AboutWelcome to Farscape Friday, a weekly Farscape drabble challenge. Your friendly moderators are ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
fourteenlines and themoonbar. themoonbar would like you to know that we'll be especially friendly when bribed with chocolate, tape copies and shirtless men.
1. What's a drabble? How does this thing work?
Technically, a drabble is defined as a 100-word piece of fanfiction. Each Thursday late night/Friday early morning, in honor of Farscape's original airing night, one of the moderators will post a weekly challenge. You'll have until the next challenge is issued to post your response.
2. So anything I post has to be exactly 100 words?
Not really, no. This being a Farscape community, we're firm believers that rules are made to be broken. Limits make great writing excercises because they force you to consider your word choice, but great excercises don't always make great stories. We suggest shooting for 100-500 words (in 100-word increments, if you can!) but if your fic comes up 98 words or 5000, we're certainly not gonna stop you from posting.
3. Rules are made to be broken, huh?
Don't push your luck. Obvious netiquette rules apply: no flaming, no spamming, no "yo' mamma" jokes. Okay, that last one is mine. Any international fans who have not seen season four should note that posted drabbles may contain spoilers. Out of courtesy to these fans, please remember to mark which season, if any, your drabbles contain spoilers for. Off-topic posts aren't allowed, but discussion in the comments that veers off-topic won't be curtailed.
4. Do I have to be a member of Livejournal to post my drabbles? Do I have to be a member of the community to post from my LJ account?
Nope. While we think Livejournal is a fun yet crazy community to be a part of, you don't have to be a member. Any non-LJ member may post their response(s) in the comments to the weekly moderator-issued challenge. Anyone with an LJ account should post directly to the community. (And if you want an LJ account, ask around. There's probably somebody who still has codes available.) And if you're already on LJ but it's just too much effort to join the community, you can still post your responses, no problem.
5. Is there a rating limit?
No. But in the interests of being an all-inclusive community, anything stronger than PG-13 should go behind a cut tag and include adequate warning. (For info on how to make a cut tag, go here and scroll to the third item on the page.) PLEASE NOTE that users are responsible for what they read.
6. Is there an archive set up for these drabbles?
Not currently. We might decide to create an index site, but in the meantime, we encourage you to post your Farscape fic to Leviathan.
7. Are you frelling done yet?
Yep. Actually, that's about it. Behave like the cool, smart fans we know you are, and there shouldn't be any further items.
