Lyrics Fanfiction Challenge: Update
Updated June 4
By now, if you signed up here by midnight of June 2/3, you should have received your challenge in the email you provided me. If you haven't, please email me ASAP at fairy (dot) mage (at) yahoo (dot) com.
If you have any friends that still want to participate, send them to the original post to sign up (link above).
Now that you're all ready to get started, here are a couple more details about submitting fics.
-Please, do not publicly post your fic before the assigned completion date, August 4. This is just to ensure fairness in the judging. Publicly post means that I would prefer that if you do post, you keep it marked "private" so only you can read it. However, f-locked is also fine. What I'm primarily trying to do is keep things under wraps for my judges, so that they get all the fics at one time (so they have about an equal amount of time to read and consider them, and there aren't too many comments to sway their opinions, etc.).
This also has to do with the fact that there is no central place for posting, i.e. a community. Anyway. Please? I know I sound crazy, but bear with me.
-When you are finished, send me an email with the following information:

Link to fic:
-I intentionally did not give you the song or artist of the lines. If you want the information to help you write your fic, email me. Otherwise, be creative! Anonymity makes it more interesting.
-I will create a final directory of fics, including the above information and the song from which the line you chose came, August 5.
-You are welcome to use more than one line in a fic (you get bonus cookies from me!) or write more than one fic. The judges and I are currently discussing fairness in judging in those cases, but none of us have objections to you doing it.
Thank you desdemona_marx and theemdash for your questions!
Happy writing everyone, and good luck!
