First, I'd like to thank everyone who participated in this year's fest. I think we had a great showing for a first year!
There will probably be a few more stragglers popping up on the list, but I don't expect too many. If you see any fics I've left off or mistyped in some way, let me know so I can fix it.

Just a reminder that you have two more days to post your work to the comm before the fest closes!
Late submissions will be accepted, but may not make it into the master list right away. I'll put the list up on December 26th, so be sure to post before then! |

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. |

Hiya! I'm sure you're all busy writing fantastic fics for the fest. I just wanted to remind you that posting begins in two weeks on November 30th. Participants can post their fics and art to the community any time between then and December 25th. If you're having any issues, please feel free to contact me at the comm email address: santas.lap at gmail.com. I will be away on vacation until Nov. 27th, but I'll still be occasionally checking email. |

Got a chan scenario you'd love to see written or drawn? Now's your chance to make it a part of santas_lap! Below is a poll for suggesting prompts or scenarios that participants will choose from in the fest.
Anyone can submit prompts/scenarios! You don't have to participate in the fest in order to suggest a prompt. In fact, the more people who do so, the more diversity our participants will have to choose from, so tell friends! Pimp far and wide!
The prompts should be situations, scenes, or words that you think would be an interesting jumping off point for a participant. They can include characters but they should not include pairings.
Feel free to make up to 5 suggestions.
The suggestions poll will remain up until September 9th, at which point I'll compile all the responses for the claims post that will go up on September 10th.
ETA: Prompt suggestions finished! Thanks to everyone who suggested a prompt! |
