Challenge Open

[zvi]

I Saw Three Ships is now open.

There is a rule change.

All stories must be posted with a warning notice. You must include one of the following warning labels:

• choose not to warn
• choose not to warn for some content
• no standardized warnings apply
• graphic depictions of violence
• major character death
• rape/non-con
• underage

You may include additional warnings for content you believe may trigger or emotionally disturb some readers. Please do not use joke warnings or warnings for content signaled in the rest of the header, e.g. schmoop, het sex, mpreg. If you send your story in without a warning notice, it will be marked choose not to warn.

The schedule is as follows:

* Thursday, October 1: signups open
* Friday, October 30: Last day of signups
* Sunday, November 1: assignments sent out
* Tuesday, December 29: Stories due by 11:59 PM, Eastern Standard Time (UTC -5).
This is a hard and fast deadline, due to the seasonal nature of the project.
* Wednesday, January 6* (Three Kings Day): stories posted
* Wednesday, January 13: authors revealed

You may offer to write only write in fandoms, but I strongly suggest that you either pick some very large fandom I have left off the list, or you bring in two or three friends from fandoms of which you are a part.

It's possible that we'd get a Backstreet request from someone who has previously participated, but we rarely get more than two or three participants interested in anime, manga, or related video games, and it is almost inevitable that they are not fans of the same anime/manga/videogames.

If I get to the end of the sign up period and no one has made a request in the fandoms you have offered to write in, I will send you an e-mail detailing the fandoms people have requested and asking if you would still like to participate or not.

I was actually gonna pimp out the challenge to see if I can get some more people.

My three fandoms were actually gonna be popslash (versus making a specific Backstreet Boys request since that might be easier to match), Reaper, and The Listener.

I am in some animanga fandoms, but I figured they'd be the hardest to match.

(It's probably my own fault for getting into small fandoms.)

Not really a fault thing, just a reality we both have to work with. I can definitely do something for you with popslash, but if a Reaper or The Listener request comes in, I'll give it to you.

Well I've made a plea in popsoundboard on LJ to try to get more writers (people have, even though a pairing was requested, asked for a threesome in their dear writer letters in the popslash sesa, so I think I can get maybe one or two popslashers from that)

I'll make pleas in the Reaper and Listener comms as well, lol.
