Collarcorner Round 50 fanworks exchange planning
It's June! Let's get this party started! Or at least, let's get the party planning started.
(Which obviously needs an Elizabeth icon.)
When we discussed what to do for our 50th round, having some sort of fanworks exchange was the most popular, so that's what we'll do! I'm thinking that will take up most of the summer; after that we'll go back to regular prompting rounds.
The things that need to be determined are:
- Should we run it through AO3 or by hand-matching and posting in the community and/or our preferred choice of location? Because this fest is going to be small, I am leaning towards the latter one. An AO3 fest would be easier for me to mod, however.
- What dates? I am thinking signups should begin in a week or so; the question is how long should it run for.
- What kinds of fanworks should we allow?
My general plan for this, unless there are objections, is to have participants supply a few prompts (something like 3-6; you can choose prompts you've posted in the comm already, supply new ones, or a combination of both). We'd need some sort of plan for if your recipient couldn't deal with any of the prompts you gave them - maybe supply some general wants and do-not-wants in case none of the prompts work? But mostly I think it should be prompt-based.
I think the requirements for this one should be pretty small - 500 words for a fic, 1 finished piece of art of any size, 1 minute of vid perhaps (if we have vids). I'm honestly not expecting a lot of signups, probably less than 10, and the fact that they'd all be gen would make matching easier.
Anyway, how about a poll?
