b. Fics
i. Minimum word count for a fic is 5,000 words. If your fic is shorter than that, but you feel that’s the way it should be, email us and we’ll discuss it.
ii. Your fic should be beta read and free of spelling and grammar issues. We will be fixing the occasional typo, but if there are obvious spelling issues or the correct canon spelling is disregarded, we will send the fic back for editing. (For canon spellings you can check the Harry Potter Lexicon). “Americanisms” will not be considered mistakes.
iii. Fics cannot be part of a series you are writing, or be a sequel/prequel/remix to one of your fics (or anyone else's).
iv. If you are under 18, you cannot submit/view R/NC-17 work.
v. The HTML formatting tags should be included in the file you send.
c. Art
i. Artists have no minimum requirement, but your work should be more complex than a sketch.
ii. Should not make reference to another piece of yours (or anyone else’s).
iii. If you are under 18, you cannot submit/view R/NC-17 work.
iv. If your art is non-digital and cannot be emailed (e.g. sweater, diorama, collage), please make sure you take many detailed photos or scan the piece, so that it can be easily submitted and posted along with your partner’s contribution.
4. On April 19th, we’ll be checking in with each pair to find out how you are doing together, if there are any problems, and if what you have decided to do for your project is fine. If you’re having trouble deciding on a time or setting for your project, please let us know, and we’ll provide some “prompt” words to get the ball rolling.
