- If you want to be Anonymous/your account is private: you can DM/email the art file to us and we can post it for you. For Anonymous fics, post on AO3 as Anonymous, but add it to our AO3 collection.
- If you only have Tumblr but the donor is on Twitter: you can still post it on your own Tumblr, tagging our Gotcha account. You can then DM/email the art file to us and let us know how you would like to be credited. We will then post on our Twitter and tag the twitter donor for you. However, if you are uncomfortable with us posting on Twitter for you, you can send us the link to your Tumblr post with the fanwork and we will tweet the link instead of posting your art file.4. PROMPT ASSIGNMENTS:
•   We will mainly use a Discord server for creators for communications, where there will be announcements, channels to ask mods questions directly, and a link to the prompt assignment spreadsheet.
•   If you don't have Discord, we will send you the prompt assignment spreadsheet via Email/Twitter/Tumblr DM, where you can check the prompts assigned to you. In the signup form, please provide us with an email that you check regularly! If you prefer twitter/tumblr DMs, please have your DMs open.•   Mods will be assigning the prompts, but if there's any prompt we can't find a suitable creator for, we may ping everyone to ask who is interested in the prompt.
•   If you ever receive a prompt you're uncomfortable with or unable to do, please DM/email to let us know ASAP so that we can reassign it to someone else!
•   We will assign based on the info creators gave in the signup form, but please understand we cannot guarantee that everyone will get their fav tropes/ships as it really depends on what prompts are submitted by donors! However, we will do our best to avoid prompts on your Do Not Want list.
•   If you have questions about a prompt: Let us know and we can ask the donor for you. Some donors will also leave unspecified details up to a creator's creative freedom.5. RULES FOR CREATORS:
- No AI-generated art/writing allowed. All works must be fully your own!
- No bigotry of any kind allowed in your works, prompts, in the server or event at any point in time. E.g. prejudice on the basis of ethnicity/religion/gender etc.

INFO FOR DONORS

DONATION PERIOD: July 15th-31stHOW TO DONATE:1) Donate at least 5 USD (or equivalent in other currencies) to a verified Palestinian fundraiser from the list HERE to receive 1 SFW ORV art/fic per 5 USD donated. (You can submit multiple prompts as long as you donate enough to cover, them! e.g. 100USD = 20 SFW fanworks)2) Submit proof of donation i.e. a screenshot of the donation receipt or confirmation email. (Please block out your personal details e.g. full name or bank card.)3) Submit your prompt(s) in the Donor Prompt Form. You can request ORV fanart/fic of ORV characters/ships/platonic dynamics you want to see, as long as it's within our rules.

PROMPT GUIDELINES:

1. BE CLEAR:
- Prompts should be explained clearly so that creators are not confused.
- Do also specify if you want a dynamic to be platonic/romantic/queerplatonic, or any/no preference (however, they must still be SFW and not have dead dove elements).
- For fic prompts: specify if you want canon-verse, no-scenario AU, other AU, post-canon, or any setting. 
2. AVOID OVERLY COMPLEX PROMPTS:
- Max 5 characters in 1 art prompt (to avoid artists feeling overwhelmed)
- *If you ask for kimcom art: please note artists will only be asked to draw max 5 characters and they will not be required to color/render it.

This is because it can be time-consuming to draw 5 characters in the same prompt, we hope you understand!3. SFW
NSFW & dead dove content are not included within the scope of this event due to the majority of our creators preferring SFW prompts and many creators being minors.
•   Romantic ship prompts (e.g. kissing) are welcome so long as they do not go beyond a Teen+/17+ rating and do not have dead dove elements. If you accidentally submit a NSFW or dead dove prompt, no worries, we will reach out to you to ask for a different prompt.
•   We sincerely apologize to anyone who was looking forward to NSFW or dead dove. Mods are simply too busy to run another event, but those interested in content outside of the scope of our event are welcome to organize their own fundraisers to raise more funds!
•   For detailed explanations of our decision regarding dead dove, see here.

