Holiday Fic Exchange - Rules & Sign-Ups
Oldschoolfic Holiday Exchange
Timeline
Sign-ups: October 10th - 26th
Assignments sent: October 27/28
Default deadline: December 15
Deadline: December 25 - 31st
Stories released: January 1st
Rules
1) Even though you choose three fandoms and as many pairings as you want, you only have to write one story about one pairing.
2) Prompts do not have to be holiday themed, but if they are the author should write a holiday themed fic.
3) All fics must be a minimum of 1000 words. There is no maximum. Please be sure to have your fics betaread prior to posting. (Ficathon mods are not available for betareading purposes, nor are we able to find you a betareader. We will, however, put a post up for betareaders to volunteer in.)
4) You will be asked to list pairings or characters you want. Please be sure to list a reasonable number for your writer, who is allowed to include any other characters he or she wishes to write. (Also: Please, no incest prompts. That's a can of worms your mod still doesn't want to open.)
5) If you sign up and discover you will not be able to complete a fic, please let me know by December 15 so I can find a back up. This also means you will not get the story you requested. It's only fair.
Defaulters will not be allowed to participate in any future oldschoolfic ficathons.
6) If you have any questions, please e-mail me at larah33@gmail.com
