Right, so we're 48 hours from D-Day, but before the festivities start in earnest, I'm hijacking the community for a moment to do a little pimping for those of you who are fans of Sirius Black:

| THE RULES | FAQ | AUTHOR SIGN-UPS | ARTIST SIGN-UPS | BETA SIGN-UPS |

bigbangblackout is a Sirius-centric fest which will feature longer fanfic and accompanying art. Any and all non-crossover Sirius pairings are welcome - het or slash - as well as non-pairing gen, as long as they're Sirius-centric. If you're interested, please come over and check out the community at the links provided above.

We now return you to hp_springsmut which begins posting in approximately 47 hours and 44 minutes. :)

We're getting down to the wire! Here's a few last minute things you need to know:

1. All fanart will be posted at IJ with a 'pointer post' (header + link) at LJ. Yes, LJ is more lenient now, but the TOS is still about as clear as mud. In the end, the 'safety' of our fanartists trumps convenience. Comments will be enabled at both LJ and IJ.

2. All stories will be posted at both IJ AND LJ with comments also enabled at both.

However...

( 2a. For authors who have issues with Livejournal... )

We know some people don't like having their comments in two separate places, however, it would seem that a large percentage of readers and watchers (and fellow participants) prefer to have the option of where to leave feedback. It is with that consideration that we decided to enable commenting at both venues. And look on the bright side - you might get more feedback that way.

( 3. For those of you who have received extensions... )

4. With regard to posting, it is our policy that we will not post fic or art for a participant until they have submitted their own contribution. Please keep this in mind before asking us why your submission hasn't been posted yet! Also, since this is a fest that includes slash, het and fem(me)slash, and fic and art both, we try to alternate between these genres (as well as spacing out similar pairings) when posting, so hopefully there will be something that appeals to everyone on any given day.

5. Posting begins on Saturday night/Sunday morning - March 1 at midnight, Eastern Standard Time - and will continue throughout March 'til the 31st. All stories and art submitted will be posted regardless of whether the original recipient has dropped out.

Most days, there will be three fics or art posted - Eastern Standard Time (GMT -5) at midnight, 8:00 a.m., and 4:00 p.m. On some days, there will be two posts, and they'll go up at midnight and noon Eastern. As of now we are expecting to have @ 82 fics and art to post.

Once again, we have an amazing variety of stories and art, and we're really excited about posting them! Plenty of smut, which is why our fest is called springSMUT. There's PWP, EWE, cross-gen, next-gen, AU, incest, slash, fem(me)slash, het, threesomes, vanilla smut, kinky smut, plotty smut, and a whole lot more! Including a number of new rare and even unusual pairs, which makes us very happy!

And last but not least:

6. Feedback! Mmmmmm! Feedback! Feedback is ♥ love ♥, and rare pairs get so little love as it is. Watchers/readers, please remember to let the participants know you appreciate their story or art! Participants, we will remind you of the old adage, "it is better to give than to receive". If you expect people to leave comments for you, it is courteous to do the same in return. A fest is a community, and it works best when you participate beyond your own submission. Please support your fellow participants! Also, we hate that we have to remind you, but we do ask that you thank the person who has written or drawn specifically for you.

Thank you in advance to all of our participants and all of our watchers and readers! As always, we can be reached at springsmutmods@gmail.com

Five days and counting!

Just a quick reminder to all first-time participants:

Fics and art are due this coming Sunday, February 8th.

(Springsmut veterans (i.e. those who have previously participated in Springsmut in past years) still have another week.)

As far as what time on the 8th, we're flexible and we're not going to quibble over whether you hand it in by midnight your time or ours - both of your lovely mods live on the east coast of the US (GMT -5) - as long as it's February 8th somewhere, it's fine. (Preferably on this planet. :-P)

All fics must be betaed and formatted correctly with whatever html tags your story requires. (bold, italics, center, blockquote, etc.) Headers templates for both fic and art can be found HERE. Please use them!

Artists, please do not sign your artwork. After the reveal in early April you can edit your piece to include your signature/mark, and we will redirect the links.

Also, please send all fics as an attachment, not as text in the email. Artists, you may send a link if you have your picture uploaded to your own server, but please make sure it's not uploaded to a publicized, searchable gallery - like your LJ scrapbook - associated with your name! (But remember, we need to be able to see it, so making it private doesn't work either!) I will re-upload the art to my server for posting regardless, so no need to make a new anon account anywhere. Preferred formats are .jpg, .png and .gif files.

