So I can submit three prompts for fic and three different prompts for art (six in all) and then either my three fic prompts get assigned to a fic person, or my three art prompts get assigned to an art person?

[aralias]

yes, that's right. unless something weird goes on with the numbers, but that sounds reasonable to me.

So, on the prompts, is requesting an AU okay? I mean, a more out-there AU that's about the Gallifrey characters, but which doesn't include the Gallifrey setting? Like (for example, I would not request this) the one where Romana is the captain of a ship, and Darkel is trying to mutiny, and Arkadian is a pirate. I understand if you're trying to keep this focused on the audios, but I wondered.

[aralias]

that's fine. also erin (who obviously has no real power here, but still) thinks that you should prompt it, because it's awesome. i agree.

i shall add the AU question to the list.

[neveralarch]

Awesome, thanks. And it was a joke at first, but I am now really tempted to prompt the sailing idea...

I've got nothing very important to say or ask, but Narvin and Brax going to Femslash Vacation World sounds like the best idea ever.

No, wait I have a question to ask (whew) - is there a certain quality you're looking for in your art? Like is colour a requirement and etc. Or else I might just end up drawing really sketchy and etc and this might not be the sort of quality you're after so YOU MUST STOP ME FROM DOING IT.

[aralias]

i didn't really think about it... i suppose i've insisted all fics be at least 1000 words long, so perhaps there should be a similar criteria for art, but it really is a different beast. i suppose what we're looking for is something not dashed off in a margin in 5 minutes -but that might be really awesome, so... i don't know. i tell you what though, i just went to look quickly at your journal and i really like the james/lily thing. i think it'd be great to have you, if you have the time and inclination :D we have two lots of art prompts already...

I don't know if anyone's doing the "High School AU" idea (I'm not doing anything myself because I sort of suck at writing fan fiction) but thanks so much for the idea because I've spent the last couple of days imagining how it would work.
So, the kids at the private school "Gallifrey High" are shocked to be joined by working-class girl Leela. (Her rich uncle Doctor John Smith paid for her to go. Or something.)Romana is Head Girl, the High Council are prefects, the Chancellery Guards are the football team... And what's more fun than imagining Darkel and Pandora as bitchy school girls spreading gossip or Elbon as the first aider who tries to get people to pay for plasters?

[aralias]

sadly they are not. a shame indeed as i love the genre, the cliche, and your synopsis is amazing.

[eloralouistra]

Wow thanks! It's possible I'll try writing it sometime and then try getting past my dislike of letting other people read fiction I've written...

[aralias]

go for it. i know 'm not the only person who would read such a thing if it existed.
