FAQ's
Credit to fanfic_100 for these!
Are there any deadlines?
Nope. Your set is done when you finish it! No rush, no pressure. It’s supposed to be fun, remember! But it would be really shiny if you could post at least once a week, so I know you’re still working on it!
If I pick a pairing, does every fic have to have that pairing in it? What about if I pick a single character?
Not exactly. If you pick a pairing, then all the fics must have both characters in it, but the relationship does not need to be the focus of every single fic. For example, if you chose April and Roger, you could write a fic that’s almost all about April, but there has to be at least a passing mention of Roger somewhere in there.
If you choose one character, that character must be the focus of all the fics. He doesn't have to be -in- every fic, but the fics somehow need to be about him or strongly involve him. When I read the fic, I want to think about him.
If I pick general, can I use characters the have been picked by other people?
Yes. If you pick general series, you can use every character that passed through the series. If you picked a pairing, you must use both of those characters, but you may include any other characters with them. Same applies if you picked one character. For example, if you have general series, you can write about any pairings, Angel/Collins, Roger/Mimi, Maureen/Joanne, etc, no matter if someone has picked Roger or Maureen or Angel. If you have Roger, you can write about our prettyboy frontman with anyone else, Roger/April, Roger/Mimi, Roger/Mark, etc, no matter if someone has picked April or Mimi or Mark. If you picked Roger/April, you have to include both Roger and April in your fics, no matter if someone else picked Roger or April seperately.
What ratings are allowed?
Any and all. Just make sure that every single fic is rated before the lj-cut so people know what they're clicking on. I use the G to NC-17 system because it's well known. If you are going to use another letter system, please explain what the letter means.
What is the minimum word count? Can I write a haiku?
One hundred words is minimum to count as a fic. You can write a series of haikus, or a poem, if you want.
When do I post? All a once or one at a time?
As you finish them. If you are posting more than one fic at a time, please put them all in the same post if they are from the same claim.
Are fake cuts okay?
Links are shiny, feel free.
How many characters/pairings can I claim at once?
If you want to do more than one, you can. But you need to work on both at the same time. For now, let's limit it to two a person, just to make it easier.
What is the policy on AU?
AU is shiny. Most fic is AU to some degree, else it's just a novelization.
Can we post the stories elsewhere that we write for this?
Yep, they're yours, you can do whatever you want with 'em. This anarchist just can't abide by too many rules.
Do we have to post them in order? Or can I post number 63 before number 1, etc?
You don't have to post them in any order. Grab whichever prompt tickles your muse. That also goes for the timeline of the fandom. You can post a future fic, then a past, etc.
How central do the prompt words have to be to the story?
The word does not have to be in the fic. The fic simply has to at least suggest the word. Any take on the word. Don't feel the need to stick to the implied meaning. (This is why lightening has the 'e' in it!)
Can I use more than one prompt in one fic?
Nope. One prompt per fic. That way you have 100 fics, which is rather the point of the challenge, see?
How do I drop my claim?
Well, first off, I'm sad to see you go and hope to see you back when you can! To drop a claim, please post in the claim post using the journal you claimed with.
Can I do a claim jointly with someone else?
Sure! If you want to write them with a partner or a group of friends, feel free to do that. I know it makes it a whole lot easier to get them done (for the most part, anyways).
Can more than one person claim a character/pairing?
Yes. I have faith that the fics will be different, even though the prompts are the same. People are creative.
I have a question that isn’t here, what do I do?
You can e-mail me (fireflyclassserenity@gmail.com) or you can ask here
It is NEVER okay to ask a question by posting in my personal journal.
