Fests

Process/Schedule
Fests can last anywhere from a day to a week, and occasionally even longer. Generally, the process is as follows: '''
 * The fest is announced several weeks in advance, with all details on focus, theme(s), schedule, etc ready to go
 * Lead-up: During the lead-up to the fest, fest mods promote it and participants use the time to create fanworks
 * The fest occurs
 * Round-up: After the fest is over, mods should provide some sort of round-up or collection listing all works created '''

Multi-day fests
 With fests that last multiple days, it’s common to have sub-themes for each day. This provides more prompts to creators.

Location/Promotion
Most fests these days are located on tumblr to take advantage of reblogging and tags.
