll still have our usual prompt event to mark our four incredible years. Our wonderful @arisque will be handling the artwork and banners for it again and as someone who's seen a small peek, it's going to be fantastic!

Hello, Hellcheers!

It's hard to believe that tomorrow is the last day of our Hellcheer You On WIP event! While we hope you keep creating and maybe even working with your partners, we have to wrap up the official portion to make way for our FOURTH year of Hellcheer Anniversary Week!

A final feedback form will go out on Sunday 8th March and it will be more detailed than the others. We just want some feedback so that if we run this event again, we can make it even better.

Hellcheer Nation has always been great at two things - 1. Making amazing works for Chrissy and Eddie

2. Being a community that offers love and support
