🧛‍♂️ GUIDELINES 🧛‍♂️

There are two parts to the horror fest: treat bags and communal feast. You may participate in one or both events
Works must focus on Steve and Tony's relationship, whether it's platonic or romantic, and must be horror-related
There is NO minimum work requirement or limit to how many works you can submit
All fanworks are allowed such as but not limited to art, fanmixes, fanvids, fics and other creative writing such as poems, filks, graphics/edits, gifsets, manips, meta, mood boards, music, podfics, rec lists, and web weaving. If you're participating in treat bags, please keep your giftee's likes, dislikes, and permissions in mind
All ratings and universes are allowed
Gifts must be new works made for the event
Prompts/gifts cannot be based on existing fanworks unless the creator has granted permission in their transformative works statement. If you're unsure whether the statement covers the work or you can't find a statement, ask the creator. If the creator is a treat bag participant, please use one of the contact methods in the last guideline bullet. I'll contact them so you can remain anonymous
Keep your gift a secret until after reveals happen. How secretive? See the FAQ
You can scare Steve and Tony as much as you want. You can even make them cry. However, please be kind to the person making/receiving your gift!
Please read the FAQ before participating. If you have any questions after reading this post and the FAQ, email stevetonyhorrorfest@gmail.com or send an ask/DM via Tumblr or DM via Twitter

🍭 TREAT BAGS 🍭

FAQ | Sign-Up Post | AO3 Collection

Instead of giving and receiving Halloween candy, give/receive fanworks and non-fannish goodies. You're not too old to trick or treat though you must be 18 or older to participate in the treat bag event!

Receiving treats
Fill out this form with your likes and dislikes. You can be as general or specific as you'd like about what you want, but make sure to include horror-related wishes. Other than submitting the form, you don't need to do anything else although you're welcome to fill other people's treat bags (nice but not required).

Giving treats
You do not need to sign up to give treats. There are no requirements for fills, other than being horror-related (unless the recipient requested something that isn't horror in their "non-fandom requests/anything else" section) and avoiding the recipient's DNWs. Treats can be anything, whether they're fanworks or non-fandom presents. All fanworks are allowed such as but not limited to art, fanmixes, fanvids, fics and other creative writing such as poems, filks, graphics/edits, gifsets, manips, meta, mood boards, music, podfics, rec lists, and web weaving. Please keep your giftee's likes, dislikes, and permissions in mind.

Once the treat bags go up, anyone who wants to drop a treat can do so by leaving it as a comment in a participant's treat bag post.

AO3 works: If you post your work on AO3, please follow these instructions:

add it to the event AO3 collection (when you post a new work, go to the "Associations" section, type "stevetonyhorrorfest" next to "Post to Collections / Challenges," and click the collection once it appears. You can also add it by going to the collection page and hitting the "Post to Collection" button)
mark it as a gift if the recipient is on AO3 (when you post a new work, go to the "Associations" section, type the recipient's AO3 account, and click it once it appears)
**either include the work itself or include the link to the AO3 work in your comment in the recipient's treat bag.** Whatever you prefer, we want all gifts to be in one place so please don't post only to AO3! Think of the treat bag as a master post for the recipient

On Halloween (October 31), all gifts and their creators will be revealed. Remember to keep your gift a secret until then!

🎃 COMMUNAL FEAST 🎃

FAQ | Prompt Submissions | AO3 Collection

The communal feast event is open to all ages and does not require sign-ups. Similar to

cap_ironman 's Community Gifts event, everyone is welcome to submit prompts anonymously here and once the list goes up, anyone can create fills based off of the prompts as gifts to the Steve/Tony community rather than a specific individual. On Halloween, we’ll all gather to feast on the shared gifts.

Submitting prompts
You can submit as many prompts as you'd like, but each one needs to be a separate submission

Prompts must be horror-related
Prompts can be any rating, but if it's NSFW, please check the NSFW box on the submission form. For more info on whether something is NSFW or not, read the guidelines at the top of the form. You can only submit explicit prompts if you're over 18
Written prompts and prompts that are links to images, other text (e.g., poetry, articles, quotes, essays), music, and videos are welcome
Written prompts can be as short as you want, but they must not go over two paragraphs
Prompts cannot be existing fanworks unless the creator has granted permission in their transformative works statement. If you're unsure whether the statement covers the work or you can't find a statement, ask the creator directly
Example prompts can be found in the FAQ

Filling prompts
There are no work requirements for fills other than being horror-related. Once you finish your fill, submit it to the event AO3 collection by clicking the "Post to Collection" button on the top right corner of the collection page. Otherwise, when you post a new work, go to the "Associations" section, type "stevetonyhorrorfest" next to "Post to Collections / Challenges," and click the collection once it appears.

You can fill as many prompts as you would like
Making multiple fills for a single prompt or combining multiple prompts for your fill is okay
It's up to you how much you want to follow the prompt, whether it's faithful to the prompt or only loosely related to it
All fanworks are allowed such as but not limited to art, fanmixes, fanvids, fics and other creative writing such as poems, filks, graphics/edits, gifsets, manips, meta, mood boards, music, podfics, rec lists, and web weaving
As we're a multilingual, global fandom, fills can be any language
While everyone is welcome to fill prompts, you must be over 18 to fill NSFW prompts
Please include the prompt in the summary or author's note. If you don't want to spoil the audience, you can put it in an author's note at the end of the work
Remember to keep your fill a secret until all gifts are revealed on Halloween!
