Community Profile

For all of us out there that are a little bit more kinky with our InuYasha pairings, this group is centered around the couple of Miroku and Kagome. He's the perverted houshi...she's the pure miko from another time...fun, no?

Disturbing? Definitely. A little scary? Yeah. Fun? DERN STRAIGHT!

List Rules (COMING SOON -- Until then, just be nice, for heaven's sakes. Meaning no spamming, flaming, inciting riots, spreading viruses, pulling hair, committing murder, bashing characters, tattling, and/or involving yourself in any non-MirKag related activities on the group. Oh, and don't leave crumbs in your bed. Someone's bound to hate that.)

DRABBLES:

MnM will be hosting weekly drabble pools as an experiment for the rest of June and throughout July. If there's enough interest in the activity, then we'll continue the ritual until the popularity dies. If not, then we'll try something else instead.

Drabbles, for those of you who don't know, are basically extremely short stories between 100 and 500 words (though they can be shorter/longer upon occasion)based on a single-word challenge. For drabble example(s), go here (sadly, the pairing isn't MirKag, but it's the best example I have): http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2854381/1/ The theme for this drabble collection is "Completion"; notice how the word "complete" is used in some way, shape or form in each entry.


THEMES:

Week 1 (August 20th - 26th) -- "peach" and/or "lick"
Week 2 (August 27th - September 2nd) -- "home" and/or "leave"
Week 3 (September 3rd - 9th) -- "jewel" and/or "sway"
Week 4 (September 10th - 16th) -- "game" and/or "watch"
Week 5 (September 17th - 23rd) -- "feather" and/or "tickle"

**NOTE: Due to unforseen circumstances, each challenge has been pushed back a week. Apologies for the incovenience.**

Anytime beyond this is uncertain. For now, I'm only going to plan a month in advance and hope for the best. If you would like to keep this activity going then, please, contribute! Drabbles are quick, easy and fun (not to mention really great practice) so they shouldn't take a lot of time out of your schedule.

Also, if you would like to suggest themes, feel free to post them on-group or by directly contacting me, Megami no Eien, via e-mail (my contact information is posted in my own profile). I simply picked random words with potential meaning so it's not terribly difficult. Any and all suggestions are certainly welcome!

Please be sure to follow the rules directly below (as borrowed from kakasakudrabbles).

RULES:

1) All fics must be centered on Miroku and/or Kagome. AU's are allowed.
2) All fics must be a minimum of 100 words and a maximum of 500. No more, no less.
3. All response's should behind a lj cut.
4) Multiple parts are allowed, as long as they fit the word requirements for each part. (ie, you may write entries with relation to one another as long as they're separate and within the stipulated word range.)
5) Any spoilers (anything from InuYasha that you might think is spoilerish for other fans) should be labeled clearly & be behind an lj-cut.
6) If posting more than one drabble in a single post, please do so behind an lj cut.
7) Please only post your own responses to each challenge.
8) The challenge word MUST be used in some way, shape or form in your entry. (ie, if the theme is "Feeling," then you must use "feeling," "feel," "felt," etc. at least once in the body of your submission.) And, no, using it as the title doesn't count. After that, you have 99 - 499 words left to come up with on your own.

All the regular fanfiction/challenge rules apply. Ie, no flaming, character bashing, etc. Be sure to follow our usual format guidelines as well as the rules regarding high-rated material. (See directly below for more detail.)

FANFICTION/CHALLENGE RULES:

These rules apply to both MonkandMiko members and outside authors who wish to submit a response to one of our challenges.

Please, if you write to one of our challenges, SEND US YOUR FANFICTION! We WILL exercise our right to report you for abuse if we feel that you have inexcusably used our challenges without giving us credit. Also, all chapters -- including continuations of the original fic and/or additional chapters to One-Shot/Epic challenges -- must be submitted to Megami no Eien. Feel free to post them on your own accounts as well, of course, but be sure to give credit to MonkandMiko for the challenge/inspiration.

