Claim your pairings here. Please make sure to check the Claims List first to see if your pairing is available. In addition, there is also a Waitlist if your pairing has already been claimed. You can claim up to two pairings at the same time. They have to be worked on simultaneously and must be from different fandoms. Single characters, threesomes, foursomes, etc. are not allowed. Original pairings, however, are allowed, as are crossovers. If you want to drop your current claims or you are finished with a list, you can do so here.

You must post at least one entry every three months. There will be a clean-up on the first of February, May, August, and November. If you cannot make the deadlines, you can request an extension two weeks before the clean-up (the post will be up only then). The extension will give you an extra month to post. However, this does NOT push your next due date back a month. No questions will be asked unless it is the second consecutive extension. Please don't make a habit of continuously asking for extensions because they may be denied the third or fourth consecutive time.

All fic and art must include a kiss (hence the name "30 kisses"). It can be as literally or figuratively as you want, but a kiss of some sort must be in the work. If you're writing a multi-chaptered story you don't have to have a kiss per chapter, but if you used a theme per chapter then each chapter should have a kiss.

The claims can be done once for fic and once for art. You are welcomed to do both art and fic for a set if you are awesome like that. You do not have to do the claims in the order numbered, but you may not combine the claims. Also, please keep all fic postings on InsaneJournal. You may link to your personal journal or another asylum, but please don't link to another blogging account entirely. For art, though, you may link to another image hosting site directly if you choose. When posting, please follow these formats:

Heading Format
Title (Fandom, Pairing, List, #)
ex. Blah (Harry Potter, Ron/Hermione, Original, #2)

Posting Format
Title:
Author/Artist:
Fandom:
Pairing:
Theme: (ex. #1 summer rain)
Rating:
Disclaimer:
Author's Note: (optional)

Please put everything under an lj-cut. There is no maximum word limit to fiction, but there is a minimum limit of 100 words (drabbles). There is also no quality check for art, be it a five-minute doodle or a five-hour masterpiece. But please label your work with an appropriate rating. Banners and icons, however, are not allowed.

The Frequently Asked Questions post is here. If you have any additional questions, please comment here and the mod will get back to you as soon as possible.

This community is inspired by the original 30 Kisses community on LJ and all of the other wonderful themed communities out there. Thank you!

The Original kiss list is taken from the original Japanese 30 kisses and translated. Credit goes to whoever came up with it in Japan.

The Alternate kiss list is made by the mod. In addition, the mod also made all of the banners and icons used specifically for this community from her personal photos and Photoshop. Please don't take them without permission. Thank you.
