Good evening, everyone! *drum roll*
The Santa's Lap Fest is officially open!
The fest will run between now (November 30th) and December 25th, so feel free to post your fics or art at any point during that time.
The following are guidelines for posting your work to the fest comm. Please read 'em and follow 'em; it makes me a very, very happy mod.
- Submissions must be posted on the community itself (no links to personal journals) and are exclusive to the community until the fest is complete and the master list is posted. Please don't post your submissions elsewhere on the internet until the fest is over!
- In the subject line, please include whether your submission is fic or art, the title, and the pairing. For example: Fic: The Games We Play (SS/HP, SS/RL).
- All fest submissions must be posted with the following header template:
Title:
Author:
Pairing(s):
Rating:
Warnings (if any):
Summary:
Prompt:
Author Note (if any):
- A chan warning is assumed on all submissions throughout the fest, so you do not need to warn explicitly for it; however, you must still warn for anything else (e.g., non-con, abuse, character death, incest, etc.). Whited-out (i.e., 'highlight to show') warnings are fine if you would like to give readers the option of not looking.
- All submissions should be cut tagged. Only the header should remain outside the cut tag. If you don't know how to do a cut tag, email me for help or read the instructions here.
- Please turn off all weird Microsoft Word auto-format options. This includes Smart Quotes and automatic dash fixes. (Options to turn these off are in the Tools/AutoCorrect Options/Auto Format As You Type tab.) They play havoc on IJ posts and it's just cleaner to have them off.
- Fics must be beta read. If you are having trouble finding a beta, please let the me know and I'll see what I can dig up.
If you have a long fic that is in need of off-comm hosting, it can be emailed to me via the mod account (santas.lap at gmail.com) and will be hosted on my website until the fest is over.
I'm happy to answer any questions you have. Contact me by email or here in the comments. |
