rarecharactersSo, sign-ups are well under way. Thanks to everyone who has signed up so far!
A summary of fandoms requested/offered can be found here and a list of requests can be found here. That way you can check if the prompts in your preferred fandoms are something you can actually write for. Or find someone you'd like to treat.
Speaking of which, we would also like to introduce our Treat Collection. All treats may go in there. (Use rarecharactertreats as Collection to post in.)
Hang on, what in the blue hell is a treat?
A treat basically is a gift fic that is not your official assignment. You write a 'treat' for someone who left a prompt.
People can leave prompts that are unrelated to the official exchange. Things you didn't think of in your sign-up, or that maybe didn't fit, or just prompts that you didn't want to put in your sign-up but would still like to leave for other people to see. Or once the exchange is over, requests that weren't fulfilled can be posted there as well so that maybe someone else will have a go at it.
A treat isn't subject to any requirements, it can only be 300 words for example. Also, it isn't due on a specific date or assigned by us to an author.
It boils down to the treat collection being a prompt meme. People prompt things and writers who feel inspired can claim them and write a 'treat' for the prompter without the restrictions of the official exchange.
Why is it a prompt meme?
Since we have a lot of fandom nominations with only two or three characters, there is a lack of characters to choose from and not everyone might want to request/offer the ones available. So, we want to give you the chance to request individual characters.(Or use it as a way to extend your sign-up, but pssht, we didn't say that.) There is, however, no guarantee that any of your requests will be fulfilled.
How does it work?
Choose a character or several and leave a prompt of what you would like to see. You can be as specific or as open-ended as you like. Be advised that "Oh, I'd love anything" prompts are not permissible here.
How many prompts can I leave?
Two for now. After the main challenge is over, the count will upped.
Do I have to participate in the main challenge to leave a prompt?
No, everyone is more than welcome here!
How many prompts may I claim?
One at a time, please. We do not want to put a cap on you, but if you want to claim more than five prompts, consider waiting to see if no one else wants them.
What are the minimum requirements?
It's a gift. There are none.
When are the claims due?
There is no due date for claims.
My favourite prompt has already been fulfilled. Can I still claim it?
Sure! But consider looking around for an unfulfilled claim that might need your attention first.
Why is my prompt left anonymously?
In short, we have a prompt meme that doubles as a treat collection. So yay, more prompts!