4. MULTIPLE PROMPTS:
- If you donate more than US$20 (aka more than 4 prompts): please submit a new copy of the form with Prompt #5 onwards!
- If you want multiple of the same prompt, e.g. "YJH birthday art x 10 slots": no need to fill in the form multiple times. Just fill it in once and explain you want x10 slots of the same prompt.
- You can also choose to donate free prompt slots for mods/creators or fans who can't donate to claim to submit their own prompts.5. BACKUP PROMPTS:
- For prompts that are more complex or have specific/special requirements (e.g. crossovers, very detailed AUs, big cast of characters) - please include a backup prompt just in case creators are unable to fill it!
 •   If requesting art, if you only want specific designs (e.g. the webnovel design by Blackbox-nim only, or the Webtoon design specifically by SleepyC only), please specify in your prompt. You can also upload a reference image.
EXAMPLES OF PROMPTS YOU CAN SUBMIT:
    "Art/Fic - gen, post-canon kdj helps lee gilyoung and shin yoosung with homework"
    "Joongdok fic/art - No-scenarios AU where YJH and KDJ meet on a train when KDJ falls asleep on YJH's shoulder."
   "no preference for Fic/Art - anything with yoohankim kissing"

•   If unsure what to ask for, simply write "freeform" (e.g. "lee hyunsung art freeform") or "anything with dokjoong".
•   You can also donate your prompt slot for free so that others who can't donate can submit prompts too.6. Allow time for our creators to work on your piece! It can take 1-2 months especially if the creator is busy, we apologize.7. No bigotry, discrimination, prejudice or hate speech is allowed in prompts. (E.g. no racism, discrimination against a religion etc.)

FAQ

QUESTIONS FROM CREATORS:Q: Is there a deadline/How long is the time frame for creators to complete their works?You will have at least 1 month to complete your works, the tentative posting deadline is 28 Aug. However, if you need more time, simply let us know and we can extend the deadline for you! We understand a lot of people are busy.Q: I would like to be anonymous/my account is private/I was assigned a donor who is only on Tumblr but I don't have a Tumblr.In any of the above scenarios, we can post the art/fic on our Twitter/Tumblr account on your behalf. Simply DM/email us the art file or fic, and let us know how you would like to be credited (or if you want to be anonymous).
We can also email your work to the donor directly, especially if the donor prefers to be emailed instead of tagged on social media (e.g. the donor wants to be anonymous).Q: Can I make more art/fic if I find that I have more time/availability to do so?Of course! If you would like to get more, or fewer, prompts than you state in the (upcoming) creator sign-up form, while the form is still open (1 - 14 July) you can edit your response in the form. If you would like to make changes after the form is closed (after 14 July), DM us to update us of how many prompts you want to do.Q: Is there going to be a way to filter prompts by genre? E.g. fluff vs angst?If you have strict/specific preferences, please state them clearly in the upcoming creator signup form as we will be assigning prompts based on the info you provide there.The form will ask what kind of prompts you want, and do NOT want to create for. You can list your preferred genres/ships there. You will also be asked to list any triggers/dislikes that you do NOT want to get prompts of at all.While we will do our best to match everyone with a suitable prompt, please note we cannot guarantee everyone can get their fav tropes as it really depends on what prompts are submitted. However, we will do our best to avoid the prompts with content on your Do Not Want list. You can also say no to a prompt you're uncomfortable with, which we will then reassign to another creator.Q: I have not finished reading ORV, can I still join/can I ask for prompts with no spoilers?Sure, you can still join if you read enough of the novel/webtoon to feel comfortable making art/fic of ORV. In the creator signup form we will include a question regarding spoilers, where anyone who needs to avoid spoilers will be able to state which chapter of the novel/webtoon you read until, so that we can take note and avoid assigning you prompts with major spoilers.Q: Any bonuses for large donations? e.g. extra sketches, chibis, fic extra chapter or drabble for a flat donation of $150 and above?Donors can get 1 SFW fanwork per US$5, so if they donate US$150 they can get 30 different fanworks from 30 different creators. Basically, the "reward" for bigger donations is receiving more fanworks.However, if you as a creator would like to go beyond the minimum requirement for prompts from a generous donor, or for any prompt, you can! Some creators in other gotchas have written 7k word fics or a detailed colored, rendered art piece with full backgrounds for even $5 prompts.We set the minimum requirement for creators low to avoid creator burnout, but it is entirely up to creators how detailed you want to make an art piece or how long you want to make a fic. Just be mindful of burnout, if you can't cope with your workload it's fine to keep a piece simple as these are not meant to be commissions, but rather donations for charity.Q: Will we be told how much someone has donated?We plan to send creators a link to the prompt assignment sheet, so you should be able to approximately gauge from looking at the sheet if the donor assigned to you submitted many other prompts, aka donated a large amount.Q: In the event that creators outnumber the prompts, is there any subsequent possibility of running a charity auction for fanworks from the remaining creators?If we don't get enough donations, we will likely extend the donation period until everyone has at least 1 prompt. Mods are too busy to run a charity auction as we have our hands full with ORV gotcha for gaza and other gotchas, but anyone who wants to start a charity auction is very welcome to do so!Q: Will the Creator be able to contact the Donor if they want to clarify any details in the prompt, or will communication be handled by the mods?Generally mods will handle the communications. If you have a question about your prompt or would like to clarify anything, DM us and we can ask the donor for you. As some donors prefer to remain anonymous, or otherwise do not want to be contacted by creators, mods will usually handle communications with donors.

