Pre-planning?

Hello, I was wondering if pre-planning is allowed prior to the start? If so, how much is allowed?

I have an idea in tandem with a few other spooky jams, but it might be slightly too much in the timeframe of the nearest deadline if I have to wait another week before starting. If so, I'l cook up something else :)

Feel free to pre-plan! As long as it fits the jam guidelines otherwise, you should be fine to prep as much as you’d like in advance.

Thank you so so much for the speedy reply!!🫡

The jam is going to remain open for quite a while, into next year for a couple months. While pre-planning is perfectly fine, there's no huge rush to make sure your entry makes it in for this one specifically. We mostly set the start date arbitrarily when it best fit into our schedules. All the guidelines are laid out, so feel free to begin work whenever is convenient.

I appreciate that. I came across a handful of other spooky jams so I wanted to combine it all into one booklet. I'm cranking out some pre-planning as we speak so life doesn't get in the way of finishing before the other deadlines

Excited to see what you come up with!

Just as an aside, d12s are very underrated :)
