hardmode | Round 1! - Writer Sign Ups!

The moment you've all been waiting for (at least those of you who are primarily writers at any rate): WRITER SIGN UPS.

Writer sign ups will be closing May 3d! If you're still waffling on what to write, you have until then to sign-up. Once sign-ups are closed, they are closed (unless you manage to give me a very compelling reason to allow you in the running on May 4th. ~~For the record: I am easily bribed.~~)

Quick rundown on what is expected from writers, otherwise known as 'rules':

You are committing to writing a 10,000 word fic. Not 100 individual drabbles, but one long 10k word fic. If you need to go over the minimum, that is fine too! But it must be complete and finished by the due date, whether the final word count is 10k or 100k. The rough draft should be finished by July 31st; that is three months to write. Posting details will be put up before the posting period begins.

If you have a fic that you've already started and want to finish, you can finish it for this challenge so long as you write at least 10k new words for it.

The fandom has to be from a gaming fandom. If for whatever reason, you're unsure that your fandom 'counts', PM me with the fandom in question and we'll try to figure it out.

If you have any other questions, please ask in the FAQ and I'll try to answer them ASAP.

With that out of the way, fill this form out and comment to this post to sign up!:

User/Author Name: (If they're different, include both. This will help prevent confusion later when sephirothlady posts with the name Becky.)
E-mail: (This is only for the off-chance I need to contact you for some reason or other. Comments will be screened so don't worry about spam-bots!)
Fandom(s): (Spell out the full name of the fandom(s). For example: Final Fantasy VII instead of FF7. If it's a crossover of two or more fandoms, include all of them.)
Vague idea of what you're writing?: (Include as much or as little detail as you want here. This is just to make things easier come artist/mixer match up time. Include characters, pairings and themes you think you might be writing about -- but don't feel as though you're committing to that idea! You're allowed to change later on, if you find the muse takes you elsewhere.)
Will you attempt to take on another 'class' for this challenge? If yes, what is it?: (For those of you who are ambitious -- or at least very good multi-taskers -- would you be willing to beta, cheer, and/or create art or something else for another writer's work? This is not a commitment, but it will give me an idea of how many other people I might have for other classes.)

Anything else?: (...on the off chance I forgot something dreadfully important in the sign-ups. You can include whatever relevant detail you feel needs to be added here, such as your city of birth or mother's maiden name.)

Comments are screened and OpenID should be allowed. For those of you who use OpenID, there is a special quest, just for you! If you have any desire for a coveted DreamWidth account, an item that grants you the ability to post entries in your own personal journal as well as communities, you simply need to include the phrase "I WANT A DREAMWIDTH, GIMME!" to the end of your comment and an invite code will be e-mailed to you!

Course if you don't want one, there's no need to complete that easymode quest. Arrangements will be made for those who don't have a DW account come posting time, but. You know, if you like to collect ~rare items~ then there is that!

Happy ~~gaming~~ ~~noob hunting~~ ~~facerolling~~ writing!

EDIT: SIGN-UPS ARE NOW CLOSED. I'll leave the comment open on the off-chance someone needs to make a last minute change, but once the fandom list is posted for artists/mixers/whatevers then that is finalized!

Hmm...Ideally, I'd like a bit more than just the fandom for your vague idea. If you want to wait until later to sign up, you have until May 3rd to decide. /o/

Oh, this could be fascinating! \o/ Thank you for signing up and good luck!
