The Voldemort Fest

Our last entry has been posted. The master list will be up on Wednesday. Those who wish, can catch up with comments while the artists and authors still remain anonymous.

Just a quick reminder that sign-ups end on Sunday, that is tomorrow. Ficathon Exchange

This is the the sign-up post for the prompt-based ficathon. To sign-up for the exchange, please head over here.

If you decide to sign up for the exchange you're not allowed to claim a prompt in ficathon until you submit your work for the exchange.

You can claim no more than two prompts. If you submit your entry early, you can come back and claim more. You decide if you use it for art or fic.

Each prompt can be claimed only twice.

Fics must be at least 1,000 words long, spell checked, and beta read. Artwork should be more than a quick and dirty sketch.

The mod reserves the right to return a story or an artwork if she feels that it does not meet quality or prompt description.

All participants must stay anonymous and cannot post their stories elsewhere until the reveal.

( List of Prompts )

When signing up, use the following template:

<b>LJ/IJ Name:</b> <b>Prompt Number(s):</b>

You may drop out from the ficathon without any consequences.

If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me either commenting in the comm or via email.

This is the sign up post for the gift exchange. If you want to sign up for the ficathon, you can do so here.

Taking part in an exchange means that you'll be creating a gift for someone, according to their wishes, and that someone will create a gift just for you.

Please, don't sign up for the exchange if you're not sure whether you'll be able to fulfil your obligation on time. You can always try your hand at one of our prompts in ficathon.

People who dropped out from the exchange last year cannot participate this year. People who will drop out from the exchange this year, will be banned from participating next year.

If you decide to sign up for the exchange you're not allowed to claim a prompt in ficathon until you submit your work for the exchange.

Fics must be at least 1,000 words long, spell checked, and beta read. Artwork should be more than a quick and dirty sketch.

The mod reserves the right to return a story or an artwork if she feels that it does not meet quality or rating requirements.

All participants must stay anonymous and cannot post their stories elsewhere until the reveal.

All arts and fics must be emailed to the mod at riddlefest@gmail.com before the deadline.

Riddle Fest will be split into exchange and ficathon. In ficathon you choose from the list of prompts and draw/write your work based on it. To have something to choose from first you have to leave some suggestions. If you don't draw/write but you'd like to see your ideas made flesh, this is your chance, though we cannot guarantee that your prompt will be picked.

How to proceed?

1. Read ( the list of prompts ) and if you think that you have an idea that wasn't suggested yet...
2. ...comment here with your prompt.

Your suggestion must be meant for Tom Marvolo Riddle/Lord Voldemort as a main character. You can suggest whether you'd like it to be an art or fic; gen, het or slash; what characters could/should appear there; scenarios; ratings; etc. You can be as vague or specific as you like. You can suggest as many prompts as you like.

Suggesting the prompts doesn't mean that you have to draw/write something.

This is not the post where you sign-up for either part of the fest.

Table light - if you have problems with viewing it in normal mode

Exchange Sign up
Ficathon sign up

Hello and welcome again to the Riddle Gifts Fest of 2008. Like last year, an anonymous gift exchange and a ficathon will be held simultaneously. Sign ups will begin on May 9th, but before then, here is some general information. There will be two sign up posts: one for the gift exchange, and one for the ficathon. You can sign up either one of them or for both if your heart desires, but if you decide to do both, please make sure you at least complete your assignment for the gift exchange. If you submit your entry early on and would like to claim a ficathon prompt, you are more than free to do so.

Currently, we are accepting prompts for this year's ficathon. You can submit prompts into either post on LiveJournal or InsaneJournal. Prompts from last year will be used again. However, please note that all claimed prompts from last year will be disqualified for this round. Doing so will ensure that the same prompts don't get claimed year after year.

All fics and art for both exchange and ficathon must be emailed to the mods at riddlefest@gmail.com. To preserve anonymity only the mod can post in the community. The mods will make a posting schedule containing both exchange and ficathon works and post them, beginning on July 17th. The posting time will depend on the number of participants and submitted entries. Between 2-4 entries may be posted every day. It all depends on the number of fic and art submitted.

The exchange and ficathon participants must obviously stay anonymous until the reveal, but all participants are encouraged to pimp and link to this community. However, all fic and art must remain exclusive to the community until the end of the fest and cannot be posted anywhere else on the internet.
