AboutPetitte_Soeur: French for: little sister, which should reflect that this community is related to Contre la montre (see below).
The difference between![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif)
petitte_soeur and contrelamontre will be that this community is for OC (that's Original Character) Slash Pairings in response to the challenges. CLM will stay a place to post your fandom pieces, and PS will become the place to let us see those ramblings that are unrelated to a specific fandom. Otherwise, the same rules still apply. For your convenience, rules are copied below. All of said rules are from the lovely ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
zarah5, only I have added myself ipso__facto as the contact person so that the incredibly talented and busy Zarah need not be bothered. Rules in [...] are my own additions. Do not blame Zarah for the things I say.
Challenges will be reposted here, in PS, by yours truly, for your convenience.
Contre la montre: An expression stolen from the vocabulary of the Tour de France, means: against the clock. Which could tell you that this community is about time, and in a way, that's true.
Ever heard of an improv? It's the kind of thing some of those geeky fanfiction writers do. They meet up on AIM, (not always) manage to agree on a quote or a certain topic and then everyone hurries off because there are only [insert number of your choice here] minutes allowed to write a story on the given topic.
Some people might wonder why anyone would want to do that kind of thing. Well, reasons vary from craziness and masochism to enjoying a good writing exercise as well as the need to focus entirely on writing for a certain amount of time. As far as reasons go, there really are no conditions to join this community. There are some rules and guidelines, though, to make sure that everyone's having fun.
#1: This community is not limited to a certain fandom. [It is not, in fact, for fandom at all, and should only include your Original Characters.] It is, however, limited to slash, RPS as well as FPS. Het elements are allowed, of course, but slash is a requirement. [Note: PS is not a place for your Mary Sue's. Feel free to write them, but don't post them here. Posts not containing slash will be deleted]
#2: Every Sunday, I will post one topic, one sentence, a quote, whatever, along with instructions on how much time people are allowed to take for the writing process. I trust you not to cheat -- after all, this is about exercise, about practice. What would be the use of taking an hour when only forty-five minutes are allowed? It would defeat the purpose.
You can write your take on the topic whenever you have the time to sit down and concentrate long enough, but all stories must be posted until the following Sunday, before I post the next topic. You don't have to participate every time, only when you have the time and feel like writing something.
More than one entry per topic is, of course, allowed.
#3: Any- and everyone is more than welcome to suggest possible topics. If you have suggestions, please post them in reply to the most recent challenge entry.
#4: Stories should be posted with the following information in the subject line: "Story title, fandom, rating, pairing." Please make use of the LJ-cut as well as of the spell-checker most computers offer nowadays. Excessive editing would defeat the purpose of improvs, but reading over it once and making sure that there are no glaring errors is not only allowed, but required.
[Note: PS posters can ignore the disclaimer if the characters are YOUR OWN, as they should be if you are posting here.] Headers must include, in addition to the information you should also include in the subject line, a legal disclaimer. And by disclaimer, I mean a disclaimer, in which you state at the very least that there's no truth to your story, and, in the case of FPS, that you're playing with someone else's characters. Disclaimers offer us a shred of protection, so take them seriously, forchrissake! Not doing so will result in a warning the first time, exclusion from the community the second time.
#5: Feedback is a beautiful thing. You won't be excluded if you don't give any, but I strongly ask you to post at least a short comment in reply to every story you read here. You like getting feedback? So does everyone else.
#6: Trust me when I say that no one will be interested in what the weather in your country's like at the moment or what you ate for breakfast. So if that's the only topic of your entry in the community journal, spare us. OT-posts are not allowed.
#7: Same goes for chat-speak. Do you hate the English language so much that you can't be bothered to make an attempt at correct spelling and grammar? Then this community certainly isn't the right place for you. Smileys are allowed, but keep them down to a reasonable minimum.
#8: I don't care if you're an FPS-er and don't agree with the concept of RPS. Flame anyone and you'll be banned faster than you can say "sick, twisted mind."
That's it, for now. I reserve the right to make additions and changes if more issues arise. Complaints, suggestions, donations and anything else you see fitting can be directed atipso__facto.
Not reading these guidelines doesn't exclude you from following them.