These rules serve to regulate response to our open-ended challenges as well as any and all fanfiction posted to the group (freelance, drabbles, contest entries, etc). Contests may include additional rules, but the general regulations still apply.

If you are not responding to a fanfiction/drabble challenge, then ignore the rules designed specifically for them. I have no control over freelance MirKag writing unless you dictate otherwise. Still, please follow our general format/rating/etc rules to the best of your ability if posting on LJ. (remember: no fanfiction on our Yahoo! Group incarnation of MnM.)

If you have any questions, comments or complaints, direct them to my e-mail box, please. All contact information is available in my personal LJ profile (megaminoeien).

The EXAMPLE challenges for clarification purposes are as follows:

Plot Challenge – "Due to adverse weather, Miroku and Kagome are trapped alone together for a night!"

Sentence Challenge – "I feel loved. Violated, but loved."

Rule One: All entries must follow the provided challenge.

(a) You may choose any challenge you like from the provided list, but the author must remain faithful to the chosen idea. Feel free to expand the challenge to include other elements, but do not stray completely from the initial concept of the challenge.

(b) If the challenge is plot-based, you must revolve your entry almost entirely around said plot.

EXAMPLE:

If the challenge is "Due to adverse weather...," please be sure to include elements key to the development of the plot. Ie, they must, at some point, be trapped together due to conditions beyond their capacity to control.

( c) If the challenge is sentence-based, you must, at some point, include the challenge sentence in your entry.

EXAMPLE: "I feel loved. Violated, but loved."

Of all things, Kagome had not expected the rush of heat that went through her when she kissed the perverted houshi. A quick kiss – get him out of this mess – and that was it. Or...it was supposed to be. She was not supposed to keep kissing him. That wasn't part of the plan! But now – she didn't want to stop.

Apparently, neither did he.

A tugging sensation at her skirt brought her to her senses. Quick check – no, not Miroku. Phew!"Kagome? Kagome, they're gone, you can stop now"

"Ah...Shippo." The pair backed away from each other, not knowing what to say.

Kagome coughed. "Well, it worked. They're gone, so...that's it!" she concluded gaily, still edging away. To her dismay, Miroku matched her step for step.

"You did that...just to 'save' me?" he asked, curiously hurt and relieved at the same time. 'She only did it out of pity? Charity?'

"Well, yeah!"

He heaved a theatrical sigh and gazed at her. "I feel loved. Violated, but loved."

(This excerpt was generously donated by our beloved Chiisai-tori in the form of one of her previous contest entries. To find the full documentation of this entry, please visit the FILES section of Monk_and_Miko and/or visit our group fanfiction accounts.)

Rule Two: Pairing(s)

(a) To be affiliated with Monk_and_Miko Yahoo! Group, the pairing of Miroku/Kagome MUST be observed in your entry. As these challenges are sponsored by Monk_and_Miko, any other couple in their place would not be accepted on the group and/or our affiliate fanfiction accounts.

(b) If you would prefer to use another pairing in place of Miroku/Kagome in your entry, please state the pairing in your submission to Megami no Eien. Your entry will NOT appear on Monk_and_Miko fanfiction accounts, but there will be another account created to the devotion of alternate pairings. Submit your entries in the same fashion as Miroku/Kagome submissions, as described below.

Rule Three: Agreement of Usage

Be aware that in submitting your entry to Megami no Eien and Monk_and_Miko that this organization reserves the right to post your entry on the group, www.MediaMiner.organd www.fanfition.netat our leisure. If there are any other websites other than those specifically listed above that we would like to post your work on, further requests will be submitted for your approval.

The author is, of course, entitled to post their story to any account that they so choose and wave no rights by responding to one of these challenges. We simply insist that authors allow their challenge responses to be posted to Monk_and_Miko fanfiction accounts and LiveJournal given that the challenge was originally our intellectual property.

If you would prefer to collect reviews under your own penname first, however, then you may post the challenge response to your own penname a week before Megami no Eien uploads it to the www.fanfiction.net and www.MediaMiner.org profiles. Go ahead and send in your submission as soon as you’ve posted to your own account and Megami no Eien will hold off for exactly seven days on posting elsewhere.

