Match-Up Post

This is where writers, artists, and beta-readers find other people to work in teams with. Here's how this works:

✗ This match-up post is open until September 15, 2011. You're free to post ads and find teammates until then.

✗ Keep in mind that a team can have no more than one writer, two artists, and one beta-reader. Less is okay.

✗ Writers:
  • If you post here, you can't back out anymore. Leaving an ad here means you're willing to have other people depend on you to do your share of the work. Don't comment until you're sure that you want to follow through with the big bang. (And if you do drop, please let us know?)
  • Similarly, you're under no obligation to post here. There's nothing wrong with wanting to work alone.
  • All comments you leave on this post should be anonymous.
  • To start, leave an anonymous comment on this post advertising your story. (It's okay if a lot of the information you have is tenuous/open to change. Just do your best.)
  • Here's a form for your convenience:
    Title:
    Verse: (anime, games (generation?), manga (series?), etc.; specifics = better)
    Rating:
    Characters/Pairings:
    Notes:
    Summary: (You can use as many of these sections as you want and reorganize them as you please, but please use *one* at least!)
    Snippet: (If you choose to post a fic snippet, please post only ONE sample, and please try to keep it to 200 words or less.)
    A/N:
    Artists: (leave notes to any interested artists here.)
    Beta-readers: (anything potential betas should know?)
✗ Artists and beta-readers:
  • First of all, please make sure your PMs are on. (Go to edit profile, scroll down to "Contact Info," look for "LJ User Messaging," and check if it's set to "Registered Users.")
  • Once that's done, browse through the story ads! Feel free to ask questions, if you'd like (anonymous or not, your call). You can only pick one story to work on, so choose wisely!
            ✗ This is a drama-free zone. Be excellent to each other!
  • If you decide that you want to join a team, leave a SIGNED-IN reply on the ad that uses the subject header "ARTIST/BETA-READER CLAIM" (whichever applies to you).
  • Don't feel obligated to take on a project. If nothing appeals to you, that's okay.
  • Remember this is first-come, first-serve. If you see that there are already two artists on a project or another beta-reader on a project, scroll on by.
✗ Writers will then PM the claiming artists and beta-readers to talk/plan privately. At this point you can exchange contact information (e-mail, IM, etc.) if you wish.

✗ If, during these initial talks, it becomes clear that a match-up isn't clicking, that's fine. Just delete your claim on the story's ad. This signals that there is now a spot free for other interested parties.

✗ As you can see, a lot of this is nebulous-therefore, please keep checking this post! As time goes on, new story ads may be posted, spaces may open up on stories you were interested in, and new claims may be made. Just keep looking.

✗ Questions or comments? Please drop us a line.

There are currently 31 writers, 16 artists, and 12 beta-readers.
