Author Sign Ups for Round 4
And we're back! It is the first of April and this is no joke - we're opening the sign ups for authors who want to write 10,000 words of a fanfiction centered around the greatness that is White Collar. A few points of business before getting to the sign ups. If this sounds similar to last year, that's because it is. :)
Here is the schedule:
Author Sign Ups Begin: April 1st - Sorry we're a few days late.
Artist Sign Ups Begin: May 1st
Author Drop Out Date: July 10th
Author Sign Ups End: July 15th
Fic Rough Draft Due Date: July 15th
Artists Pick Fic: July 16th
Artists Sign Ups End: August 15th
Final Fic/Art Due: September 1st
Posting Starts: September 7th
Rules for Authors:
1. Fics must be at least 10,000 words or longer of gen, het, or slash fanfiction. At this time, we are not considering RPF or RPS. If you feel we should, please contact us at whitecollar.bb.mods@gmail.com
2. The story must be centered around White Collar characters but don't feel like you have to use all of them. So this means Peter, Neal, Elizabeth, Mozzie, Kate, June, Agent Jones, Agent Cruz, Special Agent in Charge Reese Hughes (Peter's boss), Fowler, and Alex or anybody else who is central to the White Collar cast. Have fun with these characters. Crossovers are allowed but please make sure it centers around White Collar. For example per the season finale of season 1, you could crossover White Collar and In Plain Sight (show about Witness Protection on USA), but the focus should be on Neal.
3. There will be check in posts. Please try to remember to post to them, but if you miss them, don't sweat it. We're just check in to see what everyone needs within reason. I am not getting everyone their own Neal. You're on your own for that. -- These may or may not happen, depending on if we remember to post them. :)
4. Your Rough Draft is due on July 15th. This is when we are closing sign ups. There will be an official author drop out post on July 10th. If you need to drop out at any time, email us at whitecollar.bb.mods@gmail.com or leave a comment somewhere.
5. Fics as part of a series are allowed as long as they are stand alone fics. That means they can stand on their own merit and the reader doesn't have to read a previous fic in order to understand what you're writing.
6. You are not allowed to post your fic publicly either in whole or part before your posting date. Posting starts on the 7th of September - please wait until then.
We do ask that you join our sister vent community, wcbbvent to talk about the challenge, get help, vent or whatever else that you need.
If there are any other questions, please look to the Frequently Asked Questions. If your question is still not answered, please drop us a line either at the FAQ post or feel free to PM/email us.
