ohsamHey all!
Just a quick reminder that you now have until midnight, December 2nd to claim any previously unclaimed prompts. We still have nearly 60 prompts that are positively clamouring to be filled!
Also, I am going to take this opportunity to remind you of the rules, once again:
1- One claim per prompt only. You may claim as many prompts as you would like, provided they have not been previously claimed by someone else.
Please be realistic when claiming prompts. If you are the type of writer who needs weeks to write 500 words, then claiming five prompts may not be the right choice for you.
2- Stories may be posted at any time before February 2nd, 2012, using the &fic challenge tag. After that, you may post using the &amnesty tag.
3- Stories must be a minimum of 2,000 words.
Yes, I am paying attention, and yes, I am using a word counter. If your wordcount doesn't meet the required minimum, I will remove your post from the community and ask you to repost when you have met the required length. If you don't post a story that meets this minimum before February 2nd, 2012, then your story will not be included in the challenge master list at the end.
4- Stories must be posted individually to the community.
This is not a comment-fic meme. While you are more than welcome to advise your prompter in the comments that your story is complete and posted, do not post your story as a reply to the prompt. It must be its own separate entry. You may either post it to the community in its entirety, or make a post to the community linking back to an entry in your own LJ. If you prefer to use AO3 or another fanfic archive, that's fine too, so long as the story is readily accessible (ie, do NOT link to a locked post!!!) and is linked in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
ohsam.
Failure to do this will result, once again, in your story not being included in the challenge master list.
5- Stories must be complete before being posted.
NO WIPs. I mean it, folks. We've made one exception due to a misunderstanding, but make sure your prompt is fully written before posting. If your fic is a multiple chapter monster, that's great, but I WILL NOT include it in the master list at the end of the challenge if you post it in parts over several weeks.
The rules of this challenge are not complicated. Failure to adhere to any of the above rules will result in your fic not being included in the challenge master list. No exceptions from this point on, period. If I notice a rules violation I will point it out and ask you to correct it, but I will not come back and check to see if you have, nor can I guarantee I will catch them all. It's your responsibility as writers and members of the community to check your work, okay?
Happy writing!
