➮ The word minimum is 1k and the maximum is 5k.

➮ An AO3 account is required, this is where fics will be submitted and viewed.
➮ You can drop-out anytime, just please let the mods know so we can accommodate!

➮ Writers should remain anonymous before reveals. ➮ Sakuya and Ryo are not permitted to be included in NSFW fics or risk getting banned.If a writer wishes to remain anonymous after reveals, please let us know in advance.
➮ Can I write about ships including people outside of NCT? We would prefer if the ships were just Neo-centric, but members from other groups are allowed as characters.
➮ Can I submit art? Yes, the sign-up form has an option where you can sign up as an artist. You then will post your art on the day of Reveals!
➮ I need a beta for my fic, but I don't know how to find one. Do you provide betas? We do! If you need a beta or would like to be a beta, there will be sign-ups every month along with general sign-ups. Please utilize this system if you need it!
➮ Are extensions allowed? Yes, we will grant up to three days of extensions.
➮ If I finish my first fic early, can I submit another one? Sure! If you think you have enough time to finish a second or even a third fic, just let us know and we'll accept it.