-------------------------------------------QUESTIONS FROM POTENTIAL DONORS/PROMPTERS:Q: Are crossovers allowed?
Yes! We have multiple creators interested in crossovers. The only issue is if it's a fandom that none of our creators have heard of. If it is a fandom that's not well-known, please provide a reference image for art just in case. For fic, have a backup prompt just in case our writers are not familiar with the crossover fandom.Q: Can I use a debit card to donate even if my country doesn't use USD currency?Yes, you should be able to. GoFundMe accepts credit and debit cards of these types: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover. See GFM's info on payment methods accepted for different countriesAnd yes, you don't have to use USD to donate, simply use a currency calculator to calculate the equivalent of US$5 in your country's currency.In addition, some GFMs are in other currencies e.g. Euros, AUD, CAD, GBP or others. If you are from one of those countries, you can choose to donate to one in your currency if available (please ensure the GFM is a verified one on GazaFunds' list). We hope this helps, do DM us if you need any help.Q; Can I submit multiple prompts/Can I donate twice and request both fic and art?
Of course! You can request as many works as you want, just make sure your donation covers all of them :) e.g. You can donate 20 USD (or equivalent in other currencies) to get 2 SFW fics + 2 SFW art or any combination of 4 fanworks.Q: Are prompts of canon ORV characters + OCs allowed?We have some artists who are willing to draw ORV character + OC works if there is a reference/description provided.For art, please help our artists by providing a reference image when submitting your prompt in the prompt form (e.g. you can make your OC in Picrew and Gacha Club, or provide other photo/image references, fancasts, etc, if you have them). For fics, you would have to provide a detailed description and any relevant info about your OC.If there ends up being no creator available to fill your prompt, do have a backup prompt just in case.You might also be interested in checking out other art charity initiatives for Gaza that have artists willing to draw your OCs in exchange for donations to Palestine, such as Artists 4 Palestine, Artists for Gaza Esims.OTHER QUESTIONS:Q: How will this help Palestinians?Palestinians in Gaza are facing a genocide, struggling to survive in horrific conditions. Some families have started fundraisers on GoFundMe for funds to evacuate to safety, for medical treatment, or for basic necessities (e.g. food, water), which have become extremely expensive due to the blockade and much of international aid still being stopped at the border by Israel.Hence, inspired by the original TGCF Gotcha for Gaza and other fandom fundraisers which successfully raised US$50,000 across 20+ fandoms, we hope to encourage more people to donate to Palestinian fundraisers, leveraging the power of fan communities for collective action. Having fanart/fic for donors to claim after donating is simply to thank donors, as well as an extra incentive to encourage as many to donate as possible. It also allows those who are unable to donate to do something to help Palestinians (by drawing/writing to encourage others to donate).Q: Why is it called a “Gotcha”?The mod of the original TGCF Gotcha for Gaza, who started the whole initiative, named it “Gotcha” to sound like Gacha, as prompts are randomly assigned to creators. The rest of the fandoms simply followed suit.
