The Rules ( ... )

Re: Re the Rules winklevii December 12 2011, 01:35:24 UTC

I am going to reply to this thread with an example of what a prompt should be, okay?

[trigger warning: self-harm] winklevii December 12 2011, 01:36:36 UTC

Seaver; the stress of the job leaves her struggling not to fall back into old habits

Re: [trigger warning: self-harm] winklevii December 12 2011, 01:39:52 UTC

As you can see, the title is reserved SPECIFICALLY for trigger warnings. There should be nothing else in that title. It should be TRIGGER WARNING: [Trigger].

The body of the comment should be the prompt, which should be formatted as, "Character X: does ABC". It shouldn't be, "After this episode, this character does this thing, which relates back to this other thing that she did, and does not relate to something else, but definitely relates to this certain thing."

What we're going for is simplicity. CHARACTER + SHORT PROMPT.

I like the idea of this meme. I hope it will still be around and active when RL gets less busy in January and I’ll find the time to actually participate. I’m glad that filling will still be allowed, even after prompting has closed for a round.

We'll be on a new theme by then, but past themes will be open for filling. I hope you find time to participate too :D In the mean time enjoy the fills!

I'm wondering if this header for the fill is ok?

[Fill] Title (Rating). WARNING: insert some triggering thing here.

Because I wanted to fill something that does not have a warning. Also, my warning would be spoilers, do you think spoilers should be warned in the header of the fill?

On a second note, I wanted to leave this info here in case someone may need it (I needed it a couple of months ago and have no idea).
The max characters a comment can have is 4300 if I'm not mistaken.

(btw, thank you SO much for this comm, I'm in love with it ;D)

You do not need to warn for show spoilers, there is a disclaimer that this is not a spoiler-free community. :)

That formatting for warnings is fine, and it's fine if you write a fill that needs a warning even if the prompt didn't.

I'm glad you're enjoying it :D

A new round? ficdirectory December 27 2011, 12:55:16 UTC

Will there be a new round soon? I really love this community and I can't wait for new prompts!

Re: A new round? charleswhatnow December 29 2011, 19:54:28 UTC

I'll consult with the other mods and see what we come up with for the next round and starting date.

I'm so glad you are enjoying the community!

Suggestion for future round theme... nannerz2cool December 29 2011, 21:20:21 UTC

On The Cutting Room Floor (Prompts having to do with things mentioned or alluded to on the show, but not actually shown - ex. JJ travels from Virginia to Paris to meet Emily.)
