Bonus Content Announcement & Submission Guidelines

[shy_of_reality]

We're happy to announce that because we have so many awesome prompts left over from claiming (over 130), we are going to have a bonus content part of the fest.

Any stories and or art that are submitting under this section will be posted after the last official story/art piece is posted and before the master list is posted. It is open to anyone (including those signed up for the fest who decide to write/create a second piece).

All of the prompts that are not marked as claimed (or blacked out on the spreadsheet) are open and there are no restrictions regarding how many times they can be chosen. Links to all of the prompts can be found on this Prompt post.

If you're interested in this, please comment below and let us know. NO SIGN UP REQUIRED!

Please note that all stories/art for this section must be in our inbox no later than August 1st (unless prior contact is made with us regarding an extension).

Below the cut you will find our modified submission information. (Submission information for people who signed up through claims can be found on this post.)
