A very MINI mini_fest for 2020!

[mini_fest_mod]

I'm so very sorry that we are so late to the party this year.

I know a few of you have asked about a mini_fest for 2020, and I've crawled out of my hibernation cave to try and offer a very small version of our fest this year to keep the tradition going.

I'm not expecting a large turnout, but if you'd like to send us some prompts or submissions we'll have a modified fest this year.

We will follow the same basic fest rules this year, except we'll have a modified posting schedule depending on how many submissions we receive.

(We won't be able to post every day in December, but even if we have just a very few signups/submissions we'll post them all in one go on or near Christmas.)


Timeline
Prompting: November 28 - December 1
Signups open: December 1
Last day to send your work: December 20 (but the earlier the better)
Posting Start: TBD depending on number of submissions


It'll be a smaller fest this year, but please spread the word and send us any holiday ficlets or art and we'd love to share them!

Yay. Thank you 🎄

I'm going to pimp you out on potterfests here on LJ and on fandomcalendar on DW and I belong to a Snarry discord... that might get a couple more participants!

Thanks for doing this, I love this fest!

Great news; thank you!

Have linked on two HD discords.
Now that I’m actually active in fannish things this year, I have a quick question: you mention both fic and art (including crafts). Since this is prompt-based, is that why podfic isn’t part of the media, or would you be open to accepting podfic? I’m running out of spoons right now unfortunately but might be able to scramble up one of those.
Edit: I just remembered that I saw in the rules to ask questions via email so will do so!

Hey. I help run this fest from time to time - so just popping in to say that podfics will be welcomed this year, for sure! We'll work w/ you when the time comes for submission to figure out where to post/host (ao3 most likely 99.99%) but we are not against it. I'll have to check w/ kitty_fic to see if we are doing anonymous podfics or not.

Sounds good! Hosting on archive.org definitely allows for on-LJ streaming (or at least, on-DW so I assume it translates) as well as the usual download links but knowing about the anon vs non-anon would be helpful! (Archive.org would also be a little harder to upload anon since the embed iframe does link to the archive.org page.) Happy to troubleshoot/figure it out though! And that would mean that it could be posted directly to LJ like the fics/art. Sorry to ramble!
