The mods will be checking the tags on Saturdays and Sundays, and retweeting your entries then. 5th December is the last date for submission.

When can I post my entries for the event?
All dates and times when you post your entries can be according to your time zone.

What language/s do you accept for the entries to this event?
The language that you post on twitter or ao3 can be any language, but the moderators of the event will be using English to communicate. But the event is not limited to English, any Xicheng fan contribution is welcome.

My fic isn't completed yet. Can I still submit it for this event?
You can post an unfinished fic on twitter or ao3, and complete it after the event, or even after 5th December (late submission deadline of the event).

Can I go with any interpretation of the prompts?
About the prompts, as you can see in option 3, we have put the word or sentence in quotes. Basically, you can either use the idea behind the quote or whatever the quote inspires you to write. Or you can also use the entire quote in your fic/art (whatever content you are creating)

Prompts can be used in any way that you want. For example, Animal AU can include anything from pets to shifters to hybrids etc. Whatever comes to your mind when you read the prompt.

What settings are allowed in this event?
The prompts can also be used in any setting, you do not have to stick to canon, it can be modern au, or anything else you wish.

There are multiple prompts and some are phrases, some are words. How could I go about using them?
You can also use any combination of prompts, for example all prompts or just one from Day 1. Some prompts in Day 2 and 3 have two words, like childhood/de-aging, you can either use them together, or just one of them.

You can use one prompt from each day in your fic as a whole or in different chapters, or whatever content you are creating.

Where are you holding this online fandom event?
This event will be held on twitter, but if someone who is not on twitter wants to participate, they can participate in the ao3 collection which will be titled “XichengStorm.”

I have other questions. Where could I direct them?
