Welcome to the Slings & Arrows ficathon!
Here’s how it works. You sign up with your name and email address, and give me a shopping list of two or three things that you want in your fic. You also tell me one thing you don’t think you can write. Simple as that.
Here’s mine, to copy and paste:
Name and LJ name: Raven (
loneraven)
Email address: iona.raven[at]gmail.com
Two or three things I want in my fic: Geoffrey chewing razor blades, mention of swans.
One thing I don’t want: Darren Nichols.
I can’t write: smut.
Can you be a back-up writer? Yep.
Sign-ups will be open from today, July 22nd, to July 27th. I will try to get assignments out by the 29th, possibly before.
If for whatever reason you sign up and can't make the deadline, the thing to do is to tell me. I won't be pissed off if only you tell me, so I can assign a back-up author and your recipient gets a story and everyone's happy. If you then get your story to me later, everyone's even happier. Just let me know.
Fics will be due on Saturday, September 1st at midnight BST, with a minimum word count of 1000 words. I will post a masterlist on my journal (
loneraven), where you can comment with links to where your fics are posted. Please try to get stories betaed if possible.
I think that’s it. If you have any questions, comment here or email me at iona.raven[at]gmail.com. Share and enjoy!
By which I mean, pimp it to all your friends, 'cause if no-one signs up, I will cry. And I just read HP and I have had quite enough of that...
