Summer Swap? Summer Swap!
Welcome to the Bandom Summer Story Swap! Here's how we do it (same as the New Year's Swap):
You write a story for someone and someone writes a story for you. Stories go live on Labor Day (September 7), and authors are revealed on September 15, 2009. You need a little more?
What You're Asking For
You can request as many pairings as you like, but your writer only needs to include one of those pairings. You must request at least 3. *One* of the pairings must be from one of the following bands: Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, or Panic at the Disco. Other requests can be from any of those bands as well, from any other bandom band (what's a bandom band? I trust your judgment), or crossovers. Again, you can request as many pairings as you like, but you must request at least 3.
In addition, you can indicate in the Prompt section anything you particularly like or don't like in stories, or give your writer a prompt like a song lyric, a color, etc. Your writer does not have to include anything from this section, but it can help give an idea of what you like.
What You're Offering
You must offer to write 1 Listed Fandom - Fall Out Boy, MCR, or Panic. This means you're agreeing to write any pairing within that band - you might get Pete/Patrick for Fall Out Boy, or you might get Joe/Andy. But: you have one out. You can also indicate 1 pairing that you absolutely do not want to write. So, for instance, if you choose Panic as your Listed Fandom, you can indicate that you absolutely do not want to write Jon/Ryan, and then you could be assigned any of the other pairings, but not Jon/Ryan.
In addition, you must also offer to write a minimum of 2 other pairings. These can be any pairing from the listed fandoms, from any other bandom band, or crossovers. You can OF COURSE offer to write more, and I strongly encourage everyone to offer as many pairings as they feel comfortable writing. It will make matching easier.
