Announcing our first run!
Welcome, welcome. Let's get some details going, shall we? This post has your timeline, your header/posting information, your rules, and a banner to help spread the word (because if more people know, the more people can participate!). The header and the rules can also be found on our profile.
Timeline
Sign ups open: Wednesday, November 1st

Header/Posting
When posting, we ask that you use the following header:
Title
Author/Artist
Length/Size of work
Summary
Rating
Warnings
Other content notes
Fandom (optional)
Pairing (optional
Beta (optional)
Disclaimer (mandatory only if not original work)
Please make sure to post correctly. Posting is moderated to make sure that the header, subject line, and tags are all used. Your subject line should be the title and the author/artist. At minimum, the tags you use should have the year and what type of work it is. We encourage everyone with fanworks to use the fandom tags.
Rules
-We are a December challenge. We'd prefer if your works for this challenge focus on the end of the year -- maybe it's just a winter theme, or a holiday theme, but it should focus on December or a December holiday and/or the conclusion of a year into a hopeful New Year.
-It is prompt based. We can give you a prompt table or you can make your own. You'll let us know in your sign up!
-We welcome all types of works. Original or fanwork, art or written; everything is welcome! You can also do a combination, such as doing some art and some poetry. It's up to you!
-Sign ups are mandatory. In addition to making sure you have the tags you need, this is so we can keep track of who is posting and whether we'll be waiting for you when the round up posts happens.
-Yes, you can combine this with other challenges! When you post, all we ask is for a link to where the piece is posted so everyone can see/read it. This does mean if your other challenge is anonymous, you cannot use it with this fest. Otherwise, if the other challenge allows, you can use it for this challenge! If you do post your work directly to the community, please use a cut.
-Pineapple.
-We have an AO3 collection! Feel free to add to it > 2017 NYC Works
-There is no minimum/maximum. Any length/size is welcome.
-You do not have to write individual stories; you can have a continuous story posted in 25 parts. If you do this, however, we ask that you make sure each post has a link to the previous part, if applicable, and to the next part, if applicable.
-All works should be new for the month of December - please do not reuse stories!
-There are different levels for this fest: Easy (where you aim to post a third of the days; the total number of works would be 8), Moderate (where you aim to post half of the days; the total number of works would be 12), Hard (where you aim to post all 25 days), and Overachiever (where you aim to post all 31 days).
-This community does not carry a warning for adult content HOWEVER the owner is not responsible for anyone under the age of 18 viewing content they should not be. Further, do not flame or leave rude/impolite/unnecessary comments -- if you do not like the content listed in the header, DO NOT READ. It's that easy. Police your own viewing and contents, no one else's. Violators of this rule will be banned. No second chances. (Banning happens at the owner's discretion and will not be disputed.)
-Raspberry.
-And that's it! Easy, right? If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
