DRAFTS

Apr 03, 2013 15:56

In just under a month (April 30th, midnight GMT), all writers should have submitted their 10k rough drafts to me. What will happen is that I'll run a word-count check on the drafts and then on May 1st, I'll make a post of all fic summaries for the artists to claim ( Read more... )

!drafts, !mod

Are you looking for a certain percentage done or just 10K and enough for an artist to work from?

The min. Word count for the finished fic is 15k and the rough draft should be 10k. You'll always have the chance to give your artist an updated fic or whatever, just keep them in the loop with what's happening. :)

Question - So the 10k draft doesn't have to have a completed ending - it just needs to be the first 10k or so of the story?

00q_bb_mod April 4 2013, 07:20:22 UTC

the first 10k or however it is you write. :) some people don't write linear, other people have "placeholder" plot key words, etc. whatever a draft is for you. :)

Not a writer, but just wanted to say that I'm so excited to see what everyone has come up with.

but if our rough draft is more than 10k words, that's okay too, correct? just wondering :)

00q_bb_mod April 8 2013, 06:15:31 UTC

yes, that is definitely more than okay. :) It's also okay to hand in the finished fic, if you've already gotten that far. :)

Two quick questions:
1. Will summaries be anonymous?
2. Will summaries be locked to the community, or available to any readers?

Thanks! I'm trying to finish the first draft prior to handing it in and I wasn't sure what I can/can't reveal in the summary.

1. the summaries will be anonymous. :)
2. available to all who come by. this is because some of our participants don't have livejournal accounts.

I hope that helped. :D

Thanks, that is helpful -- one or two things that I'd have probably revealed in my summary if it was locked will spoil the story, so I'll edit it for public consumption :)

ETA: I probably should have asked if there's a format you wanted us to follow. I was going to go with working title, pairings and characters, then artist's summary, with warnings at the very end. Let me know if there's anything I need to add.

:)

The header here: http://00q-bb.livejournal.com/profile is fine. :) it's a pretty standard thing.
