Church of Lemons 2012!
Hello everyone!
I'm here to annouce another year of the Church of Lemons fanworks contest event!!! This year once again Bleach has made the list of participating fandoms. What is Church of Lemons, you ask?
CoL is a no pressure, fun contest like event where you can contribute fanwork of the smexy variety featuring a het pairing of your choice, from a predetermined list of fandoms. We are a long running comm here at LJ known as lemon_church, as well as a ML on yahoo. Each year we put together the Church of Lemons contest to celebrate our favorite Gundam pairing, Heero and Relena of Gundam Wing. We also add other fandoms to the mix to share the love! I'm very excited to name Bleach as a participating fandom this year, as I know we have a lot of new talent in the ichiruki comm!
The rules are under the cut!
TO PARTICIPATE:Must be 18 or over! This is the internet and we are not your mom!
Church of Lemons runs from February 7th, 2012 to March 7th, 2012. To participate, you will pick a date you want to submit your entry. That will be your pledge date. On your pledge date, you will submit your entry.
Mediums accepted:
You can submit a fanfiction or a fanart. If you submit fanfiction your fic MUST contain a lemon. If you submit a fanart, your fanart MUST have a sexy vibe. There is NO WORD LIMIT. Write away, my lovelies!
Fandoms Accepted:
GUNDAM WING (of course)
Bleach
Full Metal Alchemist
Other fandoms will be considered on a case by case basis ONLY. You can submit as many Gundam Wing pledges as you want- the more the merrier!- However, since this IS a Gundam Wing ML, you may submit only ONE non-Gundam Wing pledge. If you want to submit more, you must write/draw a Gundam Wing pledge.
EXAMPLE: Writer writes a 1xR. They may also submit a Bleach or FMA fic, but if they want to submit a second Non-gundam fic they MUST write another Gundam fic for a total of four pledges.
EXAMPLE 2: Artist submits a smokin' IchiRuki. If they want to submit another IchiRuki, they must also do a Gundam pledge for a total of three pledges.
PAIRING RESTRICTIONS:
Any het from the additional fandoms is ok.
NO BREAKING UP 1xR. That also means NO 1xRx2 people!
Any het that DOES NOT break up 1xR from Gundam Wing is allowed
FURTHER RESTRICTIONS:
NO YAOI/YURI. This is an all-het event. No offense, a good yaoi is always a welcome treat but for the Church of Lemons, HET ONLY.
NO Genderbending. Goes with the Het rule.
NO Loli/Shota
NO Incest
NO pairings involving original characters/canon characters
PLEASE place a warning for really kinky stuff (ie bloodplay, etc)
POSTING RULES:
PLEASE do not post anywhere outside the ML until AFTER the Church of Lemons is over.
Pledging equals consent to have your fic/art posted on the Church of Lemons livejournal and mailing list archives UNLESS you explicitly state otherwise.
So HOW DO I POST?
If you have a Yahoo:
join us at the church of lemons through Yahoo groups!
If you do not have a Yahoo:
NO WORRIES! The mods (me and Omni) will post for you. Just email your submission to churchoflemons@gmail.com. We will post on your behalf and forward any reviews you get!
WAIT WAIT MG, What if I miss my pledge date?
Not to worry! Though we may playfully give you a hard time, you can still pledge during our all forgiving Week of Rapture, which runs from March 8th to the 15th.
