Mid April Author/Artist Signups (Theme: Earth - in honor of Earth Day)
Forgive the lateness of this month’s signup. It took me a while to figure out just how I wanted these things to go. As such, bear with me, and feel free to let me know if you see anything that might cause problems or which you have a problem with. Shall we get started? I thought so!
This month’s theme is Earth, in honor of Earth Day which is tomorrow. It is being left open to interpretation. Do you have an Earth Senshi you want featured? Perhaps you want your non-Earth Senshi to visit Earth. Perhaps you merely want to see (or read) something about your Senshi protecting the earth (not necessarily the planet Earth, but the actual planet that they happen to be on), either in a Senshi aspect or as a person making a difference. Perhaps both. This should be open to lots of interpretation by both sides of the swap, and while you can’t dictate what your partner will draw/write for you, we encourage communication between partners.
Before I give sign-up information, it is important to make you all aware that there are rules specific to this mid-month, Author/Artist swap. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask me.
RULES
1. All Standard Rules apply. Please read them in their entirety and follow them.
2. Ratings for fanfiction will be PG-13 and lower. No exceptions.
3. All fanfiction is to be put behind an lj-cut. Submission forms are the only things that should go above the cut. (Submission forms below.)
4. All fanfiction should be written in English (although mild use of other languages for flavor/characterization is acceptable so long as translations are provided).
5. All fanfiction should be written in paragraph format, with proper grammar, and with proper punctuation. Spell check your work. Always produce your best effort.
6. All fanfiction should be no shorter than 2,500 words. This is for one piece of fiction, and not multiple smaller drabbles. There are word count applications online, and we expect you to use them. This rule is subject to change for future exchanges should members find the limit too small or large.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Can I sign up as an Artist and as an Author?
Yes. However, if you sign up for both you will be expected to complete both. If you do not submit either by the deadlines, the same rules apply. End of story. Also, if we do not have enough participants on one side or the other, it is possible that you will only be assigned as one: either Artist or Author, depending on what we need. If you do not want this to be the case, either sign up only for the one you care about most, or put something in your signup that clearly states which one you must be signed up for. If you do not add this, we will assume we can assign you as necessary.
Got all that? Good. Think I need to add something? Let me know! We’re still a new community, and we’re fleshing this out as we go. Please, be vocal!
