A few general points:
Remember: The whole point of this Community is that it is 'Love for the over 40s'. Therefore it it imperative that EACH half of the pairing is 40+ in the story - it doesn't matter if they are 20, 30 or 45 in canon, in the story/piece of artwork they MUST be over 40.
The prompts are broken down firstly by fandom and then into blocks within the fandom of specific pairings and no pairing/on half of the pairing, just prompts.
Where a pairing and a prompt is given you must use that pairing with the prompt.
Where only a prompt is given, you can use any pairing within the fandom.
What you cannot do is to take a prompt from one fandom and use it for another. The prompt must be used within the specific fandom, and if a pairing is listed for that specific pairing.
The prompts under 'Any Fandom & Any Pairing' are just that. They don't have to be a fandom already listed, they can be any fandom at all.
You can write as many stories/produce as many pieces of artwork as you wish, there are no limits, and the same prompt can be used my multiple people - you do not have to claim a prompt. Just select the one(s) you like and write.
The theme of this third promptathon is 'First Times'. This to be in the 'true' relationship sense of the word, i.e. they must get together in a romantic and/or sexual way in the story/artwork. They can already be friends/know one another, but they must not be lovers prior to the story/artwork.
This promptathon begins on 1st May 2009 and runs for the entire month of May.
Posting guidelines can be found here.
We look forward to the stories/artwork.
Happy writing!!!
