InsaneJournal

Hello everyone, and welcome to the new--and hopefully improved--40themes! I'm sumthinlikhuman, and I'm your local friendly maintainer, here to make sure that life runs smoothly in this little commune!

40themes owe's it's inspiration to other such lovely theme communites all over LiveJournal. Just claim a pairing you wish to work with, and start your writing or drawing (or both) engines to work with the themes. All fandoms and original works will be welcome, as well.

This community will be open to all ratings, all sexualities, but the request that goes with that is that we keep this safe, just in case anyone stumbles along. But we'll get to that later.

As always, you can do the themes in any order, just as inspiration strikes you. But try to stay on top of your themes; if you do not post for over two months, I reserve the right to snatch away the couple you're neglecting (unless there are outstanding circumstances, of course, but I'll expect a formal e-mail if there are such). THIS WILL NOW BE ENFORCED. There will be regular weekly reports on the status of the themes, and e-mail anyone who has been inactive for over six weeks. 2. You may claim up to three couples at a time. This can include crossovers (count for one couple), threesomes/four-or-more (counts for two couples), or non-romantic groups, like friends or schoolmates. After the couples have been claimed, you are the only one allowed to handle them (unless you're doing a two-person collaberation), unless you put them back up for adoption, or until you are finished with your themes. 3. To a request a couple, reply to this post. Subject it with "Request", and don't forget to list the character's known name and fandom. In the case of original characters and universes, please offer a link to the story the characters are from, if one is available. This is more a courtesy thing for the rest of the members, so they can read through the universe from which your characters sprang. If there is no such object present, that's fine too, but remember to state that these characters are your own creation. 4. All themes are open to interpretation. If you're confused about a theme, you can check this post, and ask any unanswered questions. 5. Because of the nature of some of the material that may or may not arise (I encourage your imagination, everyone, just remember that), and to keep the community page nicely proportioned, all entries MUST be under an lj-cut. The posting format is Title: Author: Fandom: Pairing: Rating: Spoilers (if applicable): Disclaimer: Warnings: Note: In the subject line of your post, state the title, the fandom, the pairing, and the theme of your fic. It makes it easier for everybody's life, really. Plus, this will make it easy to memory your entry for later review. Also, tag your entry with the theme number, your penname, the fandom and the rating of the fic; this helps with memories and searches. I WILL NOT BE TAGGING THINGS FOR YOU. IF THINGS ARE NOT TAGGED, THEY WILL NOT BE PUT IN THE MEMORIES. 6. For those of you who are removed from the comm-- Concerning time-laspe: Just reclaim. I might be a little more edgy about you, but I'm perfectly willing to give you a second shot. After three strikes, I will not permit you to reclaim Concerning inappropriate material: This includes depictions of rape and minors in sexual situations with some consideration (see here) , and flaming or trolling. You will be allowed to reclaim, but all posts will be moderated. Every time you try to post a story with these offenses, or you flame, you will be booted. After three strikes, I will not permit you to reclaim And remember, if you have any questions, you can ask them here.
