// Facts

What is MVFest?
--MVF is a writing event based on music video aesthetics and themes.How will it work?
--After completing the contact form, participants will receive a DM to their X (Twitter) with five (5) MV options to choose from. They will not have to inform the mods of their choice until the first (1st) check-in.Stories will be posted in the original Ao3 collection alongside our previous round entries.

// Update!

Starting in Round 5, #MVF will now allow a one (1) time MV reroll!
--You can submit one (1) to all five (5) MVs for new ones.
--We're grateful for your feedback on this matter and want to let you know we listened!

What’s so special about this Fest?
--In an effort to promote Multi-stanism, MVFest mods ask that you do not write about the groups you receive.
For example: if the MV you choose is ‘ON’ by BTS, do not write about BTS. However, if your MV is ‘Egotistic’ by MAMAMOO, feel free to write about BTS or any other group besides MAMAMOO.

--Once stories are posted, X (Twitter) Polls will be created for readers to participate and guess which MV influenced your story.
For this reason, we ask that you not title your stories with the song names or put the MV you chose in your description.
