[Mod-Post] Please put questions, suggestions, statements here:

If you find you have a problem, a questions, or a suggestion for the com- then this is the post you reply to.

I shall try to answer you to the best to my abilities, and I am always open for discussions.

The plan for this post is to help me to figure out if there is need for, and if yes how to put together a FAQ in the long run, but for that I need FAQ first, so please, ask away!

However, if you find yourself with a question, that you don't want to ask here "in the open", but still need an answer too, feel free to pm this mod account- and i will get back to you via pm too.
Also if I have managed to do everything right, anonymous comments should be allowed.

This may have been answered in the previous post but if I were to make a prompt and the pairing was, let's say: Harry/Scorpius, would the era be decided by who is currently at Hogwarts (i.e. Scorpius, or Scorpius having just graduated let's say) or would it be the 4th category which I think was for "cross-gen"

I'm excited about this as it's not a fest style I've seen before and I'm looking forward to all the juicy feels!! I have a few suggestions.

Maybe Slash/Gen/Het/Fem rather than the eras would be simpler? It's more straight forward and I think there's more people out there who will be looking to write for a certain gender dynamic than for a specific era combination. As someone who writes only slash but has very few off-limit pairings, I will have to read all prompts on every post to find the one I like best. So slash/gen/fem/het potentially means people would have less to sift through to find a prompt that suits them?

Also I personally find the prompt template a bit OTT. It felt a bit more like I was filling out a gift template than a prompt. For me, the point of prompting is to inspire someone to do something with an idea that I wouldn't have thought of, so being too specific with do's and don't's is rather counterproductive. That might just be me though!
