❓Summer of Bones? Papyly? Sansgust? What???
Summer of Bones is the name for the combined events of Papyly and Sansgust, so all the information can be found in a single place instead of having to check out different accounts. Papyly is a Papyrus-centric event taking place in July, where participants pick writing prompts to complete a bingo card. While we no longer host a raffle at the end of the event, complete enough bingos with your fellow participants and you'll reveal a special secret!!
Sansgust is basically the same event as Papyly, but centered around Sans and taking place later.

❓What kind of prompts are there?
We have over 100 prompts in total and there is enough variation that all the participants should find one they’ll enjoy writing for. Some are fluffy, other naughty, and we also have angsty ones. Popular tropes, a single word, detailed or very broad, we can assure you that you will get inspired!!!
❓Which ships are allowed? What if I’m not interested in any ship?
For Papyly: Papcest, Papyrus/Reader, Papyrus/OC, solo Papyrus, or Papyrus’ platonic relationship with his friends. The focus of the fic should be Papyrus.
For Sansgust: Sanscest, Sans/Reader, Sans/OC, solo Sans, or Sans’ platonic relationship with his friends. The focus of the fic should be Sans.
AU versions of Papyrus and Sans are more than welcome!!
❓So no fontcest? No Sansby? Papgore?
There are other events and ship weeks dedicated to or that allow other popular ships (fontcest, Papby, Sanster, etc…), and we would like this event to focus on showing love to the allowed ships mentioned above, so not this time, no!
❓If the event is 18+, does that mean that I must write NSFW content?
Absolutely not! The event is 18+ because we mods aren’t comfortable hosting an event with minors present, but that doesn’t mean that we don’t enjoy gen or SFW fics! So you can write SFW, NSFW, or even dark and Dead Dove Do Not Eat fics during the event! Whatever the rating you choose to write for, just remember to tag everything accordingly!
❓I’m not good with words and I don’t write, can I still join the event?
Unfortunately, the discord server will only be open to participants at this time, but feel free to follow our accounts to get updates and see reblogs of the participants’ works! We also have 2 dedicated AO3 collections for both Papyly and Sansgust, so you will be able to easily find the fics written for the event, as well as past entries! This year we will be posting the 100+ prompts on social media so that even non-participants can have a crack at the prompts, no matter what format they choose!
❓What do you mean by ‘bingo card’?
NEW!!! Our new rules allow participants to customize (to some extent) their own bingo card with their favorite prompts from our list. Write enough prompts and clear your bingo card to reveal a surprise! Learn more about it in our discord server.
❓Weren't there tickets and a raffle before? What happened to those?
This year, we will not be working with a ticket system, and as such there will be no raffle at the end of the event. Instead, we have a different reward system we hope you will love! But it is still a secret! 🤫
❓Who’s in charge of the event?
At the moment, our team consists of 5 mods: Cognito, LB, MsMK, Anjel and Meatus. Find more about our mods here! 👉🫶
❓When you say that you are going to ID check participants, what does that entail? Do we have to send an ID somewhere? I don’t really want to show my face…
ID checking participants means that a mod will look at an official, valid ID to check if the participant is indeed 18+. The ID can be a state identification card, passport, driver’s license, etc… anything that shows a date of birth. Any other sensible information (face, name, address, etc…) can be blurred or hidden, and once the mod has checked your ID, you’ll be allowed to delete the picture from the convo on discord. All ID checking will be done through DMs with a mod (don’t be afraid to request to be ID checked by a specific mod that you are comfortable with!), NOT in the event’s server.
You do not need to get IDed again if you have already done so for another 18+ server/event a mod is in (previous Papyly/Sansgust events, the Gyftmas event, any zine that mod Cognito was a part of, etc…)
