sfbbmodGuess who lost track of time? I've been waiting for this day for a month; I can't believe I blanked on the day! Thanks to angelette, we're here now, if a day late.
GENERAL RULES & INFORMATION
1. Please make sure you join the Small Fandoms Bang community at![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
smallfandombang. It will be the Author’s responsibility to watch or track the community to make sure you don’t miss anything.
2. Your fandom must be verified before you sign up. If your fandom wasn’t verified during a previous round (and hasn’t since grown too large to qualify), then you should comment here or at the What Qualifies as a Small Fandom post at our sister communitysmallfandomfest to have it verified. The general rule for this community is that any fandom with less than 2,000 fic qualifies.
(For a list of fandoms that have already been qualified, please check the Qualifying Fandoms Database; for a list of fandoms that have already been disqualified, please check the What Qualifies as a Small Fandom post atsmallfandomfest.)
Don’t forget to check the list for fandoms that have been disqualified since the last round.
3. When you sign up please include up to three fandoms that you are most likely to write in on the sign-up form. If you decide at a later date to write in a fandom that you did not list you must contact us first so that we may verify that it qualifies and update our spreadsheet accordingly.
3a. Please note that by including three fandoms you are not signing up to write more than one fic; these are just the fandoms in which you’re most likely to choose to write that one fic.
4. Stories must be at least 10,000 words long. There is no maximum length.
5. All ratings, pairings (gen, het, slash, threesomes), and genres (from horror to romance) are welcome here.
6. AUs are allowed. Crossovers between small fandoms are allowed. Fusions between small fandoms are allowed.
7. Stories must be fictional person fiction only; this challenge does not include real person fiction unless the real person has been fictionalized. (For example, if you’re writing Alexander the Great based on the movie Alexander, or Napoleon based on the Temeraire series.)
8. Stories must be complete and new – no WIPs or previously posted work will be accepted.
9. Authors may sign-up to write more than one fic, and/or to co-write a fic. Please read the FAQ before doing so as there are limits to the number of fic you may sign up to write.
10. If you choose to co-write fic, please only sign up once and list both user names in the form.
11. If you choose to sign-up to write more than one fic, please submit a separate sign-up form for each fic.
12. Please note that check-ins are mandatory.
13. Stories must not be posted anywhere on the web prior to your posting date, in part or in whole. You will be able to share snippets of your story at our support comm,smallfandomcafe.
14. Authors may also sign-up to do art, but may not claim their own fic.
15. Authors, please note that you may be called upon to assist your artist with screencaps, character descriptions, etc. Since this is a multi-fandom, small fandom challenge there is a high probability that Artists will be asked to create artwork for fandoms they are unfamiliar with, so your assistance will be necessary.
For more information, please read the Rules and FAQ before you sign up.
