Round Three - Author Sign-Ups
Author sign-ups are now closed for this year. If you've already signed up, you should have received a welcome email - please reply so we know we've got your email address right.
Rules for Writers
1. Stories must be a minimum length of 15,000 words. There is no maximum, but it must be a completed story at the time of posting.
2. Stories may be slash, gen, or het. AUs and crossovers with the French Mistake ‘verse or the CW RPF ‘verse are permitted. All other crossovers are not.
3. Stories must be beta’d and coded prior to posting. Also, if your artist has created anything to be embedded in the story (e.g. dividers), these should be embedded prior to posting.
4. You may not post your story, either as a completed fic or a WIP, anywhere on the internet prior to your assigned posting date. Teasers or samples may be posted, but these should be as short as possible.
5. Your story should be posted on you own journal or website on your assigned posting date. A header and links should be posted to the community. Please see the FAQ for this round’s policy on locked entries.
6. The central story element must focus on Gabriel or Richard Speight, Jr.
7. On the day of artist claims, please wait until the mods have confirmed the author/artist pairings before contacting your artist to begin your collaboration.
8. At this time, you may choose to sign up as either an author or an artist. Not both. Please see the FAQ for more info about this round’s policy on double-duty sign-ups.
Important Dates for Writers
*November 24, 2012 is the last possible day to sign up. Sign-ups will be closed at 11:59 PM EST.
*The first check-in on December 29, 2012 and second check in on January 26, 2013 are not mandatory. No one will be dropped from the challenge for not responding to these check-ins. However, we encourage our authors to participate in them: not just so that we mods have an idea of how the challenge is progressing, but also so that the participants can give each other encouragement and feedback. The second check-in is especially helpful for the latter, as authors will be allowed to post a teaser or snippet from their story in the comments.
*By February 28, 2013 at 11:59 PM EST, the mods must receive the following by e-mail:
1. Complete story draft with final title
2. Artist claim summary
3) All applicable story warnings, pairings and rating
Any authors also wishing to sign-up as artists may do so once the mods have received these materials.
*On March 2, 2013, your anonymous summary and title will be posted for artists to claim. Please wait until the mods confirm the artist’s claim and post the pairings before contacting your artist.
*Posting will begin on April 9, 2013. You will receive an assigned posting date from the mods for on or after that day. An appropriate story header will be supplied to you, and the post must contain the links to your story and the completed artwork created by your artist. All entries related to the work must be unlocked at posting or the post will not be accepted by the mods.
