GUIDELINES

G U I D E L I N E S

* Using the list below, incorporate at least one of the elements into your art/fic/icons/music/what have you. Each row is a set of prompts with a common thread, the first word always being a larger, generic idea with more specific prompts following it. They are broad in scope to fit into any fandom and/or original fiction setting pairing and rating (G-NC17).

001.	Elements.	002.	Earth.	003.	Fire.	004.	Water.	005.	Air.
006.	Seasons.	007.	Autumn.	008.	Spring.	009.	Summer.	010.	Winter.
011.	Emotions.	012.	Cranky.	013.	Nervous.	014.	Loved.	015.	Innocent.
016.	Firsts.	017.	First Date.	018.	First Kiss.	019.	First Fight.	020.	First Time.
021.	Places.	022.	Arabia.	023.	Rome.	024.	Greece.	025.	Egypt.

* No pimping/spamming the comm with anything. Make one post per fandom for each fic/art/set of icons you create in response to the challenge with a link to your journal/archive site.

* Use the following format for all posts:

All subject lines need to read:

FIC/ART/ICON~ Pairing (Fandom)

Please use this header. You can copy and paste the info in the text box directly into your document; it includes all the coding necessary with the appropriate spacing. *g* The warnings only need to include sexual kinks, violence, and/or character death.

	Okay, just so I have this straight: we can write/draw something including any one of the prompts, yes? I mean, I don't have to do one for every single word? Just whichever one or ones I choose? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	the_minx_17 2007-09-09 11:34 pm UTC (link)
	Correct. You may use any of the prompts that you choose- be that one of them or all of them. g (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I intend to. And I'm feeling rather inspired after listening to a particular brilliant full cast dramatization of Julius Caesar a couple of days ago. ;) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Oh, lest I forget - you know how everything in my personal journal is locked... can the fic itself go here (or to some other community post) rather than be linked there? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I wasn't planning on hosting the fic and art here. Let think on this and get back to you, sweetheart. I know that you won't be the only one so's I best get to cracking, yeah? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Tis fine. I just want some type of uniformity AND I wanted to make sure that disclaimers were used. g When you post in your journal, I'd appreciate a line about it being for ides_of_march. The more people we reach, the bigger it will get and the more fandoms there will be. hugs Good to see you around again! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hey, Minxie, babe, someone asked if the entries had to be porn. You know I want to go "What are you, NUTS??? Of course it has to be porn!!!" But then I thought it might be prudent to ask. lol (Reply to this) (Thread)

	snort I've been tempted to say that too but we did have people NOT play in BBTP 'cause of the R/NC17 factor. I went back through the guidelines here and bolded it, but yeah, any rating for Ides. loves icon (Reply to this) (Parent)

Um... I ah... I might have written a drabble type thingy in a completely different fandom than I listed, because well... I uh... got inspired? Can I still post it here? It's for the anime Kiba if I can and you need the tag.

Also, half done with the Gundam Wing, the HP one is mocking me with lack of the hawt man secks, and my SGA muses are laughing at me, which is to say, I have nothing at all for that.

	ldybastet 2008-02-06 08:59 pm UTC (link)
	I'll think abut playing with you guys... despite the "highlight for warnings" thing. grumbles I so hate that one. But if I play, I'll do that for the post here, but not anywhere else. I'm in the "warnings should be seen at a glance"-corner. ;-) (and apparently increasingly lonely in it) (Reply to this) (Thread)

We'd love to have you play! And, that said, how you format in your journal should really please no one but you *g* but in a large forum I have to try and find what works best for everyone.

Honestly, if it was up to me, there would be NO warnings. I don't get them in any venue besides fanfic and find them rather bothersome here. *shrugs* Different strokes for different folks, I suppose.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ldybastet 2008-02-06 09:26 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, it can be hard to find a format that suits everyone. Actually.. I think it's impossible. g So many tastes and opinions. The warnings can really go a bit overboard at times, I think. nods Odd how we seem to cling so hard to them in fandom. Now I'll just have to decide what fandom to write in. :-) Yay for creative freedom! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	rubyfruit_pixie 2008-02-07 01:03 am UTC (link)
	I have these ideas for some of the prompts. Can I play? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	the_minx_17 2008-02-09 02:31 am UTC (link)
	That's just to give them due credit. However you want to do it is fine. Sometimes I use the first initial when they don't have a journal. g (Reply to this) (Parent)

	brightflower 2008-02-16 02:25 am UTC (link)
	Okay, I have another question. Silly, perhaps, but....does every piece have to be a pairing? Or can I write gen as well? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	the_minx_17 2008-02-16 02:29 am UTC (link)

Hiya, love :) Quick question! Sorry if it's complicated...

I've done a little drabble ficlet with prompts 016-020...the Firsts. You said each prompt needs to be a different post. So, do I make five different posts? Or can I just put them all in one post and just put the prompt numbers in the heading? Yeah...told ya...complicated! LOL! I'm off to play to make icons and headers....I hope :) ::MV::

	Question, after you post here...can we post elsewhere? And, by elsewhere I mean ffnet? Or do we need to wait for a certain period of time? I was planning to include a little blurb in the beginning that says they were originally written for Insanejournal's Ides of March asylum...if that helps? (Reply to this) (Thread)
