GUIDELINES
WHAT IS CHOICALE WEEK?
❧ ChoiCale Week (or CHCH Week) is a fanweek celebrating the Choi Han/Cale Henituse ship from Lout of Count's Family. This year, it will be held for seven days from July 2 to July 8, though we will continue sharing submissions until July 23.
WHAT WORKS WILL BE ACCEPTED?
❧ ChoiCale Week will accept various types of fan content including art, fics, Twitter threads, and playlists.❧ The works must focus on the pairing of Choi Han x Cale Henituse. Based on the results of our interest check, "Cale Henituse" can refer to Kim Roksu in Cale Henituse's body, the original Cale Henituse, or Kim Roksu.❧ Reversing the pairing (top!Cale and bottom!Choi Han) is the personal choice of the content creator. However, you must tag appropriately with #choicale or #calechoi on Twitter so that it can be filtered. If a top/bottom pairing is not relevant for your work, you do not need to use these tags.❧ NSFW works are accepted as well. You should tag these with #chchweek_nsfw.❧ Works in languages other than English are accepted. If you write in English or Indonesian, use the official names: Rowoon Kingdom and Lout of Count's Family, for instance. Click here for the list of names from the official translations.❧ You are NOT allowed to use or edit other people's works without their permission. If you draw inspiration from a source other than our prompts, make sure to give credit.❧ Works must be new for ChoiCale Week. However, you MAY update an old work of yours (such as by redrawing a picture or writing a new chapter of a multi-chapter work) as long as it fits the prompt.
PLATFORMS
❧ Based on our interest check, the mods will retweet and host spaces on Twitter; organize a collection on AO3; and have a public Discord.❧ Works can be posted on other platforms, if you would like! Just know that we won't be able to promote your work unless you send us a message or cross-post on Twitter.
TAGS
❧ Consumers are responsible for their own consumption. The following are the tags that will be used for this year’s CHCH Week
#chchweek2023, #chchweek_nsfw, #choicale, #calechoi❧ We recommend filtering out the NSFW tag if you are a minor and filtering out the reversible tag if you are particular about ship dynamics.❧ Creators should also tag responsibly. In addition to the tags above, please use your discretion to tag for any potentially triggering or dark content.
