Although Succubuns gameplay is designed with visual art in mind, most prompts will also accept written submissions. Any writing submitted to Succubuns that follows the Writing Requirements will earn carats for every 100 words, capping out at 2,500 words.
Before beginning a written prompt, please double check that written submissions are allowed for that particular prompt—some prompts such as the the Succubun Spotlight weekly prompt will only accept visual art.
Basic rewards
Every writing piece submitted to Succubuns that follows the Writing Requirements will earn 3 carats per every 100 words written. This does not round up—498 words will count the same as 400 words, and earn 12 carats.
To receive your carats, please divide your total wordcount by 100, and enter the result into the carat calculator. (Ex. For a piece with 955 words, you would enter 9.)
Please note that written submissions must be at least 300 words long, and cannot exceed 2,500 words. This means that written submissions have a base reward of 9 carats, and a maximum reward of 75 carats. You may refer to the Writing Requirements page for more information.
Prior to November 2024, writing submissions had a base reward for 300 words written, with additional carats for every 100 words above 300. Due to confusion, this has been replaced with a flat reward per 100 words.

A note: We know everyone wants carats, and that's the main reason people submit art/writing to the website-- it's the intent of the game and is totally fine! However to keep the game fair for everyone, and to prevent staff from having to review dozens of extremely similar submissions, we reserve the right to reject anything that seems to have been made as quickly as possible to squeeze out the maximum number of carats.
We don't expect people to be submitting fully rendered 40+ hour pieces for prompts, but please make sure there is real effort and time put into anything you submit. Things that appear to be made for the purpose of low-effort grinding will be reviewed on a case by case basis and will be rejected.
