Hi! Will there be a new edition of the slickfestival this year? I couldn't participate last year and I'm excited for the next edition. 💜

Hello! Is there a deadline for off-season fics to be finished and submitted to the collection?

hi! I was just wondering if we will be able to claim unclaimed prompts from round two to write for round three! thank you!
hello! yes, you will!
last year we had unclaimed prompts from round 1 in an archived database so people could self prompt them, but it seems that they may have been difficult to locate and that a lot of people didn’t know this was an option. we’ll work hard this year to find a way to make it clearer, either by including them in the main prompt databases or by linking the archive in a more accessible area!
we will have more specific instructions closer to the prompting/claiming period ☺️ thank you!

will there ever be the author guessing leaderboard? or did i miss it ;( i don’t think i ever saw it come out
Ω slickfester · 4mo
if we ask for it, can we know who guessed a work as ours in the fic guessing game? 🙃🩷
the stats we send for author guessing are the number of correct guesses, the number of incorrect guesses, and the other authors that were guessed for your fic. but we do not say names for who sent the guesses in!
if you’ve already been revealed and you’d like your stats, please send us a dm or email ^^ thanks so much

hello my dearest slickfest mods! has there been a decision made regarding the date of the author reveals? all in one go? split? if you already announced this, i'm sorry, i might be blind haha...

hi! was the fic from today deleted on purpose and will it be reposted?
hello! the fic dirty laundry, revealed today, was removed due to use of ai when editing a portion of the fic. we have addressed it with the author, and they have proven to us that other than proofreading, it was entirely human-written (by way of their doc history). after careful consideration by the mods, we decided to remove it from the collection, since we do not tolerate the use of ai in works for our fest in any way. we will not be revealing the author or taking any steps beyond removing it from the collection, as we believe we have handled it in accordance with our fest’s guidelines and done what is within the scope of our responsibilities as mods. thank you for your understanding! and we apologize for any confusion or inconvenience.

hi mods! i have a question regarding the off-season, since there's no claiming, two people could end up writing and posting the same prompt. is that a problem?

Hi Slickmods, I’ve run into a problem! (Sorry if there are any incoherences, English isn’t my first language.)
Basically, when I search for a specific prompt code in Notion, the results don’t match what they’re supposed to correspond to.
Let’s say the author writes a slice-of-life based on their claimed prompt, they give the code in their notes, but when you search the code in Notion, something totally different shows up instead, like a Royal AU or something. A whole other plot basically.
That if it shows up at all! Most times they don’t even appear in the search results even though I know the prompt exists, since the authors always include the prompt code in their notes.
Also another issue, when I open a claimed prompt in Notion, one that has an already published fic, the fanfic isn’t linked in the work section like it should be.
Please help! Thank you! 😞🫶
hi! first, about the prompt codes, unfortunately the mods weren’t able to figure out what the problem is because none of us were having the same issue from our end when viewing the masterlist logged out. please make sure you are viewing the right database (there is an “unclaimed” and “claimed” version), and also we’d recommend trying to search by just the number (e.g “000” instead of “A000”) instead of the full prompt code. if the search function is giving you trouble you can also use the filter option, so filter for prompt code, change it to “prompt code is” and type the prompt code in there. it should work! if you (or anyone else) are still running into issues with the ML please let us know!
second, fics are not linked in the prompt masterlists! if you want to find written prompts + the link to their corresponding fic, it’s formatted that way on our weekly reading lists. you might also have better luck searching the prompts there but we don’t post them until the end of the week.
i hope this helped a bit!! since we didn’t have the same problem i’m assuming it might just be notion acting a bit buggy unfortunately :c but please try again and let me know if the problem persists! thank you for your question!!
