General Rules

SIGN UP FOR THE DESTIEL HARLEQUIN CHALLENGE HERE.

We will only be running the multi-genre Mega-Bang in 2021. Artists are required to make at least two pieces of art to submit, while writers will write a minimum of 15,000 words for the challenge based on the summary (or summaries) they have claimed. We offer seven major genres of Harlequin romances for participants to pick their favorites from - BDSM/Kinky, Suspense, High Fantasy, Urban Paranormal, Contemporary/Modern, Historical/Regency, and Sci-Fi.

Requirements for Both Artists and Authors:

 * All participants must be over 16 years of age to participate.
 * If you are under the age of 18, you may not write any explicit content (fics must be rated Teen+ or lower; art cannot include exposed genitalia or other NSFW content). Participants under 18 may not claim summaries from the BDSM/Kinky category. No exceptions.
 * If you are collaborating with someone under the age of 18, you may not work on explicit content, even if you yourself are over the age of 18.
 * Since this is a Destiel challenge, your main focus has to be on Dean Winchester and Castiel ONLY as endgame. Side-pairings, multiships, and OT3s are okay so long as they are Dean/Cas focused, are appropriately tagged, and are not the endgame/concluding ship. If in doubt about the focus of your fic/art, please contact the mods.
 * You may sign up as both artist and author, but you may claim only one summary for each role. Alternatively, you may choose to do both art and fic for the summary.
 * If you’re having trouble meeting the open posting dates or have any other issues, please get in touch with the mods! We’re nice. :P You can reach us on Tumblr (@destielharlequin), Discord, or by e-mail: Mailto:destielharlequin@gmail.com destielharlequin@gmail.com.
