![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif) hp_april_fools 2009 Rules! |
[Jan. 7th, 2009|05:40 pm] |
1) All participants and lurkers must be at least 18 years old.
2) If you sign up for the festival and request a fic/art, you must give fic/art in return. Lurkers are encouraged to watch the fest, but they cannot make requests. This is an exchange, folks.
3) If you are an author, you will be creating art in any form for the festival. If you are an artist, you will be writing fic. If you are known for both, you will using alternative mediums.
4) The alternative mediums open to those who are both authors and artists are sculpture (stone, wood, clay, play-doh, butter, etc), fabric arts (quilting, needlework, etc), film (songvids, fanvids, etc), Sims, collage, puppetry, origami, altered book project, etc. The idea is to use a medium you are not experienced with.
5) Sign-ups will run from 07 January to 31 January. Assignments will be mailed out ASAP.
6) There is no rating or pairing restriction. Everything from G-rated fluffy gen to NC-17 gay incestuous cross-dressing bestiality is permitted. (You saw who your moderators are, right?)
7) Fics must be at least 750 words in length. There is no maximum limit.
8) Fics must be spell-checked and preferably beta read. If you cannot find a beta (for either fic or art), we will be making a post to gather volunteers.
9) All fest creations must be emailed as a completed post in Word Doc format, with any necessary coding and the required header, to the Fest Mods at hp.april.fools@gmail.com by 21 March.
10) Hosting for artworks will be provided by ![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) pre_raphaelite1, unless you choose to use your own anonymous hosting. (We want the gifts to be a surprise!)
11) All posting will be done by the moderators to keep the gifts anonymous for the month.
12) Posting will begin 01 April and extend through the month. The frequency will be based on the number of received submissions.
13) All fest creations will be exclusive to hp_april_fools until the the names of their creators have been revealed at the end of the fest. Please do not post them anywhere else until then. Afterward, feel free to share and pimp.
14) If you cannot complete your assignment, email the moderators straightaway so that we can make other arrangements.
15) Any questions or concerns can be emailed to the moderators at hp.april.fools@gmail.com . |

| 2009 Header |
[Jan. 7th, 2009|05:44 pm] |
When preparing your post as a Word Doc to email to the Mods, please be sure to type in all the proper coding.
If you are hosting the image/images of your own art, please include the necessary coding [imgblahblah] for this. If you need us to host it for you, include the images as attachments to your email.
Also, you must include the following header:
We will remove your user name before posting your creation.
If you identify your beta(s) by name, we will remove those also, leaving behind only a first initial. We will edit it back in at the end of the fest after the reveal. |

Read our rules? Want to join the foolish exchange?
Then leave a comment to this post to sign up!
You must use the following format for signing up for hp_april_fools. Feel free to add comments to your original entry to make any necessary changes or additions.
Don't go completely crazy on details of your prompt requests, but give enough so your gifter has some things to work with. They are not obligated to use everything.
And finally, don't sign up if you aren't going to follow through with this. We know this is pushing people out of their comfort zone. That's the IDEA. But, we don't want want to have to chase slackers people down and thwack them. We will. But only we will enjoy it. We promise this is fun.
Sign ups are open until 31 January! Bring a friend! |