Posting on the LiveJournal account, however, is your responsibility. It would also be appreciated if you could post it there as soon as you’ve completed your submission instead of waiting the promised week for Megami no Eien to update the www.fanfiction.net and www.MediaMiner.org profiles. After all, it’s a relatively closed community, unlike fanfiction websites, and no commentary will be diverted from your personal profile.

Rule Four: Format

(a) All entries must be submitted in the same uniform format so that posting can be simple and immediate after submission. (Heading available above.)

If you would like to include authors notes for your entry, please feel free to do so. Brevity of your notes will be greatly appreciated to both the staff and readers. Remember to keep them under LJ-cut, however, near the top of your entry.

(b) Additional general comments in reference to the challenge and/or group may be inserted at the end of random entries by Megami no Eien and/or Monk_and_Miko staff. Nothing of personal consequence to yourself or your entry will be included in the comments and the space will be solely reserved for general commentary such as group announcements.

Rule Five: Content and Ratings

(a) Adult material IS accepted unless otherwise forbidden by the challenge itself. If you would like to submit lemon/lime then be aware that your full entry will NOT appear on www.fanfiction.net in respect for their rules. However, a link to the www.MediaMiner.org version of your fanfiction will be included in the notes at the bottom of your entry so that all of those who wish to read the missing content may be forwarded to the complete entry.

(b) Each of the challenge postings will be rated PG-13 ( T ) for precautionary reasons, but all other ratings are accepted, including those higher than PG-13 ( T ). PLEASE state the rating at the top of your entry; Those who will be posting the fanfiction on the group and fanfiction accounts cannot guarantee proofreading before the entries are submitted and, if the true rating is NC-17 ( MA ), we do not want to be held responsible for the results of posting it accidentally on www.fanfiction.net .

Rule Six: Submission Requirements

Please send your submissions to Megami no Eien, the group owner and primary moderator, at MonkandMiko@aol.com COPY AND PASTE the document into the e-mail and DO NOT send your entry in file format, please. Due to the threat of viruses and other unfortunate internet dangers, Megami doesn’t want to run the risk of potentially harming her computer.

Also, do NOT – I repeat DO NOT – post your fanfiction to the Yahoo! Group faction of Monk_and_Miko. Where this has previously been permitted, it is no longer. From now on, all fanfiction posts will go directly to our LiveJournal Community and be deleted from the Yahoo! Group immediately.

Reasons Why:

(a) For the sake of convenience, members can leave reviews in a more direct manner as opposed to having to find the fanfiction off group to do so. Reviews are completely BANNED from the Yahoo! Group portion of Monk_and_Miko.

(b) Similarly, this enables reviews to be collected without overloading members mailboxes, which would be unavoidable on Yahoo! Groups. After all, any and all posts on Yahoo! Groups are sent to everyone on the mailing list, despite interest or apathy to a subject. Reviews are meant to be directed at the author, specifically, which makes the practice of submitting reviews to anyone on Yahoo! Groups rather annoying to those who aren’t the intended recipient(s) of such commentary. On LiveJournal, however, e-mails aren’t sent out every time someone posts a message, making review submission far more convenient to everyone there.

(c) There is no particular reason to post our fanfiction to two different places. After all, if both factions of the group were exactly the same, then there would be no reason to join both, right? The Yahoo! Group will be dedicated to discussion, the LiveJournal Community to fanfiction (though discussion will also be permitted), and the DeviantArt account to fanart.

Thank you for abiding by these rules. We very much appreciate your activity and support

(To find a complete listing of all the challenges, please visit our fanfiction.net and/or MediaMiner.org account(s). Here, they will be separated by Plot-based one-shot challenges, Sentence-based one-shot challenges, and Epic challenges for your convenience. If you would like to suggest a new challenge, feel free to do so either in this Community, on our Yahoo! Group, or by contacting Megami no Eien at MonkandMiko@aol.com, subject line "MonkandMiko Challenge Suggestion.")
