fic requests: holiday cheers

Nov 26, 2009 23:59

Christmas is a little less than a month away. This is my present to you, f-list, but only if you put in a bit of effort first.
That is, if you can put up with my non-existant deadlines when it comes to these things - although they will be finished within a year, I hope/promise.

How this will work:
✔read the FAQ below the cut
✔copy+paste the text in the textbox below and fill in the required fields (and yes, all fields are required, maybe except the last one)
✔your request will be processed, but please be patient with any delays that result from school

FAQ
How many may I request?
➡One, unfortunately, due to my schedule. However, if I manage to finish your prompt before I re-open the applications (see "deadlines" below), you may request for a second one when the time comes.

What will and won't you write?
➡I am het, yaoi, and yuri friendly. I don't write smut well (at all), so if you happen to request something rated R and beyond, prepare for some vague allusions to smuttiness; a.k.a., you won't be seeing any "Aaah~" or "Unnh, it feels so good inside you--come on, harder--!" Fair warning, yes?

Which fandoms am I allowed to request?
➡You are welcome to look at my LJ profile, under life, recreation, etc.☆ -> 'serious' & not-so-'serious' fandoms. To list a few without opening a new window:
♫ Yuugiou (DM)
♫ Nodame Cantabile
♫ Toshokan Sensou [= Library War]
♫ Kimi ni Todoke [= Reaching You]
♫ Higashi no Eden [= Eden of the East]
♫ Soul Eater
♫ Ouran High School Host Club
♫ Hakushaku to Yousei [= Earl and Fairy]
♫ Durarara!!

How about fandoms you haven't listed?
➡By all means, go ahead! Just be sure to provide me with sufficient information, such as characterization, background, etc., so I can write at least write something decently. Word of caution: these will most likely be on lowest priority because I am still overall unfamiliar with it.

May I request something that I know you don't support?
➡Yes, you are allowed to do so. This is your prompt, so don't ask for my permission for things like these.

How do you want your prompts?
➡I prefer you giving me something solid to work on, but also some leeway so I can stretch it out a bit. One-word prompts are okay, since I'm still working on my 100_wangsts challenge, but more than one word is also all right. (I know, not very helpful. But it depends how loosely you want your prompt to be interpreted, ri~ght?)

How long would the request be (i.e. word count)?
➡This I cannot guarantee anything. It depends largely on the request you submit (!), but it's rare for me to go above 1,000 words nowadays (sadly). It's going to be a range from drabbles (100~500 words) to a shorter-than-a-real-fic length (<1,000 words). Unless I'm very motivated by your prompt.

When can I expect my request?
➡Any time between when you submit the form until...whenever, really. Don't get your hopes up, please, haha. I will need to stop writing when I am studying for my exams, but my hope is that I will finish them in time to present them as Christmas gifts.

Can I bribe you?
➡Haha, you wish, right? Sorry, everyone is on equal footing here. The rate at which your request is fulfilled depends on many factors, including my level of interest, time, etc. So it doesn't matter if you bribe me or not; if I'm stuck, I'm stuck. Everyone knows how nasty Writer's Block can get, yes?

I'm ready to make my request!
➡You are, are you? Then copy and paste the following text and fill in the information for me, please:
FANDOM:
CHARACTER(S)/PAIRING(S):
PROMPT:
OTHERS:


DEADLINE FOR THE FIRST BATCH OF REQUESTS: Thursday, December 3, 2009, at 11:59PM (a week from today) CLOSED

DEADLINE FOR THE SECOND BATCH OF REQUESTS: Monday, February 15, 2010, at 11:59PM CLOSED
Any requests after that will not be considered top-priority. until this post is re-opened again for Reading Week ("second batch") requests. When the time comes, I'll link you back to this post.

If you have more questions, feel free to drop a comment (so I can expand on my FAQ!). Although this is my second time offering fic requests, this is the first time I've formatted the post like this.
