Information for the Writers
We're hoping that this challenge will spread the Chalet School love further into fandom! Stories need to be at least 10,000 words long, but there is no upper word limit. They must either be set in the Chalet School (any era, either one EBD wrote about or more modern/futuristic) or AUs featuring characters we know (although OCs are of course welcome too).
All interested writers should sign up here by 16th August and submit a first draft to csbbmods@gmail.com by 11th October. The people who submit their stories the earliest are guaranteed art, depending on how many artists sign up. Don’t worry, this first draft isn’t meant to be the finished product, it only needs to exceed the minimum word count of 10,000 words so that we know it will be completed, and to give the mixers and artists a sense of what the final story will be like - there can be a couple of placeholders for scenes, as long as the main action is there. If you sign up and discover that you can’t make the deadline, don’t worry about emailing the moderators; just don't submit a first draft - this way, you can sign up without feeling obligated to finish. On this day, you'll also have to submit a summary of the fic, which will be what the mixers and artists look at to determine their claims, so make sure it sells your fic to them. If your stories contain non/dubcon, suicide/character death, graphic self harm or incest these must be warned for in the summary. Everything else is up to you.
Writers will have from 11th October to 8th November to edit, expand, and have their stories looked over by a beta. Final drafts are due on 8th November, and posting will start on 15th November.
The stories themselves can be gen, slash, het, and everything and anything else. If you've read everything and are interested in writing for this challenge, please sign up in the writer sign-up post by 16th August.
Information for the Mixers
Sign-ups for mixers close on 11th October, and then story summaries are posted for claiming. After you claim a summary, you have until 8th November to complete a mix and send it in to csbbmods@gmail.com with a link to an upload on either Mediafire or Megaupload. The minimum number of songs for a mix is 10, with an upper limit of 15. Cover art isn't obligatory, but please include the track-listing of the mix! Once you’ve got your mix sent in you can sign up to work on a second story.
If you've read everything and are interested in mixing for this challenge, please sign up in the mixer sign-up post by 11th October.
Information for the Artists
Sign-ups for artists close on 11th October, and then story summaries are posted for claiming. After you claim a summary, you have until 8th November to complete your art and send it in to csbbmods@gmail.com. There's no limitation on the media, but there is a limitation to which stories will be up for art claiming. The number of artists that sign up are the number of summaries that will be offered up for claiming, starting with the very first submission.
Again, once you're finished with your first piece of art and have sent it in, you're welcome to claim another one, including something from the later summaries.
If you've read everything and are interested in creating art for this challenge, please sign up in the artist sign-up post by 11th October.
General Information
- You can co-write, and you can write more than one story, as long as you submit all of the drafts by the deadline.
- You can do all three of the above (writing, mixing, and creating art), if you would like.
- Email csbbmods@gmail.com with any questions or concerns, or leave a comment here, and one of the moderators will get back to you ASAP.
