official author sign-ups!
This is the first of two posts going up today! All of the details you need to officially sign-up (aka, turning in your rough draft!) can be found in this post. Remember that you have to turn in your rough draft sometime between today and June 13th at midnight (PST). We’ve only received one submission so far and we’re looking forward to more! If your fic is going to be late, tell us now so we can work something out.
1. Make sure that your rough draft meets all of the requirements. Check that the appropriate characters are the focus of your fic, use the proper rating for the subject matter you included in your fic, and triple check the word count! (It needs to be at least 20,000 words!) Basically, just review all of the rules and the author section of the FAQ. Remember that your fic doesn’t need to be beta-read yet. It just needs to be complete enough for us to read (aka, it has a beginning, middle, and end).
2. Once your ready to submit your fic, you need to send it to the community's email, which is marauder.mods@gmail.com. Take a look at this question in FAQ: Tell me how I should format this darn thing, so I can send it in! It will provide you with all of the details you need to know to send your fic to us.
3. Please include your fic’s header in the document and in the body of the email. For the header, something like this would be great:
Title:
Author:
Pairing/Characters:
Genre:
Rating/Warnings:
Word Count:
Summary:
To help the artists, we’re asking the authors to provide us with four or five scenes that they’d like an artist to consider illustrating. Remember, there is no guarantee that an artist will be inspired by one of the scenes the author chooses and they are not required to illustrate those specific scenes, but it’s a good starting point for them.
4. After you’ve sent the email, please leave a comment with the following information. (I know it seems a little redundant, but it helps us keep track of submissions.)
Name/Username:
Email:
Have you turned 18 since the preliminary sign-ups?:
Do you have your own beta/are you finding your own beta or would you like us to pair you up with one?:
Comments are screened! And if I’m forgetting anything or you have you any questions, let me know! :)
