The Basics

Hitman Sapienzanniversary is a prompt fest for the Hitman fandom to celebrate the anniversary of the World of Assassination destination Sapienza on April 26th.

Prompt fills should have a minimum wordcount of 500 words.

What is a prompt fest?

A Prompt Fest is a challenge in which participants can submit one or more fanwork prompts that other participants can choose to fill.

Nominations

The first phase of Hitman Sapienzanniversary is nominations, where you submit the characters, relationships and additional tags that you are interested in writing or receiving in this prompt fest to the tag set. Each person can nominate ten character or relationship tags and 20 additional tags. The tag set is what participants can use for their prompts later in the process.

What fandoms are eligible?

Hitman (Video Games)

Nominations Format

You can nominate characters, relationships, and additional ("freeform") tags.

Nominating Characters

You may nominate named characters that don’t have a tag on the Archive yet. Please use the name order "Given Name Family Name" as usual for Western canons.

Nominating Relationships

You may nominate / or & relationships. "A/B" is a romantic or sexual relationship; "A & B" is a platonic or familial relationship.

Please alphabetise ships by family name.

Prompts

How many prompts can I add?

You can add up to three prompts to the collection. Prompts need to be Sapienza-themed.

Additional Tags

For each prompt you can include up to 20 additional tags from our 2023 tag set. If you’d like to suggest a specific scenario, add it to your prompt’s description.

Try to find the right balance between an interesting idea that gives authors something to work with and a too restrictive prompt.

Characters and Ships

Requests for individual characters can be gen or shippy. You may request a single character and mention in your optional details what scenarios or ships you would enjoy them in; however, a ship is not guaranteed.

If you absolutely want to see the character interacting with a specific other character, make sure to request ship tags — A/B for romantic or sexual interactions, A & B for platonic or familial interactions.

Worldbuilding

If the scenario you're requesting is not based on specific characters or ships, you can request the Worldbuilding "character" in the character tags.

When filling a request with the Worldbuilding character, please don't add it to the character tags!

DNW and Letters

You also have the option to add a link to a letter. These can be very useful to give your writer ideas for possible scenarios. It can also be invaluable for telling them what you do not want at all.

If you have anything you Do Not Want (DNW), it must be in the prompt directly to be enforceable. Authors should respect the Do Not Want list; however, the requester should not abuse it to try and force the author into a corner. Do Not Wants that appear only in an external letter will not be enforced.

Am I guaranteed one (or two, or three) gifts?

No. This is a prompt fest, not a gift exchange. Prompt fills are not guaranteed, but we can work together to make sure everyone gets a gift.

Can I stay anonymous?

You can add your prompt(s) anonymously, but I’d recommend de-anoning before April 25th, to give your author the option to gift their work to you. You don't have to de-anon your prompts if you prefer to stay anonymous.

Prompt Fills

Minimum Requirements

The minimum requirements are intentionally low: 500 words. If you want to write more, you can!

Prompt fills need to include the requested character(s) and character dynamics, as well as the scenario suggested in the prompt. When filling a request with Worldbuilding as a character, please don't add it to the character tags!

The prompt fills also need to be Sapienza-themed. Works need to be newly published for this exchange and created by you.

Posting

In order to post, go to your AO3 claims page and click the "fill" button on your claimed prompt. That will take you to a new-works form with the prompt already tickied. If the prompt you picked was not anonymous (or is not anonymous anymore by April 25th), please gift your work to the person whose prompt you picked. You might need to add the username yourself.

Deadline

There is no hard deadline, but since this is a prompt fest to celebrate Sapienza's anniversary, you should aim for having your prompt fill ready before April 26th.

You may add (more) prompt fills after reveals!

Anonymity

Works are anonymous until creator reveals, the Monday after work reveals.

Additional Prompt Fills

You may claim a prompt that has already been claimed by someone else. Since this is a prompt fest without assignments, please try to also claim a prompt that hasn't been claimed yet, to make sure everyone who participates receives at least one gift.

Be friendly!

Make sure that your prompts and your fanworks do not contain any hostile elements towards people you disagree with in any part of the fanwork (title, tags, summary, author's notes, body text). Refrain from adding DNI ("Do Not Interact") notes.

If you shame or harass other participants, or if there are signs that you have deliberately caused problems in multiple exchanges, the mod will delete your signup.
