Saturday Special: July 4.0
banner by renrenren3
Rules:
1. You must use the prompt below
2. You will have 48 hours to submit your work. Fics or art must be posted by 11:59pm UTC on Sunday, July 22 (Timezone Converter)
3. For the underlying piece, point calculations shall follow the regular Sugarquill point schedule (word/30; quality of art). However, per the (b) exception to Rule 3, Rule 3(b)(1) Saturday Specials are not subject to the cap. They are a bonus challenge worth 10 extra points and added at the end of the month. Meaning, while the underlying work may only extend upward to the 125 point ceiling, the 10-point bonus for participating in a Saturday Special may exceed 125 (unlike normal challenge bonuses that are calculated in conjunction with the underlying piece and subject to the 125 restraints). So, for example, you can post 92 points this week, post a Saturday Special story worth 33 points (which would be the minimum at 1000/30), reach 125 for the week AND then get an additional 10 points (for a total of 135) for doing the Saturday Special. The 10 extra points will be noted on the spreadsheet.
4. Your work must meet the following minimum requirements to get those lovely bonus points:
Writing: 500 words!
Art: Finished - Good or better
5. Do not add the 10 extra points yourself. I will do it for you. Think of this as a "no challenge" piece. :)
6. Label your submission with "July 4.0" somewhere in the subject line AND use the "!saturday special" tag.
7. Please post your submissions per the standard formatting requirements of all Sugarquill posts.
8. Feel free to ask questions in the comments below!
