2012 Pokemon Holiday Exchange

[pokemod]

Welcome to pokeprompts' third annual pokémon holiday fanfic FANWORK exchange!

How this works: sign up, give someone a fanwork (fanfiction or fanart), and receive a gift in return. Everyone wins! ♥

Two big changes this year:

• You don't have to be a member of pokeprompts to play—You just have to have a valid OpenID account (e.g., a DW or LJ account; here's a list of some other OpenID providers). The more the merrier!! If you're new to the whole OpenID thing: go here to log into DW with your OpenID, and then you should be able to leave your sign-up as a comment to this post.


• This exchange is open to BOTH FANFICTION AND FANART. ("Fanart" for this exchange is defined as drawing/illustrating.) If you can write fic, draw art, or do both, you are cordially invited to join this exchange!

Dates

★ Sign-ups will last until November 3, 2012.

★ Assignments will be handed out on (or possibly before) November 5, 2012.

★ Gift Fanworks are due before or by December 22, 2012. That gives you almost two months to create a glorious piece of fanart or fanfic.

★ Gifts will be distributed on December 28, 2012.

Rules/Directions

★ Fics should be at least 1,000 words long. You can get there however you would like (e.g., a collection of drabbles is fine).

★ Fanart should be...an equivalent amount of effort to 1k words of fic. If you want to get there through several smaller sketches or works, that's fine!

★ You can't pick what type of work (fanfic or fanart) you will receive; we'll simply match you according to what you ask for. Don't worry, it's going to be awesome!

★ E-mail your fanwork to pokeprompts@gmail.com by Dec. 22. That will give us a few days to pinch-hit for anyone who drops without warning. (Please don't do that! ;_; But if you're going to, the sooner we know the better.)

★ Please e-mail your completed fanwork to us as an attached .txt/.doc/.rtf (fic) or .jpg/.png (art) file. Please also fill out our pokeprompts header. For fics, make sure your document includes proper HTML coding! That means <b></b> instead of bolding text, <i></i> instead of italicizing, etc.

★ For fic, please get a beta-reader! You can ask for one on willbetaforfood or betaplease if you don't have one.

Sign Up
SIGN-UPS ARE CLOSED.
You're too late to join the exchange, sorry! See you next year :)

Copy/paste/fill out this form in a comment to this entry! (Don't touch the HTML formatting, just fill it out! Delete the stuff in parentheses, though.) All comments are screened.

TO GIVE <b>Username:</b> (write as "username @ place", so for example "username @ LJ" or "username @ DW") <b>E-Mail:</b> (please give us something you check!) <b>Drawing or Writing?:</b> (You can say both, and choose what you'll do later once you've received your assignment. You can even do a mixed-media piece if you're feeling ambitious!) <b>Can you pinch-hit?:</b> (go here for an explanation: http://www.fanhistory.com/wiki/Pinch_hitter ) <b>WILL Create:</b> <i>Characters/Pairings:</i> (what characters and pairings you prefer writing/drawing) <i>Verse:</i> (games, anime, manga, etc. Mention specifics if necessary.) <i>Rating:</i> (e.g., "G to NC-17") <b>WON'T Write or Draw:</b> (List games/gens/series/titles here! Also list anything that bothers you, which you won't write/draw: squicks, genres, characters/pairings, verses, angst, etc.) <hr /> TO RECEIVE <b>Username:</b> (same as above please) <b>Pairings/Characters:</b> (who do you want your gift to be about? If you're talking about confusing characters (ex: Green is in both the games and PokeSpe), be sure to clarify. Also, no original characters.) <b>Acceptable Rating:</b> (e.g., "G to NC-17") <b>Prompt:</b> (This is NOT optional. Multiple prompts are fine. Anything goes--scenarios, images, quotes, videos, songs, lyrics, whatever--just keep it work-safe. If you give a one-word prompt, you *must* offer at least one prompt alternative that isn't just a word.) <b>Don't Want:</b> (Whatever you wouldn't want to receive: squicks, stuff like sad endings/character death/violence, porn, etc.)

Questions, comments, whatever? Leave a comment and we'll get back to you!
