hihi! when we use the term off-season we're referring to the period that comes after the fest's round is over and before a new round begins! during off-season, mods are on "holiday", but writers can select any of the prompts left over on the archive and still publish a fic! during this time, there's no sign-ups, no claiming process, no possibility to submit a new prompt or a self-prompt, nor reveals (though mods do repost promo posts ^^) however! since round #3 has started, for example, our "off-season" collection is currently closed! but if you're interested in checking it out, you can find it here
