bottom_draco

As we get closer to the fest deadline (one week folks!) it's time to post our submission guidelines for those of you who are ready to submit your fic/art! If you have any questions, please let us know!


POSTING TO AO3:

Things will be a little different this year as we will be posting Bottom Draco fest fics to ArchiveOfOurOwn (AO3) at the same time they are posted to LiveJournal for the 2015 fest. Creations will be part of the bottom_draco collection there and remain anonymous until reveals.

• If you would like to submit your fic or art directly to AO3, you can add it to the Bottom!Draco 2015: Transformations Collection.


• Your creation will show up in the collection and remain anonymous until the end of the fest, and you will also have editing privileges throughout the duration of the fest.


• Very important: if you post your work directly to the collection, you must also add bottomdraco_mod as a co-author to your fic so we can edit headers and such appropriately.


• You must also still send us your header information and an attached copy of your fic or art via email!


• You are not required to post your fic to AO3 yourself. We can post your fic to AO3 on your behalf.


• If you do not have an AO3 account, your fic will be credited to "bottomdraco_mod" after reveals. You can get an AO3 account at a later date and contact us to get your name added to the fic at that time.


• If you *do* have an AO3 account already, please let the mods know your account name so we can attribute it correctly. Include your AO3 account name in your LJ submission below.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

- When you send your submission please include your LJ username in the email subject as well as fic or art.

- Please check the formatting of your fic to ensure there are manual line breaks between paragraphs. There is a problem with some Microsoft Word settings and you have to double space manually!

- Include all other other html coding that is needed (bold, italics, etc).

- A good way to check to make sure your story is formatted correctly is to post it in a private entry in your own journal. That way you can easily see if there is anything amiss in your coding/formatting.

- Don't forget to include an lj-cut tag in your story. The lj-cut text should be "The Title of your Creation". (i.e < lj-cut text = "TITLE" >)

- The fic/art header appears below. Please include your header in both the .doc and the email.
