general guidelines
This project has an emphasis on communication and collaboration. Although authors will be picking the original prompt and may have a general idea in mind for a story to pitch to the artists, absolutely no writing on the actual fic must be done until the creation period begins on March 1st. This is meant to be a collaboration, and we encourage all artist and author partners to create the story that they both enjoy and can show off proudly.
If, during the brainstorming period from February 21–28, a collab group finds they are not compatible, that the story includes a CW that makes the artist uncomfortable, or something to that effect, then we will do everything in our power to find a solution. We can work privately to move folks around to ensure a more favorable pairing and a good project experience.
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.
If a contributor misses the check-in weekend of June 12–15 and has not communicated with the mod team regarding extenuating circumstances, a pinch hitter will be pulled for that letter.
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.
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.
Participants will also receive a small print of that year's collection cover art along with a sticker of the A–Z apple logo as thanks for their hard work, participation, and trust. This will be sent from the Project Leads at no cost to the participants.
— guidelines.
content guidelines
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.)
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.)
While the project contains many NSFW and lighthearted prompts, content is not required to be NSFW or lighthearted. We endeavor to showcase many aspects of Lucifer and Alastor's relationship, including those with darker themes and heavier topics! Please take care to read all the applicable tags, summaries, and content warnings on the fics and art within the collections.
To be selected for this project in the application process, we will be looking for a few different things:
For authors, we'll be looking at your AO3 page and will look for things such as: if you've got any RadioApple fanfics within the word count range we're asking for that are a full and complete storyline, plot cohesion, characterization, as well as conventions (grammar, punctuation, spelling) within your work.
For artists, we'll look for things like consistency, composition, bodily proportions/anatomy, and use of color and lighting.
Unfortunately, if you don't have any RadioApple fanart or fanfiction in your portfolio or AO3 works, then your application will not be considered for this project.
Please know that your follower count will never be factored in when reviewing your application!
— guidelines.
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 5,000 and 15,000 words.
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 2026 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 story you've helped bring to life in your collab.
You will be responsible for publishing your art on your own social media account on your designated day.

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 2026 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 this year!

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!
