Q: Where are the bingo boards/prompts?
A: Board One + Board Two + Board ThreeQ: What type of submissions are accepted?
A: Anything and everything you can dream up! We want to see all of it; your only boundaries are the limits of your creativity.

(Event not liable for any home damage that may occur due to a broad interpretation of the rules.)Q: Are there minimum requirements?
A: Nope! We want to see everything, from the doodle you did on your napkin while waiting for your mozza sticks to the 20K fic you commissioned art for and everything in between!Q: What counts as a fill?
A. Any new creation made and posted during the event is eligible. New chapters of an existing fic/WIP, a rec list including non-event works, or art/edits created for previously published works are also eligible.Q: Where should I post?
A: Anywhere online counts! On twitter, use the tag #slicknslide24 or tag @ofmdslicknslide. Whatever platform or site you choose, make sure you are following any of their guidelines for posting, as well.Q: What counts as a win?
A: There are seven different ways to win, as follows:

Wrote-Or-Died: three bingos
Here for the Alphas: A on the board {example one + example two}

Blackout: all 24 promptsQ: Where do I submit things?
A: When you've finished and posted a work, fill out the Report Fill form. Feel free to also tag us on twitter so we can retweet it! To claim a bingo, fill out the Claim Bingo/Win form.Q: Is there an AO3 collection?
A: Yes! Click here to visit the collection.Q: Can I combine multiple squares in one submission?
A: Absolutely! The more the merrier!Q: Can I cross-submit with other events?
A: Yes! Any and all other events are fair game, as long as they are completed by August 31 (and they allow cross-posting).Q: Can one posted fill count toward multiple bingos/wins?
A: Only if you are submitting a claim for Wrote-Or-Died, Beta Who?, or Blackout.Q: Could you give me an example for the previous question?
A: An author posts one fic using the free space and the prompts alpha4alpha, canon divergence, coffee shop au, and honorifics on board 1. They submit the claim form for a traditional bingo. The author also completes two other bingos, which qualifies them for a Wrote-Or-Died win. In order to claim Wrote-Or-Died, the author will now submit a TOTALLY NEW CLAIM FORM with links to the works that cover all the prompts used for the multiple win.Q: I’m not sure that I interpreted the prompt correctly. Will my fill count?
A: There is no “correctly”. If you think it counts, it counts!Q: I don’t understand all of the prompts.
A: When in doubt, check Fanlore or ask us on twitter!Q: What do I get for participating?
A: The pride of knowing you put something creative out into the world! And also a badge designed based on what kind of bingo/wins you got.
