2013 SPF: Bonus Week!

Sep 15, 2013 10:44

Thanks to everyone who participated in our main round! We have a wonderful variety of work and talent, as usual. Main round posting is now closed, but today marks the beginning of the bonus week! Who can post during the bonus week? Guidelines are as follows:

  • Anyone who was unable to post during their assigned week may post their work during the bonus week.
  • Anyone at all can choose any of the as-yet unfilled prompts (from the list provided below) and post their fills during the bonus week. There's no claiming required; just pick one, fill it, and post away. There's also no wordcount for bonus week posting - anything goes.

The bonus week ends on the 22nd of September; a complete masterlist for the fest will go up on the 23rd. If you have any questions or concerns, as usual, please just leave them here! Bonus week-eligible prompts are below.
