FEST: EXTENSION OF SIGN-UPS

[bottomdraco-mod.livejournal.com]

We need more artists!

In light of few artists participating, and also some writers expressing desire to join, we will be transferring most of the slots from artists over to the writer roster!

Therefore,

PROMPT CLAIMING IS GOING TO BE POSTPONED TO JUNE 8, 4:00PM GMT

We are opening up slots for 15 more writers (transferring the 15 slots from artists to writers) and 10 artists UP TO JUNE 8, 3:00PM GMT.

SIGN UP HERE!

So grab the writers and artists you know who may be able to participate in the fest, and kindly link them to us :D

NEW FEST DATES!
Fest Schedule
May 20 – June 4: Prompt Collection
June 5 – June 8: Open Sign-ups (15 more slots for writers and 10 for artists)
June 8 - June 20: Prompt Claiming (first-come, first-served)
September 15: Submissions Due
October 1: Fest posting begins!

If you are already a participant but have not yet posted the participant banner in your site/journal/DA, please do so now! :D You can get it over here

For all of the approved participants, please take note of your TOP 5 prompt *numbers* (based from the prompts lists after this post here and here). On June 8 you will be replying with the five numbers of your chosen prompts according to your most to least desired prompt.

We are very sorry for the delay, but we hope this will give more time for the participants to choose from the prompts list as well as free up your calendar for that date.

It would also give time for the participants to find a representative who will post their chosen prompts for them if they are not able to go online at the time. Just send us a message of the name of the person who will be representing you before we open the prompt claiming.

Questions, comments or suggestions, please post them here!

I kinda don't get that top 5 prompt thing...

Isn't it supposed to work like "first come, first serve"? Why do we need a ranking if it's clear that the first one who claims a certain prompt, will get it?

[thilia.livejournal.com]

I think it's because the comments are screened. If someone else claims your favourite prompt before you, you won't know, so you'd get your second favourite then XD

EDIT because I'm made of fail XD

*meep* oooooh!!! :D

I get it now. Thanks, Thilia! <3

*sigh* I want to draw something for this fest so badly... but I also want to write something... and I've already got a place as a writer. *feels torn* XD

[thilia.livejournal.com]

Me too! :) I might finish my fic and then claim another prompt to draw something ^^ I'll see.

And I'm made of fail because of typos :P

[androidiordna.livejournal.com]

whaaaaaat?! is that possible? that'd be fantastic! <3

wheeee!!! *is all wobbly and excited now*

[thilia.livejournal.com]

I guess so :D If you submit early and there are still a few available prompts, that should definitely be possible. *shrugs* ^^

I'm in the same boat. I was drawing little Dracos all day yesterday because I was so excited about the fest, but I'm also signed up as a writer. I posted in the questions thread a few weeks ago and asked about whether we'd be able to double-up if there were still spots left after the 25th, but that's not looking too likely. We are more than welcome to draw art for our own festival fics and submit them together though, so that's probably what I'll do. I think I'll make some fest icons with the art I drew yesterday. :D

[thilia.livejournal.com]

Oooh, true! I could add an illustration :D

[bottomdraco-mod.livejournal.com]

We'd love for you to make fest icons & we're very glad that you're excited about the fest.

& I'm really sorry about the inconvenience of rescheduling but we didn't get enough artists & some members were still interested in writing.

[bottomdraco-mod.livejournal.com]

What about drawing art for the story you're writing?

We're discussing the possibility of allowing people to participate as a writer and and artist using two separate prompts.

*lulz* Why are you made of fail? :3
