Which means it's time for the fun post of extraordinary fun!
+ July 9th is the due date of your rough draft. This is to double-check wordcounts and post summaries anonymously for artists to grab at. If you're participating as a team, send one in anyway; we'd like to see how you're doing. =D
!! by this point !!
⇒ WE WANTS THE WORDCOUNT
Deliver it in whole/parts/chapters/installments/episodes or whatever else; YOUR WORDCOUNT SHOULD BE OVER 10,000. WRITTEN IN COHESIVE SENTENCES. WITH SOME FORM OF STORY-LIKE STRUCTURE. IN CONNECTION WITH NARUTO. MOSTLY IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
⇒ FIC SHOULD BE COMPLETE
(or *very* close to completion.)
⇒ FIC SHOULD INCLUDE A HEADER THAT LOOKS SOMETHING LIKE THIS
Title:
Author(s): [lj username]
Pairing(s): I/A
Rating: [cinema-style, G - NC17]
Warnings: I/A
Summary:
Notes: (you may include a wordcount here, as well. :D)
⇒ PLEASE MAKE A LIST OF THE TOP FIVE SCENES YOU WISH TO HAVE ILLUSTRATED IN YOUR FIC, FOLLOWED BY THE CORRESPONDING PAGE NUMBER
This is only to help artists weigh their own styles next to the writers' story, which means that you will not necessarily have those specific scenes illustrated; artists are not required to illustrate what's on the list.
⇒ TO SEDUCE ANY POTENTIAL ARTISTS/MIXERS, YOU MAY ALSO COPY-PASTE A SMALL PASSAGE FROM YOUR STORY, STICK IT BETWEEN QUOTATION MARKS AND PLACE IT UNDER THE LIST.
This is optional, but use it wisely, as it is the only form of alternate advertising you will be allowed to make. (here, a small passage < 5 paragraphs)
⇒ FIC SHOULD INCLUDE PROPER HTML FORMAT
Unfortunately, I just don't have the time nor conviction to go through twenty different 10,000+ documents, while checking over the italics and pagebreaks. Despite the epicness of it all. =\
*side note: In this comm, auto-formatting has been disabled, so don't worry about inserting
's.
+ Aw, hell. Here's a sample posting form.
Title: Naruto and Sai's Big Big Closet Adventure
Author(s): Team Sai's Penis (
megyal,
weeaboobs,
ezyls_girl)
Pairing(s): Sai/Naruto, Uchiha Shisui/giant squid
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Greek gods, threesomes, figging, BDSM, Penis Pirates
Summary: Sai and Naruto discover a mysterious closet on the sidewalk. They open the door and find a naked, bound boy sitting inside, unconscious and bearing an uncanny resemblance to the heir of the Uchiha Corporation. Upon closer examination, Sai suddenly notices that the boy has misplaced his most precious asset. Will the three of them ever recover what they've lost? Promises 47 pages of raunchy fun!
Notes: Please don't make fun of us! Wordcount 54310.

1. Naruto opening the closet door. (page 3)
2. Sai's horrified expression upon discovering that the boy has lost his most precious asset. (page 4)
3. The giant squid blowing pretty bubbles into Shisui's face. (page 27)
4. Naruto kissing Sai goodbye as he boards the airplane to Monaco. (page 38)
5. Neji dancing to Europop. (page 40)

+ SEND IT ALL OVER TO >>
bigbangttebayo@gmail.com <<. Accepted document formats: .doc, .docx, .odt, .rtf, .txt. For anything else, check with me first.
+ Remember, don't post these anywhere else yet! It'll defeat the whole purpose of being anonymous and sparkly.
+ Final drafts are due July 30. That's three weeks for you to polish and collaborate with your artists and mixers! Posting then begins on August 6, without art. We're giving the artists extra time to finish, so that artposts will go up on the same day as reveals. Reveals date is still TBA.
+ If you want to request an extension or drop out, do it now. Email us. Keep in mind that extensions will probably only give you like, one more week of time, tops.
+ Any more questions, ask them here.
Lastly, thanks for all those gorgeous little drabbly bits I saw at
narutobanged ! Now I know what I can expect from some of you. >D
~this has been ezyl.
eta:
Thought I'd just make a note of it. Unfortunately,
megyal has decided to step down from modly duties. If you ever see her, please thank her for everything she's done for us in the past two months. A big portion of the rules were written by her, as well as the timelines. She was also the one who hooked us up with a cool banner-maker. =)
Boobs-chan will also be vacationing for a greater part of posting. She's been doing a great job hosting chats, posting peppy gifs and keeping
narutobanged alive, and I'd really like to keep it up. If you have any ideas for activity and/or endeavors you wish to pursue, bring 'em on over to our spin-off comm. I really need the entertainment.
And if you have any more time, continue to prompt and write for the drabble ficathon. =D Good exercise for long, tiring plot. \o/
6/6/10 ETA #2: POSTING-SENSITIVE CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE CONTENT ABOVE. PLEASE CHECK THIS POST AGAIN KTHXBAI.
