Do author signups really close the same day fic rough drafts are due? Or is that a typo? I just wanted to know for sure because that seemed a little odd to me.......?

[stbb_mod]

No, that's correct so that people who aren't sure if they can make the minimum word count before signing up but do by the time signups close can still participate. I hope I'm making sense.

[ellipsisthgreat]

Nono, perfect sense - actually I think it's an awesome idea! I just wanted to make sure!

Not that I've seen it yet, because I'm in the US, but can Star Trek Into Darkness be used in stories should the muses go that way?

[stbb_mod]

Absolutely.

I'm in the US too and eagerly awaiting its release, lol.

Is there any promotional graphics/coding that could be used to promote the challenge?

[stbb_mod]

They're linked in the profile and can be found here. They are a few years old since I haven't had time and I'm not as skilled as the person who made those.

Can artists claim more than one fic?

[stbb_mod]

Yes, but it will occur in rounds to give everyone an equal chance to get their choices and to get every fic an artist/fanmixer.

Over at gsd_rtfn, we've had a member ask whether they are allowed to post snippets. In the past it's been "five sentences, but no summaries", but I'm seeing from this year's rules that "no actual writing be posted anywhere". I'm assuming that means no snippets, not even short ones. Is that correct?

[stbb_mod]

I'll need to edit that to change it but snippets and summaries are fine.

[rainbowstrlght]

Awesome! Thank you so much for clarifying.
