Questions and Answers
Below are any questions (and answers) that you might have. If you have one that is NOT answered here, please comment and I will get back to you! :D
Q: What can I claim?
A: Anything X-Men related! You could claim a certain era in the comics, a movie, one of the cartoons, a pairing, a character, a team, a place, a crossover, etc!
Q: If I make a claim, does that mean I stick to ____ for the whole table?
A: When you claim say ROGUE then each fanfic you write it must feature her in the story... she doesn't have to the main character, but she should be one of the central characters in it.
- If you choose like a pairing the same thing applies, they don't have to be the main pairing or anything but both characters should be characters in the story. If they happen to be with two different people or are just friends in the story then thats fine.
- If you claim a general universe, again the same thing applies even though your dealing with a more general area to work with... so you should have no problems. As long as the main character/pairing has been featured in that storyline/group (even if it was just one issue or something) & if your pairing isn't canon, then still make sure both characters are from that storyline/group.
Q: How long to the fanfics have to be?
A: While there is no maximum word count, there should be AT LEAST 100 words... if you have like 98 or 99 then thats fine, I'm not gonna force you to rewrite what you wrote.
Q: Is there a deadline?
A: No, there is no dead line, but if you go six months WITHOUT posting ANYTHING... I will warn you and if you do not get back to me or write anything for another month then I will remove your claim. You may reclaim it however if you want to rejoin again.
Q: Do you have to do the prompts in order, or can you skip around?
A: You can skip around, of course.
Q: Does the pairing have to be strictly canonical?
A: Nope! Say you like Cyclops and Shadowcat together... then you can write it! Anything goes, slash or femslash as well.
Q: May I claim original characters?
A: No... sorry but since X-Men is a large enough universe to not need a original character... but you may have an original character in your fanfic.
Q: Do you have to do the prompts in order, or can you skip around?
A: You can skip around, of course.

Q: Is there a limit as to how many stories I may post at a time?
A: Nope! You can post all 15 at one time if you want.
Q: Does the prompt word have to appear in the story?
A: Nope! Nor does it have to be the more usual meaning of the word. Let your imagination run riot. Just make sure that the theme does appear in the story, however loosely.
