the basics of participating

All participants will receive a PDF copy of the entire project, formatted with everyone's fics and art! We are not selling these or profiting from them in any way. If you're wanting to get it printed using a print-on-demand service such as Barnes and Noble, it will be formatted for you to be able to do that! We cannot provide this, it'll be digital unless you personally get it printed.
The relationship featured in the piece should be around Lucifer and Alastor only. Feel free to include references to past relationships as it fits your narrative, but the only active relationship and any graphic depiction should solely be RadioApple. (Exception: Lucifer's clones and Alastor's shadow are both allowed for this project, provided that the shadow is part of him and not a separate entity.)
We will never give unsolicited criticism on your work under any circumstances. However, participants must be open to feedback if a moderator finds that your work does not adhere to project guidelines or finds that the word/prompt chosen is not reflected well in the fic.
There will be both private and public letter chats in the Discord server! This means that you will have a place to publicly brainstorm, share wips, talk, and get hyped for your fellow author's and artist's work along with a private place for you to ask questions, ask for extensions, discuss with your assigned artist, and submit progress for check-ins.
The private chats will be shared between the artist and author. If you would like to submit any check-ins or comments with total privacy, there is a ticketing tool that you are free to utilize whenever you wish! We want the participants to be as comfortable as possible and aim to give them all the tools they need to make that happen.
The work for this project should not be an extension of an existing story or AU, though you are welcome to build off it later after the project! (You may, of course, use existing concepts such as a royal guard, nanny, or Hades and Persephone AU, we just ask that it not be based on any existing fics or comics. All content must be solely your own.)

Guidelines for authors

As a potential author for the project, you will be expected to provide your WIPs (either uploading a .docx, .pdf, etc. or by linking to a Google Doc file) during the last two check-ins.
We will ask for a final copy of your work (the same final version you'll be uploading to AO3) in either a Microsoft Word .docx file or a link directly to a Google Doc so that we can format your work easier for the final showcase PDF.
Each fic should be between 2,000 and 10,000 words. A hard limit is 12,000 words maximum.
You may pick your own prompt, rating, and content warnings as long as it is not a repeated word from a previous year.
You will be responsible for publishing your fic on your own AO3 account on your designated day and add it to the 2025 collection! The title of your fic will need to match the naming convention. (e.g. A is for Anxiety)

guidelines for artists

As a potential artist for the project, you will be expected to provide your WIPs (either uploading a picture directly to Discord or linking to a Google Drive file) during the three check-ins.
Your art should be in portrait orientation with these dimensions to ensure the formatting for the final showcase PDF is uniform! It will be in A5, which is 5.83 inches x 8.27 inches at 300DPI (1749 px wide by 2481 px tall.)
You will work closely with your author to brainstorm what kind of piece you'd like to create, whether it be SFW or NSFW, a specific scene, or an interpretation. Be sure you're both on the same page!
You will be expected to produce a fully colored and rendered piece of art based on the fic you've chosen. You will have from April 1 - July 20 to create this fully finished piece.
You will be responsible for publishing your art on your own social media account on your designated day.

PROJECT LEAD & Writing Mod

Hi, I’m Trash! I love all things Hazbin, and most especially RadioApple. I write mostly NSFW with a heavy dose of world-building, but I love these two in all their forms and ravenously consume art and fanfic whenever I can.It’s such an honour to be hosting the second A-Z event! What started as a small, silly idea has now expanded into a community of authors and artists coming together to create what we love. I can’t wait to see what A-Z 2025 brings!

Hey there! I'm Winter, I've got Pisces in like five of my (I think they're called) houses, and I have a nigh insatiable, burning love for RadioApple. I deal mostly in the hurt/comfort side of things but I always endeavor to have a happy ending in all of my stories.I am very happy to be back helping co-host the RadioApple A-Z for the second year in a row! Last year was such a blast to host and I cannot wait to see all the incredible stories and art pieces that come from this project in 2025!

PROJECT LEAD, Writing & Art Mod

Hello! I’m Beanie, your friendly neighborhood RadioApple enthusiast! You can usually find me deep down in the fluffiest of fluff, though a little angst along the way does make the soft landing all the better. I’m largely focusing on illustrating, writing, and sewing.I am thrilled to return for our second RadioApple A-Z adventure! There really is an amazing amount of talent in this fandom and I am so excited to help another collection of fantastic stories and artwork come to fruition this year!

Heeeeey everyone! I’m Ellie, your local Angst Queen and Chaos Demon! I am a writer with a love of soft and angsty RadioApple and I really enjoy exploring deep, profound feelings in my writing with a healthy dose of NSFW on the side!I had the amazing opportunity to participate as an author last year, so I am incredibly honored to have been chosen as a writing mod for this year! I know that we are going to have a lot of fun creating together, and I cannot wait to help see this project come to fruition for the second time!

Writing Mod

Hi! I woke up one day and decided for some reason to write a little bit of fic on these two random dudes I keep seeing on my socials. Next thing I know, they've dragged me into Hell and I haven't figured out how to escape.I’m that author that needs to show how two idiots fall in love, no matter what universe they’re in. Catch me doing everything from making them professors at a magic school to retired professional ballet dancers. Now it’s time for you to come with me and learn your ABCs with a dash of old man yaoi!

Hullo, I’m Corgi; part time artist, full time clown. I adore RadioApple to totally healthy degree and the Morningstars are my comfort family. Through Hazbin, I have become way too comfortable drawing porn and I ain’t stopping now.I’m super excited to be joining the A-Z team as an art mod this year; I was lucky enough to create the cover art for last year's event and I can’t wait to see the love and passion for this year's event.

Heyo, I’m Petra and I’m so excited to be part of this project as a mod! I’m a writer, artist, and merch maker who’s hitched her wagon to RadioApple without any plans of getting off soon.I enjoy exploring world building and emotions through Lucifer, and the intricacies of a relationship through Alastor. These boys revived my creative flame and helping with projects in this fandom is my way of spreading the love. I can’t wait to see what's made for this year!
