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!

Do you realise I have been sat clicking refresh on this community & the two prompt entries since 4.00pm? :P

When you said 4.00pm GMT, I completely forgot about British Summertime, so I came at 4.00pm and have been constantly clicking since :P

In the later description it says that on the 10th of June we reply with our five prompts, but doesn't prompt claiming open on the 8th? :)

LOL! Me too XD

[hitsuzen-hime.livejournal.com]

LoL! I've been doing the same thing for the past hour and some change. Did the math wrong on the timezone conversion. I am also curious as to the 8th and the 10th, so we claim on the 8th but we post the 10th our top five requests so incase you didn't get your first choice the mods know what your top five are?

[androidiordna.livejournal.com]

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

[androidiordna.livejournal.com]

*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

[dt8thd.livejournal.com]

That's... a good question actually.*is confused* I have an appointment on the 10th, so I'm hoping it's the 8th. :P

[scarletladyy.livejournal.com]

At least i'm not the only one :P I felt like a right muppet :P

[scarletladyy.livejournal.com]

Good to see it's not just me :P Silly BTS x]

[androidiordna.livejournal.com]

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

[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

We're really sorry about the last minute changes to the schedule. We've been getting requests for more slots in the writer category & we had very few artists that agreed to participate so we thought it best to extend the sign ups for a little bit.

Sorry!

[dt8thd.livejournal.com]

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

[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* ^^

[thilia.livejournal.com]

Oooh, true! I could add an illustration :D

[asdjhk.livejournal.com]

Again, sorry about the last minute changes.

& one an unrelated note, I LOVE YOUR ICON. I LOVE STARFIGHTER.

[thilia.livejournal.com]

It's fine :D

Awww yes! Starfighter is awesome :D

♥ ♥ ♥

[scarletladyy.livejournal.com]

No worries :D

[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.

[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.

[asdjhk.livejournal.com]

oh, god. another icon ♥

It's one of the best online comics I've read in a while, I just wish hamlet would update faster. T_T

[thilia.livejournal.com]

I made some Starfighter icons (http://community.livejournal.com/thilicons/3470.html) a while ago, if you're interested :D

Yes, she should update more often but it's a lot of work, so I'm happy whenever she DOES update XD

[olimakiella.livejournal.com]

I'm actually kind of relieved, I went outside to bathe my dogs and came back to take another shower when I thought... "Holy Shit! What's the time!" and then I checked my computer and it said 12:49 and I went .... "SHIT!"

But wait! The 8th is a Monday! NO! I have to work on Monday I won't make it! Oh well, I guess I won't get my prompt after all. *is depressed* I hope the ones left are ones I can do.
