Subject: [ID number] Title
In the body of your email, please include the following:
Title:
ID:
Word count:
Themes used: (only if participating in the theme challenge)
(text of fic)
If your fic exceeds 10,000 words (or the LiveJournal post word limit), please indicate chapter divisions so that we can post your fic in proper installments. Please also include HTML tags for any formatted text in your fic (e.g. for italics, for bold, for underline). (The mods will certainly double-check to make sure all formatted text is tagged properly prior to posting but it will help us post faster if you include them.)
3. Guidelines for submissions:
- The deadline for submissions is September 20, 2007, 11:59 PM EST.
- All fics must be for the Hikaru no Go fandom. This round will be for AUs and crossovers only, so your fic must fall in either category. To qualify as an AU, the fic must either feature events diverging from the canon timeline or have a setting different from the canon universe. To qualify as a crossover, the fic must feature at least one character from another series (of any medium) in a significant role. Please consult the mods if you are unsure whether your fic meets any of these specifications.
- Word count should be greater than 1000 words. There is no maximum limit.
- Writers can submit up to two submissions.
- There are no restrictions on genre, rating or pairing.
- Writers may choose to write in their usual style or disguise it as they wish.
4. Fics will be posted in the community through
answer_key within two days after the submission deadline. The members of the community will also be supplied with a list of all the authors that wrote for the challenge and their writing archives, in the interest of facilitating the guessing game.
5. Community members will post their guesses in an entry with screened comments. Writers will be allowed to guess for all fics that are not their own. The answers, along with the members with the highest percentage of correct guesses, will be posted one week after the fics are first posted.
As always, if there are any questions or concerns, please email either mod, tarigwaemir at gmail or silvermuse89 at yahoo.
