Intro & Rules || FAQs || Prompt Tables || Claim Post
Below are any question you may have. If I haven't answered your question below, just comment below and I'll happily get back to you.Q: Can I claim an original character or use an OC with my claimed character?
A: OC's are welcome as a claim, but keep in mind that you are picking one of your original characters and then pairing them with ten others. Whether this is ten other OCs or ten random fandom characters with your OC. However, if you claimed a fandom character, ie Malleus Draconia from Twisted Wonderland. You may only use an OC once for his ten ships.
Q: I've made my claim, do I have to stick with them for the whole table?
A: Yes. That is the whole point of the comm. You've chosen your character and they must be in each work.
Q: Is there a min/max for how long a fic needs to be?
A: There is no maximum word limit. However, your fic should be at least 100 words.
Q: How about art?
A: As long as its a clean sketch or outline, you can go as crazy with your artwork as you'd like.
Q: Is there a deadline?
A: Nope! This is a low pressure comm. You create work at your own pace.
Q: Do I have to create things in the order of the prompt table I chose?
A: Again, nope! You do them as you're inspired. You can post them one by one in any order or everything all at once. Whatever works for you.
Q: Can I create my own table?
A: Yes! There is a blank table in the prompt list for you to use if you want to make your own table with the prompts provided. If you have ideas for other prompts let us know!
Q: Do I need to wait for a reply before I can start posting?
A: Nope! Since we're allowing multiple claims of the same characters, once you've submitted your claim you can start posting whenever you're ready!
Q: Does the prompt word have to appear in the work?
A: Nope! You can use the prompt as literal or loosely as you want. The prompts are just there to inspire you. Let your imagination run wild, my friend.
Q: Does my work need to be new? Or can I use something I've made before?
A: All works should be new and created after your claim.
Q: May I post my work elsewhere?
A: Of course! You aren't limited to just post here. You can post them wherever you'd like, it's your work.
Q: Are crossovers allowed?
A: Hell yeah! If you want do some crossover ships for your character feel free!
Q: I don't see my tags, did I do something wrong?
A: XD don't worry. I probably added your tags and they aren't showing up. If I am missing something just let me know!
Q: Can I do multiple claims?
A: Sure! If you want to claim multiple characters, you are more than welcome too. We just ask each character gets separate tables.
example: You want to claim Aerith Gainsborough and Makoto Kino. Aerith should be claimed with table A while Makoto is claimed with table C.
Q: Can I use multiple prompts for one fic?
A: So, this is an interesting question. The simple answer is no, you can't as the point is to make ten works for ten ships with the character of your choice. However, if you've made multiple claims, then yes.
example: You've claimed Aerith Gainsborough and Makoto Kino using tables A and C. You may do a Aerith/Makoto piece that includes a prompt from table A and a prompt from table c and have that one piece count for those two separate prompts.
Q: Can I drop my claim?
A: Of course, just reply to your original claim and let us know. We don't need a reason, we know life happens. Even with no time limit, if you want to drop your claim, you can.
Q: Does my work have to be romantic?
A: Nope! While the title of the comm may be 10 true loves, they do not have to be romantically involved. If you want to do familial love or friendships or romantic love, that's up to you. You may also do enemies.
Q: Are Polyships allowed?
A: Yes they are! If you already paired your character A with character B for one work and then with character C in other, you may do character A/character B/character C with a third prompt.
Q: Is crossposting with other fic challenges okay?
A: Absolutely! If you have a prompt from another challenge that also goes with one of our prompts it's perfectly fine to combine those prompts and crosspost.
Q: Would selfcest be allowed as one of the ships?
A: Yes it is! Whether its the character learning to love themselves or literally shipping the character with themselves, both are okay to use.
(Added 1/7) Q: Can I post only to AO3?
A: If you don't want to use the table and post your work instead to AO3 only, that's fine. Just remember to post the works to the community as well. Or you can ask when you make your claim and we'll host your table on the community.