When submitting, please indicate in the title of your email that it is your submission and who it's for, as well as your own LJ name: "Fic Submission - midnitemaraud_r for nqdonne" or similar.

For those of you who have already sent in your submissions, thank you! If you have sent in your submission and have not received a confirmation email back, please contact us ASAP!

As always, we can be reached at springsmutmods@gmail.com both by email and g-talk.

Thank you!

We're approaching deadline, and thought it would be a good idea to post the pinch hitter sign-ups :D This is for anybody itching to write or draw some fabulous rare pairs -- if we end up with an open spot and your interests match, we may call upon you to step up. Exciting, right? :P

The most important section to fill out is the for the gift you will be giving field, so please pay special attention to that section. (though a thorough list of what you want to receive is always useful for pairing pinch hitters with orphaned assignments)

Please fill in all required fields. Unless a field says "optional," it's required. Make sure to provide a working email address - we would prefer you don't use @ livejournal addresses.

Sign-up on the LJ post

Thank you!

To our 2009 Springsmut participants:

This is just a friendly reminder that all fics and art are due on Sunday, February 8, 2009 for first time participants and Sunday, February 15, 2009 for Springsmut veterans, which is, respectively TWO and THREE WEEKS FROM YESTERDAY!

Below the cut you will find the submission header formats for both artists and authors. Please copy and paste the header into your submission email (and don't forget to fill it out!) Authors, if you could also put it at the top of your stories, we would appreciate that simply because it makes it easier for us. We will remove your names for posting. When thanking betas, please use initials, not names. We can edit your notes for you after the reveal if you request it.

Also:

1. Authors: Please check your html tags! The best way to do this that I've found is to make a PRIVATE post to myself in my own LJ. (please note the PRIVATE part! Very important!) If you have italic, bold or underlined text (or hr lines or centered text, etc.) in your story, you must use html tags. We will not add them in for you.

1a. Authors whose stories are longer than @ 10,500 words or those that otherwise do not fit into a single LJ/IJ post: We will be uploading all long stories to a separate website, and link back and forth to the specific posts. If your story fits into this category and you can send us a version with the italics/bold/underline/center etc already embedded (i.e. without html tags) that would be a big help. (You will want to keep a file copy WITH tags for later posting, so this should be a second version) If not, I will reformat the tags when I upload, but otherwise if you can, as I said, it would be helpful.

1b. We'll also host the art as well. After the reveal in April, you can post them to whichever archive and send us the new link so we can edit the post and redirect the link to your site.

2. Please turn off smart quotes!

( How to turn them off in MS Word )

3. Please do not send your story as text in an email: Send it as an attached file. .doc is preferred, but .rtf and .txt docs are fine, too! Also, if you have a newer version of MS Word, please do not send .docx files. I (Lisa) can't open them. Please re-save it as the older .doc format.

( How to convert .docx to .doc: )

4. Artists: Please remember not to sign your artwork. After the reveal you can edit your work to add your mark/signature.

( Headers are below the cut )

If you have any questions or problems, please do not hesitate to contact us at springsmutmods@gmail.com!

Thanks!

Over on Live Journal, we've put up our beta resource post, asking for volunteers who would be interested in betaing for our participants for this year's fest. Anon comments are enabled if you don't have a livejournal. If you are able and willing to beta at least one story or art, or are in need of a beta for your hp_springsmut story or art, please head over there.

Beta Resource Post

Thanks!

Hello everyone!

Assignments were sent out Monday night. If you did not receive one, please comment or email us (springsmutmods@gmail).

Also, every year we ask people who are not attached to their assignments to let us know if they're flexible. We rarely have to switch things around, but when we do, it helps to know who doesn't yet have bunnies biting :D Comment here if you are flexible, if you haven't already let us know via email.

It has come to our attention, that some of you may already be done or nearly done (!!!). We mods are GOBSMACKED, but also very pleased :D You can refer to last year's submission headers until we post the ones for this year. Honestly, they won't change much!

A pinch hitter sign-up post, and a beta resource post will go up in the coming weeks.

You all are incredible, and we are looking forward to this year's fest!

NQ & Lisa

Hello everyone.

Just a helpful note -- due to a very much unplanned mod illness, assignments happened a bit later than planned. They're done now, however, and you will all receive them tomorrow (Monday, EST).

