Hey, guys! So, with one thing and another (and excellent enabling by a bunch of amazing people), I would like to announce:
THE HAWAII FIVE-0 CHRISTMAS TROPE FEST
1st - 31st December 2011RULES:1. This is a
fandom-wide fest, so all prompts/pairings/scenarios are welcome.
2. Therefore there will be
no character bashing tolerated. Please be respectful of everyone's feelings and preferences. If I see an instance of any kind of derision or bullying of anyone by anyone, the offending party will be banned from the fest (and very likely from this journal as well). This journal is a fun and safe place for me, and I want it to be one for everyone who chooses to drop by also. Any prompt which does not conform to these rules will be disregarded.
3. The only iron-clad rule that I will enforce is
no underage sex. All parties engaging in sexual intercourse must be over the age of 16 (because that is the average age of concent in most places).
4. If you want to prompt for any heavy kinks, make sure you include a
warning in the subject line. Same goes for warnings for character death, non/dub-con, etc. I don't think we'll be getting many of those, what with it being Christmas Tropes and all, but if you would normally put it down as a warning in a fic you write, then include it, please.
5. Please include the
pairing you're prompting for in the subject line, for ease of compilation later on. After the last day of prompting I shall compile a list of prompts by pairing and put it up on this journal, referenced to in the
h50_noticeboard and
h50_fic comms.
6. This fest is open to
both fic and art, so please make sure you note whether you're hoping for fic or art, or you don't mind which.
7. All prompts and fics/art should be
Christmas-themed. Other than that, go wild! If you need an idea of what Christmas Tropes entail, you can check out the
Christmas Tropes page on TV Tropes.
8. When posting starts on 1st December, some time before midnight on 31st December all participants will post their fics on their own journals and comment to the designated post/email/pm me with a link to their fics, and which (if any) prompt they wrote them for. At the end of each day I will put up a post with all the links to everyone's fic and promote it on
h50_fic. You may feel free to post it to whatever other comm you like, and I will make a collection on AO3 you can post it to as well. This fest is very laid back, so all I ask is that you link me to your stories when you post them!
9. There is
no minimum or maximum word count -- except that fics should be
over 100 words long.
10. There is
no maximum number of times a prompt can be claimed -- as many people as want to can write or make art for one prompt. You don't have to comment with which prompt you choose, but if you only know one thing about me it ought to be that I love chatter and squeeing above all things, so I will not mind
at all if you do! :)
11.
HAVE ALL THE FUN! <3Dates to remember:Prompt post goes up: 27th - 31st October
