Mod Post: Strike Haitus Contest Rules and Claims Post
It's here! Our first ever contest! Hooray!
We are going to be doing a blind-item prompt writing/graphics/vid competition.
But
ravenrants, I'm sure you're asking, what in the name of Christo is a blind-item prompt?
A blind-item prompt works like this. If you decide you want to join in the fun, you will comment on this post. In the comment, you will give me two numbers between 1 and 30, and a single letter between A and O. Example:
I'll take 13, 25, and B, please.
Assuming you've read the RULES and comment accordingly I'll respond to your post with the characters and object those numbers and letter correspond to. Example:
13) John Winchester, 25) Ruby, B) Leather Jacket (These are not necessarily the actual items/characters assigned to these numbers.)
You get one shot per week, if you don't like what you are given, you have to wait 7 days before turning it in for something new. I am maintaining a database with assignments and due dates.
Due Dates? Yes. I will also assign you a due date, on a Thursday (of course) starting March 6th (Thursday after next) and going through the rest of that month. If you can't make the date I've assigned for some reason, let me know ahead of time and we will move your due date out. However, if you just plain miss the mark, your propmt will be recycled so someone else can have the numbers/letters you were assigned. You won't be disqualified from the contest, but you'll need to submit a new request in order to play.
Your fic/graphic/vid MUST contain all three assigned items/people in order to qualify.
Written pieces should be at least drabble-length and try to avoid any mulit-chaptered monstrosities - we only have a month here. Vids should probably be longer than a minute, less than ten, and if you are doing an icon set, you must include at least one icon with ALL three people/items in it - ditto graphics.
Posting will occur regularly during the month of March. During the first week of April, I will compile all the entries into a mega LJ poll for voting. After a week of voting, the winner will be announced.
There are 15 openings. If response is massive I may add more prompts.
The really important information - The winner will receive:
A personalized Hunters Kit (you provide photo).
A winner's icon for your personal use, and a badge you can post on your bio.
Bragging rights.
If you have any questions, let me know!
