☠︎︎ What is DEAD DOVE: Do Not Eat?

⊹ DEAD DOVE: Do Not Eat is a tag/warning used to indicate that a work contains dark, disturbing, or taboo content that is explicitly presented and not subverted/sanitized. What you see is what you get — and the creator is not inviting moral debate. It’s a warning to the reader that if they proceed, they are consenting to encounter exactly what was tagged.aka: THE DOVE IS FUCKING DEAD

[The phrase originates from a joke in Arrested Development, where a character opens a paper bag labeled “DEAD DOVE: Do Not Eat” and, upon seeing the dead dove inside, says, “I don’t know what I expected.”]

☠︎︎ How do I participate?

⊹ Following the dates and prompts on the prompts list, you may create any DEAD DOVE: Do Not Eat work that you dream up. Works may be fanfiction, fanart, video edits, and more.

⊹ Feel free to create works derived from prior works (ex: adding a new chapter or sequel), but you cannot repost an already published piece. Submissions must be new works created specifically for this event.

☠︎︎ What kind of content can I post?

⊹ 18+ ONLY. This event runs on the honor system — We can’t verify everyone’s age, but we will enforce the rule. If it’s discovered that a minor has posted or submitted NSFW/Dead Dove work, their content will not be shared and will be removed from the collection. No exceptions.

⊹ This is a pro-fiction event. If it’s dark, weird, toxic, disturbing, or transgressive, it belongs here. No subject matter is barred. Be as freaky and fucked up as your heart desires.

⊹ All Archive Warnings are allowed, including CNTW. Just make sure you tag your work appropriately.

☠︎︎ Are collab works, gen works, polyamorous ships, and platonic ships allowed?

⊹ YES! So long as it’s Dead Dove.

☠︎︎ Why wasn’t my work reposted/reblogged?

⊹ If your work hasn’t been shared, send us a DM/ask. We might’ve missed it.

☠︎︎ Can I post my work on other platforms, e.g. tiktok or instagram?

⊹ We likely won’t see it, as the only social medias for this event are what we’ve linked, but go for it! (We may make a TikTok if enough people are interested in creating video edits - tbd)
