FAQ
I actually haven't been asked any questions yet but these are the ones that I anticipate being asked. If you have one that's not on the list here, just reply to this post. :)

01. So break it down for me: what do my fics need to be about?
You write seven fics, one for each day of the week. Each fic must have at least one of that day's themes (but you can write for two or all three). In addition, your fic must reference that day in some way (by having an apointment on Tuesday, graduation on Thursday, whatever). You can interpret the themes however you want, and reference the days however you like.

02. Do I have to write about a couple?
No. You can claim a character and have it be completely gen, or you can claim two or three characters and let them be best friends. This isn't a romantic challenge and each days' themes can be interpreted however you want: romantic or platonic.

03. How many characters can I claim?
No more than three. Which means, you can claim Snape, Lucius, and Draco, but you can't claim the Deatheaters.

04. Is incest/shota/non-con okay?
Yes, yes, yes but warn for content.

05. Each day has three themes to it; do I have to write all three?
No. You can write all three in a fic, or just two, or just one. I added three different themes simply to add some variety without having to write three different theme sets.

06. Can two people collaborate?
No. One person is to write all seven fics.

07. Can my story be offsite/not posted directly to the community?
Yes, but do not link to a friends only/otherwise restricted page. If you do, I will ask you to post it elsewhere. If you don't comply, I will delete the post. Sorry if that sounds harsh.

08. So is it one fic a day, or is there some other time constraint?
The only time constraint is, if you've not posted something for two months, I will email and make sure that you're still interested in keeping the claim.

09. Do I tag my own entries or let you do it?
Let me tag them. I was going to have everyone tag their own entries but I would rather take care of it myself. Control freak? I THINK NOT.

	I figure this is the best place to ask, but by "original fandom" in the user info, do you mean that should I choose, I could write original fiction for this? is pondering what she might be able to write fandom-wise and wants to consider all the options (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yep, original fiction is very acceptable. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	The only time constraint is, if you've not posted something for two months, I will email and make sure that you're still interested in keeping the claim. You don't have to write seven fics for seven days consecutively, if that's what you're asking. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Bit of an odd question- can you do one longer fic, broken into separate chapters and have a chapter for each theme, or does it have to be seven separate fics, or can they be a series of fics? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	nanthimus 2008-01-08 02:38 am UTC (link)
	Your themes can be written as chapters for the same story, but they must be individual chapters, posted seperately. In short: yes, the fics can be related, be they chapters, sequels, prequels, or what-have-you, as long as they're posted seperately. :) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Awesome possum. That's what I was hoping to hear. That'll make it a lot easier to figure out what I wanna do for these themes- they look awesome and I love the concept and I have a vague idea brewing, but no idea even which fandom to go looking in. XD; So knowing this will help. ♥ (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I can't seem to add tags to my post. Umm...help...? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	nanthimus 2008-01-15 02:22 am UTC (link)
	Hmm. Well, I was planning on changing the tag policy. Don't worry about it; I'll take care of all tagging. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	:3 Two and 1/2 questions~. 1. For the saturday theme, would it be acceptable for another character from a character's fandom to make an appearance for one fic only? Say, Walter and Eric Walsh for the Saturday theme, or would I need to claim that? 2. and what about violence? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	nanthimus 2008-01-18 01:56 am UTC (link)
	1. That would be fine! Other characters from your character's fandom can make appearances so long as you don't focus on one particularly pairing/friendship in all of your fics, and your character is the focus. :) 2. I'm not sure what you're asking about, sorry. XD; (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	2. Like blood and brains and stuff like that? :O Thank you~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nanthimus 2008-01-18 05:21 am UTC (link)
	Oh, okay. Violent content is acceptable. :) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hello, I was wondering if you'd like to affiliate with 30straightdays, everyfiveyears and multificathon? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	nanthimus 2008-01-20 11:55 pm UTC (link)
	Hello! Sure, daysoftheweek will affiliate with those communities. :) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nowcarpediem 2008-01-21 04:33 am UTC (link)
	Thanks, just wanted to let you know you put the wrong one down for everyfiveyears but instead you put everyfivedays and I'm going to update my stuff tonight =) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	dropsofviolet 2008-04-07 09:20 pm UTC (link)
	Do the 7 days in question have to be in a row? E.g., one week in the life of the character/pairing? Or can they be spread out? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	nanthimus 2008-04-08 02:43 pm UTC (link)
	They can be spread out. They actually don't really have to have anything to do with each other. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)
