Apocalypse Ficathon Claims
Character Claiming Post
Opens 12th Nov, Closes 14th Nov.
We decided practically unanimously on how we’re dealing with the two issue I posted previously.
Storyline- taken from newly edited rules/faq post.
What’s the style of storyline?
We’ve decided to go with Multi-storyline -where writers can choose if they want to join the group, but must include some form of link to the main group. Some examples below, you might be able to be creative and think of some other way that fits the requirements!
Basic: Next writer makes their characters meet the previously introduced characters and have adventure
Other: Next writer uses their characters for a separate storyline but at the end of fic meets the ‘main group of characters previously introduced, leaving it up to the next writer to do whatever they want.
Other: Next writer uses their two characters separately in separate storylines; one character might have adventure with previously introduced characters while the other ventures out solo.
Characters time:Don’t fret about where you are or how many characters you might have to ‘deal’ with. You can be as specific, detailed; vague or crazy (kill! KILL! EAT BRAINS! -come on someone better do it. You know you want to. Chomp down on a lovely arm while swimming?) as you want.
Now details are over…GO STATE YOUR CLAIM! :D
How to claim
Comment to this post with-
Three characters in order of preference include full names of each character and fandom they come from.
A short by-line about the character to put up on the claimed list for others references e.g. their job or who they are.
Preferred contact method/s: LJ PM Yes/No, and an email address (which you’ll be sending your fic from)
You MUST have three characters listed; you will only get two characters to introduce into the story in your fic. I can’t promise both characters will be from your list but I’m sure it’ll be more than likely to turn out that way. If there is an issue with double claimed characters I will contact you to ask for another character. Characters from any fandom (as defined in the rules) would be open, but it’s probably more fun to try and pick ones that are a little more main-stream and others might have a higher chance of recognizing to increase the fun!
