Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to write a 15,000 word or more fanfic starring an original character. Any fandom, any rating!
Important Dates
June 2-30: Writers sign up
June 2: Writing begins
July 1: Writer Check-in #1
August 1: Writer Check-in #2
August 15-31: Artists and Beta Readers sign up
September 1: Rough drafts are due
September 1-7 - Artists choose a story
October 1 - Stories and Art are due
Rules
The OC
* The character cannot be a genderbend or an adult version of a kid character. It has to be a completely made up character.
* Your OC (or OCs) doesn't have to be in every scene, but they must be a/the main character of the story; minor, secondary, or background OCs don't count.
What's allowed?
* This challenge is open to any fandom (RPF is included), and any genre - het, gen, slash, or femslash.
* AUs are allowed.
* Crossovers are allowed, but may make finding beta readers and artists more difficult.
* Incest is allowed, but may make finding beta readers and artists more difficult.
* Steamy scenes are allowed, as long as the characters are at the age of consent in their respective countries.
* No original fiction. This is a fan fiction challenge.
* You may use a story you've already started, but you have to add 15,000 more words to it during the writing time.
Artists, Betas, and Co-writers
* You are allowed to have a co-writer, but no more than two people to a story.
* Every story must be beta read. We intend to have a list of beta volunteers, but if you're writing in a very small fandom, you may have to bring your own beta on board. Though, we will make every effort to find an artist for you.
* I encourage you to choose a known fandom so I can find an artist for you. If you choose a small, obscure fandom, tell us where to find you an artist! Or help us out by bringing your own artist (e.g. tell a friend to sign up to do your art).
Other
* Please do not post your story anywhere until the stories go live.
* If you have any questions, please comment here.
