[announcement] 2nd draft deadline ends!
The main mod reporting for duty here. Between trying to finish the thesis report and being mauled by a new fandom, finally I have the time to take care of this challenge. Thank you for kupodesu who've taken over the duty the past weeks.
The second draft deadline has ended just now. Thank you for everyone for the finished draft submissions. For those who asked for extension, please submit them by the extension date we have given you. Any later than that, then we are very sorry to let you go.
We are very happy with the result of your submissions. Many have even submitted over 10k words of story. We are ecstatic. :DDD
We currently only have less than 20 drafts and there is one artist who has already submitted their finished/final artworks. Some writers have dropped out along with their artists. It's a little bit stressing to see many dropped out, but I guess it's inevitable for some. For those who have dropped out, thank you for signing up and we hope to see you again next year (in a better arranged time schedule and rules).
For those who forgot that the deadline was on August 21st midnight PST, you have two days to submit them. ;D
And now onto important matters:
For writers:
Writers please make sure that you send your second draft to your artist partner. We will not send the draft to the artist for you. If your artist has dropped out and we haven't arranged a new one for you, inform us immediately and we shall see if we could get one. Remember everyone, EVERY WRITER FOR THEMSELVES.
You have 38 days to polish your story, embed the html tags, and make it the best fic you’ve ever written. Make sure that you put all the html tags correctly since we will only c/p the draft as it is and will not edit any mistake for you.
The technicalities/details for final submission will be announced around the second week of September or after the work in progress deadline for artist passes.
For artists:
Artists, if your writer hasn’t send you their finished story draft, contact them immediately and ask for one. You have until September 11th, 2010 on midnight PST to submit your work in progress art(s). We will accept any number of art(s). One or two or even five, as long as you submit one. Please see this post here for more on the technicalities of the submission.
General information:
If some of you are wondering how we will post your fics and arts by the time the challenge is completed on October 10th 2010, here’s the shiny not-so-detail information:
1. We have made an archive website for this challenge since it’s impossible to post over 10.000 words fic using LJ and we more like I don’t want to use Dreamwidth. It’s still under-construction but you can see it here: http://hetaliaminibang.web.fc2.com/index.html
2. All stories and arts will be archived there and when we complete the challenge, we (the mods) will post a masterlist in this community. The masterlist will include the links to the stories and arts and also the writers and artists.
3. We again more like I are planning to compile all the stories and arts into one big online Hetalia anthology fanbook. If all goes well and every participant is in favour of this plan, we will release the downloadable .pdf file on October 10th in the celebratory post (with the masterlist).
4. There will hopefully be banners for all who completed this challenge. :D
All details for final submission and the final release of the archive website will be announced around September 12th or 13th. Watch out for it.
Thank you for your attention! If you have any question, as per usual ask away!
