Rules & Timeline
Please read these carefully, if you don't understand or want to know more, ask me!
What is the HP Prisoner Fest all about?
It's an anonymous exchange fest for authors and artists to write/draw about HP characters in a prisoner style situation. So it could be Draco Malfoy taking Hermione Granger hostage in the cellars of Malfoy Manor, Sirius Black keeping Dolores Umbridge locked up his office, or you could be even more creative and have people locked away in their minds.
These sort of fics usually involve things like angst, rape or abuse, so you must be over the age of 18 to participate.
Can I write het/slash/femmeslash/incest?
Yes! All is welcome here :)
Who are the mods?

Rules
01. You must be over the age of 18 to participate, and you will be asked to confirm you are over eighteen in your sign-up.
02. Since this is an exchange fest, please keep in mind that you will be writing/drawing for someone else. If you do not feel you can complete your assingment or would like to swap it, please let me know IMMEDIATELY by emailing me at prisonerfest@gmail.com. I will not be chasing around after you, so if you ignore the first email I send you after the deadline has passed and you haven't turned anything in, I'll find a pinch hitter.
03. The minimum word count is 1,000 words and artwork must be finished. If your fic is too long for an LJ post (10,000 words), please split it yourself and make sure each part has a header (even if it is just as simple as 'Part One' or 'Part Two').
04. Fic and art must be fresh and new, written and drawn especially for this fest. No recycled fic/art or WIPs allowed, and no fics that are part of an existing series or universe. Please put effort into your work, since you are creating a gift for someone else. Please do not hand in a short, unbetad fic or a sketch.
05. Fic and art must be about a character in a prisoner-style situation. This must be the main theme of the piece.
06. There are three restrictions: real person fiction (RPF), crossovers and underage characters in sexual situations (under 16 being underage).
07. Fic must be beta read, including spelling and garmmar, and coded. We will be checking through fics and art to make sure they fit the recipients request and adheres to the rules. Having your fics Britpicked would also be preferable, but it is not a requirement. Fics must be exactly that: a work of fiction, so please don't turn in poetry or song lyrics. If you are unable to find a beta, please contact me and I can try and help you out.
08. Fic and art must NOT be posted anywhere else until the Master List is posted. This fest is anonymous, you should not tell anyone (other than your betas) about your assignment or who your recipient is, nor should you post your work anywhere else, until the Master List has been posted.
09. Co-writers/co-artists are allowed - just one of you should fill in the form for the both of you stating both usernames clearly. Unfortunately, this does mean you will only receive one gift between the two of you.
10. Please provide me with an email you check regularly. No LJ-based emails please.
11. Depending on the number of artists that sign-up, you must be aware that if you ask for art you may get fic, and if you ask for fic you may get art, though we will take your preferences into account.
12. Extensions will be granted but please come to me early if you think you need one, not a day before the deadline.
13. If you dropped out in our 2009 or 2010 fests, you are not eligible to participate in this fest unless previously given permission.
Failure to adhere to the rules may mean your exclusion from the fest.
If you don't think you'll be able to complete your fic in the time given, please don't sign up. It's unfair on everyone. If you're new to fests, please read r_becca's guide to participating in fic exchanges. If at any time you have any questions or comments, please email prisonerfest@gmail.com and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