We're sorry for the wait!

Cheers!
NQ & Lisa

Just a quick note:

Signups are now closed - thanks to all of you who are participating! Some really great requests this year!

Which brings me to assignments. We hope to have them all out by Friday, Dec. 26th, barring extreme weather which interferes with internet connections. (White Christmas is lovely - stormy, icy Christmas, not so much!)

If you are going to be away for the holidays and unable to access your email next weekend, please drop us a comment here and let us know! (Or you can always email us) When assignments go out, it's important that you reply and acknowledge receipt, and we'd rather not have multiple panic attacks, worrying that there was a glitch in the email system. If we know you're away, we'll just panic less. :)

If you need to edit your signup, please do it sooner rather than later. We print them out for assignment purposes, and if you discover on Tuesday that you forgot to say you won't write/draw Harry, for example, that could be a problem. Also, please do not delete your original signup comment if you need to edit! (If you had done so previously, that's fine. I just mean for now and in the future.) If you don't have a paid account or are unable to edit the comment itself, simply reply to your initial comment with whatever addendum you wish to add.

As always, feel free to contact us via comment, IM, G-chat or email (springsmutmods@gmail.com) if you have any questions or problems.

Wishing you all a very joyous holiday season - whichever one(s) you celebrate!

Sign-ups are a go! We are so excited for this year's fest, and we hope you all are to! Please read the rules thoroughly - a few things have changed this year, including rules about pairings - and then comment to the LJ post with your sign-up information.

( The Rules )

People who dropped out of Springsmut 2008 but gave timely notice are welcome to sign up, but if you bailed at the last minute or went MIA, you will not be permitted to participate.

Please fill in all required fields. Unless a field says "optional," it's required. Make sure to provide a working email address - we would prefer you don't use @ livejournal addresses. Feel free to amend your request either by editing it, as a comment to your original comment or by deleting and reposting as long as sign-ups remain open.

Also, please remember to include art-friendly prompts if you are asking to or okay to receive art! If you put that you are good to receive either, and we assign you to an artist, it is very difficult for them when all they see are fic prompts :D

<b>Pen Name (LJ/IJ names):</b> <b>Email Address:</b> <b>Are you over 18, and have you read the guidelines?</b> <b>You'll be giving: (Art or Fic)</b> <b>You'd like: (Art, Fic or No Preference)</b> <b>Four to six pairings you would like:</b> <b>Kinks, likes, genres, or special requests for the fic/art:</b> <b>Squicks/Dislikes (including epilogue/Next Gen preferences):</b> <b>Two or three prompts for your gift (optional):</b> <b>What pairings/characters/eras you absolutely refuse to write/draw:</b> <b>What kinks/genres/situations you absolutely refuse to write/draw:</b> <b>The LJ name/email of someone you trust, in case your giver has questions (optional):</b> <b>Have you participated in Springsmut before? If so, who have you previously written/drawn for?:</b>

We encourage you to list as many kinks/squicks as you can think of in order to help guide both us in your assignments and your writer/artist in their writing/drawing, but want to note that you are in no way obligated to write/draw every single one! We'd just like a happy medium between your listing enough specific information for us to go on and your writer/artist being able to pick and choose the few things that work for their bunny. In the same vein, please try to include a variety of rare pairs, per the NEW rule 11, detailed above. We love minor characters, too, but if your sign-up requests are too obscure - and all similar - we're going to have a problem matching you. Just a note! :D

There is a participant cap of 90, so sign-up quickly to reserve your spot. Sign-ups will close December 19th or when we reach 90. Whichever comes first.

SIGN-UP OVER ON LJ

*blows off dust and cobwebs*

And once again, it's that time of year when, utterly frantic from last-minute holiday shopping and fest writing, you pause for a moment and think, "Why yes! Signing up for another fest is exactly what I need to combat these holiday blues!"

Well, you're in luck! Sign-ups for Springsmut 2009 will begin shortly!

Like last year, we will be double-posting to LiveJournal and InsaneJournal, with comments enabled at both sites, though for the continued safety of our wonderful fanartists and despite LiveJournal's more tolerant stance as of late, fanart will be posted solely at InsaneJournal, and linked from LiveJournal. For those authors at InsaneJournal who do not wish their fic to be posted at LiveJournal for personal reasons, we will once again accommodate your requests, but we will still provide a link to your work in a LiveJournal post.

