The Voldemort Fest

Hello all!

Just a quick reminder that tomorrow is the last day to sign up for the 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 claiming the prompts, please use the following template:

<b>LJ 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.

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

The time has come for another round of Tom/Voldemort goodness. The fest will consist, as usual, of two parts: anonymous art/fic exchange and prompt-based ficathon.

Call for prompts: 01 - 07 June
Sign-ups: 08 - 15 June
Assignments out: 17 June
Submission deadline: 30 August
Posting starts: 06 September

The rules and further details will be posted soon.

I am looking for a person/people who would take over the exchange. As the previous year has proved, I'm not able to both participate and run it, and I'd like to participate very much. Only serious offers, please. Being a mod mostly means work and responsibility, and not glory. Email me at orpheus_on_samhain_night@yahoo.co.uk

Our 2009 round has come to an end and now it's time to reveal who our participants were.
