Here's a little snippet of the fic I'm working on for the Shadow Monkeys BigBang!✨ @shadowmonkeysbigbangbang

Hello everyone! 💖

The deadline for artists to submit their priorities has ended, and we are here to bring you a little update!

Thank you so much to everyone who submitted their picks. We've got your choices, and are currently working to assign all writers with artists/mixers/vidders, and ensuring every writer has at least one collaborator.

We will return shortly with more info, so stay tuned and keep an eye out for this blog where we will be posting the next update. Also make sure to check the email you provided on the forms, as this is where we will be sending the info on your collaborators, so you can start working together as a team.

We're still looking for a few more artists to make sure every story gets wonderful pieces of art, so if you're up for it, or maybe willing to do more than one piece, please sign up and join us in this amazing fandom project! ✨

The prompts are in, the pressure is on... Anyway, here's all you need to know, and if there's something that isn't here, feel free to ask away!

OFFICIAL PROMPT LIST:

Monday 28th - Domesticity

Tuesday 29th - Striptease

Wednesday 30th - Insecurities

Thursday 31st - Venomous

Friday 1st - Hands

Saturday 2nd - Tradition

Sunday 3rd - Spa

On submitting fanfiction: If you’re posting via Tumblr - include #hoathemeweek in your tags, as well as the prompt, followed by the day of the week and the date (e.g. #DomesticityMonday28th). You can also include the latter in the title or the body of your post, if you like. If you’re posting via AO3 - essentially the same as above in regards to the tags. Including the prompt in the title or the notes would also be appreciated (but not required). Additionally, you can submit your fic to the official HoA Theme Week collection here. On submitting fanart: Exactly the same as for fanfiction when posting via Tumblr, with the added note that if you’re submitting nsfw material you 1)tag appropriately (you don’t need to tag it #nsfw as that will essentially hide it from all tumblr searches, but do make sure viewers know what they’re in for) 2) hide the fullview under the readmore line, or alternatively, post the full art on another platform and link the fullview in your tumblr post. On submitting other types of fanworks (music videos, collages, playlists, etc.): Pretty much the same thing, honestly, tag it as #hoathemeweek and the corresponding prompt & day, either embed it directly into your tumblr post or link to it from wherever you put it up and voilá! On all of these: Once you’ve done the previously described steps for the type of fanwork you’re posting, use the submit function on this blog to send it to us! I recommend posting it on your own tumblr and submitting to us a post with a link, so we can reblog the original. However, if you’ve only posted on AO3 (or another platform), you don’t need to create a dedicated tumblr post (or even a dedicated tumblr) to submit, you can simply link to it in your submission (just don’t forget to tick the appropriate tags). However, if you’re submitting as a non-tumblr user, remember to include a working email and, preferably, a username on whatever platform you’re using to submit your creation so you can be credited appropriately. When to submit: Ideally, on the day of the prompt. But if you do it later in the week, don’t worry, that’s still ok. Just tag it with the corresponding prompt + day. What NOT to submit: I’m going to make an assumption that most of the lovely people in this fandom have common sense and just want to have fun. In case there are those who don’t, here is a simple guideline:

Don’t submit anything that is offensive just for the sake of offending (content with adult/dark themes is fine, just tag it appropriately).

Don’t spam the submission box (by spamming I mean sending the same thing over and over again. If you’ve got several fanworks, by all means, send them as separate submissions).

Don’t submit things that have nothing to do with the topic at hand (aka. House of Ashes Theme Week, its prompts, the House of Ashes fandom).

If that’s all good with you, good luck and have fun!

What exactly is a theme week?

It’s an event where artists and writers make creations based on prompts, and post/submit them on the days that correspond to said prompts.

Do I have to register to participate?

No registration will be necessary, anyone who wants to participate can do so.

Do I have to commit to the entire week?

Absolutely not! You can post as many submissions as you like, for as many of the days of Theme Week as you like.

How will I be able to submit my creation?

Use the submit function to: either submit a post or send us a link to your own tumblr post so we can reblog. Don’t forget to tag your post #hoathemeweek so it’s easier to find!

What kind of fanwork will I be able to submit?

Any genre (fics, digital art, traditional, vids, collages, etc) is good, as long as it’s something that can be posted.

How many fanworks can I submit for this event?

As many as your heart desires, for any/all of the prompts involved.

Are NSFW submissions accepted?

Honestly, being the happy bunch of horny feral rats that we are, we’re looking forward to any kind of smut/erotica/porn. We only ask that 1) you tag responsibly 2) if your art is nsfw, post it with a preview, and hide the full view under the cut/read more. Alternatively, you can put it up on a different platform and simply link it in your Tumblr post.

What are you going to do with all the fanworks submitted for this event?

Reblog them, tag them, and link to them in a single post so they can be displayed for everyone’s viewing/reading/listening pleasure.

I love this track.
