Rules


General

1. All works must contain JIMIN x ANOTHER BTS MEMBER as the main pairing.
      No endgame original characters or crossovers with other idols. No y/n in any form.
      Poly ships are allowed.
2. All works must feature bottom Jimin and stay within the Dead Dove theme.3. Participants must be 18+. Anyone found breaking this rule will be banned.4. All works must be original and never published before. Please do not submit continuations of ongoing works.5. Plagiarism and any use of AI is strictly forbidden.6. Submitted works must be tagged properly, including with all relevant warnings, or they will not be accepted into the collection.

Restrictions: explicit underage sexual content, pedophilia, and grooming are not allowed to be depicted on page in any capacity. References to past events are allowed, so long as they are not featured in the work in any detail.

Prompting Rules

1. Each person may submit up to 10 prompts. Please do NOT create multiple accounts to get around this rule. Any prompts over 10 will be removed.2. Prompts must fit the theme. Prompters must specify trigger warnings/content warnings either in the tags or list them somewhere in the prompt itself. Prompts that do not have obvious warnings of the content contained in them will be deleted.
     We recognize that not everyone is comfortable with every trope under the Dead Dove umbrella.
       It is for this reason that we ask prompters to tag or list warnings, so that creators can easily navigate the prompts without worry.
3. While prompts must specify bottom Jimin, Dom/sub and other power dynamics of any kind are welcome and encouraged.4. Be sure to include Do Wants and Do Not Wants. Due to the nature of the fest, it is highly encouraged to include a list of DNWs if there are certain topics or tropes that may be triggering to you that you do not wish to see should your prompt be fulfilled.5. Try to keep prompts from being too specific or limiting. This ensures that writers have the creative freedom to work with your prompts as necessary. If your prompt is too detailed, you may be asked to alter it, or else it will be removed.6. Any prompts that do not adhere to the fests restrictions will be deleted.

Claiming Rules

1. Each participant can claim up to 2 prompts, including 1 self-prompt.2. You may claim a 3rd prompt only after submitting one completed work.3. An option for self-prompting will be added at the end of the prompting period. Each participant may only claim this once.4. Prompts can only be claimed once, on a first-come, first-serve basis (excludes self-prompt). Artists do not have to claim on AO3.5. The claiming form must be completed within 48 hours of claiming on AO3, or the claim will be deleted.

Writers' Rules

1. All works submitted to the collection must have a minimum word count of 3k. WIPs are allowed, so long as the first chapter meets the minimum word requirement.2. Works are due September 20. Extensions will be granted, no questions asked. Please reach out at any point if you feel you will need one.3. A drop-out form will be available. Should you need to drop out for any reason, please fill out the form as soon as possible.
      Mods will not contact you after you have submitted the drop-out form unless otherwise specified.
4. Submitted works must be properly tagged with all applicable archive warnings, triggering topics, tropes, or themes. Works must include the “Dead Dove: Do Not Eat” tag.
     If tagging something will spoil the story, or the tags still don’t appropriately cover what the fic contains, then an additional,
      full warning in the author's note (beginning or end) MUST be included.
5. Creators are required to strictly adhere to any DNWs in their claims.
      Any submissions that include content listed within the prompter’s DNWs will not be accepted.
6. In the event that a creator has a question about their prompt, mods will do our best to contact the prompter for clarification, though no guarantees can be made.