For those new to the community, please note that the community settings at LiveJournal are "explicit adult content." If you wish to join, you no longer need to request membership, simply click to join on the profile page. (If you are prohibited from joining for any reason, then you need to check your Date of Birth status for your journal. You must be 18 years of age to join. We're afraid we can't help you with that. Sorry.)

A few things to note:

1. The Sign-ups will be at LiveJournal only. We apologize to InsaneJournal-only users, but it's easier for us to keep them all in one location. If this is a problem for you, please let us know! Anonymous commenting is enabled, and we'll work with you where necessary. You must be 18 years of age before March 1, 2009 in order to participate in Springsmut.

2. We will cross-post all admin/mod posts to both communities.

3. Sign ups will begin on Sunday, December 14, 2008, and run until Friday, December 19, 2008, or capped at 90 participants, whichever comes first.

4. Assignments will go out before the end of the year, probably around Christmas, like last year.

5. Submissions will be due on February 8, 2009 and February 15, 2009. We will be staggering the due dates as follows: First- (new) and second-timers' fics and art will be due on February 8, 2009, and those who have previously participated in Springsmut two or more times will have a due date of February 15, 2009.

6. Posting will begin on March 1, 2009 at midnight and will run for the entire month.

**

If you have any questions at all, or any opinions you wish to express regarding any of the above, please do so. We want to hear from you!

Please do not sign up here. There will be a separate post for that. This post is informational only!

As always, we can be reached via comments to this entry or at springsmutmods@gmail.com

Hope you're all enjoying the holiday season, and looking forward to a Smut-tastic Spring!

Hello everyone! By now, all the author/artist names have been added to the entries, but for a quicker reference, here is the master list:

( FIC )


( ART )

Participants, you are now free to repost your submissions wherever you wish.

Artists, please add your signature/marks to your art and send me a link of where you are hosting it and we will update the links. For those of you whose stories were too long for one LJ/IJ post and I am hosting it on my server, please send us a link of where your story is reposted and I will update your posts accordingly.

For those who have not yet done so, we can't stress this enough: Please thank the person who wrote or drew for you! We can't force to you to, but it's a matter of common courtesy. Everyone worked very hard and silence is a huge disappointment. (And yes, we've kept track. I'm anal that way.)

Once again, thank you to all of our participants, watchers, pinch hitters and general helpers! You were all marvelous, and we thank you for your contributions! ♥ ♥

We hope you all enjoyed the fest this year, and hopefully we'll see you again in 2009!

Springsmut Mods

And...in the immortal words of Porky Pig, That's All, Folks! Springsmut 2008 is officially over!

This year we had 101 submissions: 81 fic posts, 18 art posts, and 2 posts which were both fic and art. Not too shabby!

We'd like to thank all of our participants this year, authors and artists alike; the talent and creativity, and just the sheer amount of entertainment you've provided us all with this month has been absolutely amazing, and we thank you all for your efforts! We literally couldn't have done it without all of you. ♥ ♥

To all of our watchers, we thank you for coming along for the ride, and we hope you enjoyed all of the fabulous and diverse rare pair stories and art posted!

The "Big Reveal" will be on Friday, April 4th, sometime in the early evening (Eastern time) at which time you'll all be free to post your stories and art on your journals, websites and whichever archives you wish.

Until then, we hope you'll take some time to catch up on things you might have missed. All entries are tagged by pairing and type (fic/art, slash/het/femmeslash, threesome), and you can search the community by tags here. We really had a tremendous variety of characters and pairings, including, to our delight, a goodly number of Deathly Hallows-compliant submissions. Please take the time to show these wonderful artists and authors your appreciation!

Once again a reminder to participants to please remember to thank the person who wrote/drew for you. We hate to harp on this point, but one of the biggest disappointments in any fest is when the person you took the time to write/draw for doesn't acknowledge your efforts. Thank you.

A most grateful thank you to blamebrampton, inksheddings and reddwarfer for their assistance in helping us post!

And finally, our heartfelt gratitude to our extraordinary and totally awesome pinch hitters: snegurochka_lee, inksheddings, screamingveela, lady_green_bat, wook77, ships_harry and ericahpfa! You ladies are all ♥! Also thank you to florahart for being on standby, and we're glad you don't hate us. :-P

Thanks again, everyone! Happy Spring, and enjoy the Smut!
