FIC EXCHANGE (of Doom)
Oct. 26th, 2009 12:34 pmThere are a lot of fic exchanges going around now. Between Yuletide, JBBS, and Three Ships, it's a little hard to pick which ones to do!
So I feel like making all your lives (and mine) a little harder! I'm making a new fic exchange! I call it the FIC EXCHANGE (of Doom). This is why I don't usually make titles.
This one's gonna be be a little different from those other ones. See, I'm a pretty casual kind of girl. I don't like putting too much effort into things. I also like writing things for people, but I don't like being told what I HAVE to write. I inevitably am given something that technically I can write but that I'm not so good at writing. Wouldn't it be better if you could look at what your person wants and write something that works with both your interests and theirs?
So what's going to happen here is you're going to email me at ihavettk@gmail.com by November 9th. If you can't make it by then, give me a comment, but really, that's two weeks, you can make it. You will include this information!
( The form with snarky commentary (of doom)! )
Just in case that wasn't clear enough, I will fill it out RIGHT HERE AND NOW where you can watch!
( My Form (of doom)! )
"But, Shana!" You say, "This is all very well, but shouldn't you have some RULES?" To which I reply, "SCREW THE RULES! ANARCHY FOR ALL!" And after a long discussion on the benefits of government, I concede your point and set out a few guidelines.
THE RULES (of Doom)!
-Requests are due by November 9. Any later than that and I WILL STAB YOU WITH FIRE*.
-Stories are due December 31, 2009 at 11:59. If you are late, again, stabbed with fire*.
-GET YOUR STORY BETA'D. If you can't find one through the usual channels, send me a note and I'll hook you up with someone.
-There's not really a length rule, but if it's longer than a thousand words, that'd be cool.
-If you need to drop out, shoot me an email and I'll give it to a pinch hitter.
-On December 31, post your story and email/comment to me with a link. I'll make a big post about it. This is a Secret Santa thing, but I'm not doing the "posting all of them anonymously" thing.
-I don't want this to be huge because it will give me a headache. Anyone can play, and you can advertise to your friends who you know would like it or whatever, but I'm not going out of my way to get more people.
-If you're not sure if your recipient will like your fic, look at their journal and see if it's similar to what they've written. If you're still not sure, ask me.
-You don't need to include the words (of Doom!) after everything, but if you want you can.
Any other questions (of doom)? Ask me here!
*Stabbing with fire = be fine with that, but shoot me a comment or an email so I know if you don't mind.
