I'll try to get the post up tonight, otherwise it'll be tomorrow. It was supposed to have gone up when sign ups finished a couple of days ago, RL things along with LJ's recent outages have meant I'm running a few days behind.
Either is okay. Most people tend to post to their own journal and link back there so any comments they get are on their own journal, it's also easier to organise the three/four/more posts that the story usually ends up in due to LJ's word limit per post.
Once the big bang is done you can post it out to any other comms/archives you like.
There's not a limit on how many you can sign up for. It's down to how many you think you can get written between sign-ups, the rough drafts being due (so that the artists have something to work with) and beta'd by posting date(s).
I've got a question that's come up as I'm writing that I swear I saw discussed somewhere but now I can't find it. Perhaps it was another comm, or I dreamed it? Wouldn't be the first time. :-p
Anyway, my story is set post-season Two but includes flashbacks of Ianto's early childhood. My question is, is it OK to include his sister Rhiannon? Technically we don't learn about her until Season Three, so I can understand if I can't. But NOT mentioning her in these scenes of intense family drama, now that she's canon, seems weird. Things happen that directly affect the action in the present, and "where was the older sister while all this was going on" is a logical question for the reader to ask. I know *I* would be asking it. Some explanation seems called for.
A possible compromise is to mention an older sister and what she was doing without naming her as Rhiannon, making her an OC of sorts. Heck, I've already given Ianto a twin brother. I can make up a sister as well. But I wanted to run it by you first.
Basically it got decided that because Rhiannon was named in the Torchwood Archives book that came out before CoE it was okay. The main question was over what her surname would be the book gives it as Evans while CoE gives it as Davis.
So the name Rhiannon should be fine, but I'd stick to the Evans surname rather than the Davis one if possible.

Um, is there a limit to how many mini-bangs you can sign up for? Because I've got like four... or five...

That's perfect! Surname won't be an issue as she only appears as a kid. *Scurries back to writing*
