The Summer Hallows Jumble Rules Post
Let it never be said that metamorfic_moon members go on holiday from our favorite couple -- we're tickled bubblegum pink at your response to our suggestion of a summer fic and art event. You're a lot of Hufflepuffs, aren't you? ;)
It's with great excitement that we announce the Summer Hallows Jumble, which promises to be a truly special event, not least of all because we have very special guest mod: let's give a warm welcome to the lovely shimotsuki!
With a fresh face on our team (and lots of fresh faces among our members -- and we welcome you all, too!) we've also got a fresh take on the Meta Jumble. Here's everything you need to know to participate:
1. Dates: 1 August - 31 August
2. Post a comment to this thread signing up for fic, art, or both. Sign-ups will run through Sunday, 8 August.
3. Be sure to join the community as a member so we can give you posting access, and watch the community, too! Remember that by joining the community, you agree to abide by the community rules, so please familiarize/re-familiarize yourself with them!
4. On Sunday, 1 August, we'll post the prompt assignments as a reply to your sign-up comment. You will receive three prompts (six if you sign up for fic and art) from the following categories: genre, magical, and Deathly Hallows.
5. You'll have the entire month to write/draw and post as many submissions to the community as you are so inspired by your prompts.
6. You only have to use one prompt per submission, but you can of course incorporate any and all of them if you'd like a more Ravenclaw-like challenge!
7. There is no minimum or maximum length requirement; drabbles and epics alike are welcome, as are multi-chaptered fics.
8. That's how the Jumble works, but as always, the community content rules also apply.
A. Time: You can set your fic, drabble, or art in any time period you like, it certainly doesn't have be set in the summer or take place during Deathly Hallows. You can also make them AU if you want to, as long as you indicate this in the summary.
B. Prompts: You are free to interpret the prompts however you like, but the prompts must be utilized, and not merely mentioned. For example, if one of your prompts is the word “Grindylow”, then your story might include Teddy and Remus hunting for Grindylows, not just mentioning that Remus read Teddy a book about Grindylows - it’s got to play a part.
C. Content:
Relationships
Previous het relationships are permitted as backstory, but no Remus/Anybody or Tonks/Anybody may be depicted within the actual story -- only mentioned as background information (sorry, no flashbacks to the characters' Hogwarts days).
Multicolored Werepups
One of the nicer things about Deathly Hallows was the appearance of a turquoise-haired addition to the family. Obviously he's more than welcome to make an appearance in your fic or art but, again, we're an R/T community, not a Teddy community, so submissions to metamorfic_moon events are required to feature Remus and Tonks physically present in the story as the major protagonists, contributing to the main action and/or dialogue. If you're writing or drawing AU, the same applies, even if you're extending their family, or have gone forwards in time to the epilogue, for example, and fancy having a crack at how R/T are coping with life with a grown-up son... ;)
Art
Manipulations are not accepted here, but you may work in any media you choose, provided the images are your own original work. (References are okay!)
Unsuitable Content
NC-17 submissions will be accepted entirely at the discretion of the moderators. Under no circumstances will we accept bestiality or incest, and other strong themes will be considered for appropriateness.
D. Writers' Ratings: All ratings accepted (including NC-17), so long as appropriate warnings are listed in post information outside the lj-cut. You can find a ratings guide here. Please note the following equivalents:
K=G
K+=PG
T= PG13
M=R
MA=NC-17
Artists’ Ratings: Any media, rating up to R (so no graphic nudity or explicit sexual scenes, please), but the focus of the piece should be Remus/Tonks, with or without Teddy. Appropriate warnings should be listed in the post information outside the lj-cut.
E. Plagiarism:
Plagiarism is not tolerated at metamorfic_moon. If we find that work posted here is not the work of the member, either because it is taken from another fic writer or fanartist, or because it is the manipulated work of a published writer or artist, the submission will be deleted from the community, and at the moderators' discretion, the member may be banned from the community.
If you have any questions, ask here or email the mods at the address on our FAQ page. In the mean time, sign up, tell a friend, and get ready for R/T summer fun!
