Ficathon Sign Ups Now Open!
Sign ups are now open for the Spring 2009 Primeval Ficathon!
( What's a ficathon )
How it works
We have a new shiny sign up form, which will enable us to match authors to assignments on the basis of the information given. Some information on how to use the form to indicate which characters and/or pairing combinations you would like is provided here.
When sign ups close, you'll be mailed with your assignments.
When the big day arrives, you post your work either to the![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif)
primevalathon community or, if you're not based on livejournal/insanejournal, to another journal site or your webpage, letting us know the location so we can make a post to the community. Then ![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
aithine and I put together a master list of all stories.
Then we read ::g::
How long does the story need to be?
At least 1,000 words minimum. There is no maximum.
When does it have to be done by?
Sign ups are open until 31 January.
Assignments will be sent out in the following week.
Stories are due on 31 March 2009. That means you'll have around 8 weeks to write something.
What if I don't have a livejournal? What if I don't have a webpage?
The community exists both on livejournal and insanejournal, so you can simply post your story to theprimevalathon community on whichever journalling site you use. We'll be posting the masterlist to both places.
If you don't have a livejournal or an insanejournal, you can still play. Just sign up as normal and then, when the day of posting arrives, you can either sendaithine or I the link to your work or comment with the information on one of the admin posts. As long as we know where the story is, it doesn't matter whether it's posted to livejournal/insanejournal, the web or another journalling site. We'll make a post to the main community with your story details so that no one misses it.
If you genuinely don't have a place to post it, please let us know and we can arrange to host it on one of our websites and link it in the same way.
( Any Other Questions? )
Cool. What do I need to do now?
Simply read the character/pairing guide and then go and sign up!
Questions?
If you have any other questions, please just letaithine or I know, either here or, if you're more comfortable, by PM.
Anything else?
Yep. Go forth and pimp, my pretties ::g::
