2010 fest Guidelines

[mini_fest_mod]

# Fic submissions should be at least 500 words long, if you want to write something longer go for it.

# Submissions can be any rating, any pairing, and any genre. This applies to both fic’s and art.

# All submissions must have a theme of Christmas. This includes traditional Yule or Winter Solstice celebrations. As well as any other religious or non religious holiday celebration, held the same time of year.

# Prompts are available for use by everyone and can be used by multiple participants.

# You can use as many prompts as you wish, in any combination you wish.

# You are more than welcome to submit more than one entry. The more the merrier.

# Participation is through registering your interest. On the sign-up post and giving an indication if you will submit Fic or Art.

# Sign ups will close one week before entries are due.

# There will be no penalties if you cannot fulfil your registered interest in this fest. December is a busy time of year for everyone, and this is supposed to be fun and relaxed, everyone knows that Real Life gets in the way of our fandom lives from time to time. If for whatever reason you need to pull out please just email the mods mini_fest @ live.com and let them know that you need to pull out

# If you’re submitting fic’s please ensure that it’s been beta read and that you are happy for it to be posted as it is received. If for whatever reason your regular beta is unavailable let the mods know and we will see what we can do.

# Submissions are due 11.59pm Saturday 20 November 2010. If you want to send your entry earlier you're welcome to do so.

# Submissions will be posted anonymously, with reveals occurring in the New Year, probably in the first week of January.

# Any questions can be sent to mini_fest @ live.com

# If you wish to write/draw a sequel to one of your entries, you are more than welcome to do so. Please just let the mods know which order you would like them posted in. If you are able to send the entries in one email that would make our lives easier.

That's the idea. It's a busy time of year for everyone so who wants to stress about fandom stuff too.

Glad to have you aboard!

I just signed up to write a fic. So goes my first foray into writing fics! Yes, I am a Fest Virgin, but will be no more! Hooray for courage! I am so happy to finally do this.

Welcome aboard! If you need any help or want a beta reader let me know and I'll see what I can do.

You are a sweet and generous soul. I'll remember that. Thank you!(Bear hug ensues)

I have a question hehehehe...
How do the prompts work? Like, MUST we use a prompt or is it just there? Because I don't have anything ideas popping out to me from the prompts... ):

[brissygirl.livejournal.com]

It is prompt based, but... you can use as many prompts as you want. Like a grab bag.

Check the short prompts and the picture prompts as well as the list of short prompts from last year.
If you still can't find anything that takes your fancy, email me and I will get back to you asap over the weekend. :)
