Mini-Promptathon Posting Guide  
This be the RULES FOR POSTING YO' STUFF TO MINI-PROMPTATHON post.

Please read this post fully if you plan to participate and let us know if you have any questions. Happy promptathon everybody!


***
When you can post8:00 A.M. EST on Thursday February 14th.  Here's a handy dandy time zone converter to figure out when this is happening on an internet near you.

How to post:
1.  Respond in a comment to the prompt you are filling.
2.  Make sure to label your submission in the subject line with the type of fanwork(fic/icon/artwork/vid/fanmix/etc.) + the Title + the Rating + the Warnings (or say "chosen not to warn.")  For example:

"FIC: That Time Clint and Natasha Were Awesome Badass Asaassinpeople on Valentine's Day, rated: PG, no warnings"

When filling in the subject line, you may need to view the comm in it's original style (if you don't already). Just make sure you can see a subject line when responding with your submission.

3. Per our rules ratings and a warnings statement our required. If your post does not have this, it will be deleted. If the ratings or the warnings won't fit in the subject line, just leave them at the top of your post.

4.  Try and post the entire work in the comment (if it's short enough), or if not, post a link. I'm all about one-stop shopping whenever possible, so try and post in the main promptathon post if the length allows.  Also, if it is too long to post in the promptathon post, consider posting the first section as a teaser and then a link (b/c that's always fun too.)  Either way, be sure to label your post in the subject line as described above (**points to rule #2**).

For now, only post in the main mini-promptathon post and not directly to the comm so we can avoid being flooded with new posts right out of the gate. 

Remember:
  • A single prompt can be filled by more than one person, so no worries if a prompt you like already has a submission. We are all about moar submissions! The more the merrier!
  • Be sure to wait until it's time to post. Early submissions will be deleted.  (Patience is a virtue, grasshopper.)
  • I will be making a masterlist of prompt fills, which I will try to update every day, so keep an eye out for this.

Questions? Comments? Stuff I forgot?  I'm so excited about this, y'all. So excited.

Re: how about ...
I think "due" isn't really an issue ... it's more that posting starts today (for me it's already past 8am, Valentines Day ... no idea 'bout you Americans xD) and will officially continue until the end of February. Obviously, if you end up writing something for one of the prompts after that (or just don't get yours done in time) no one will kill you, if you post it later.

After the promptathon closes at the end of Feb, I think you would not post it as a comment anymore though, just as a regular fic and just say something like "This was meant for the promptathon blah blubb" or something ...

DID I ANSWER IT RIGHT, MISTRESSES? *shifty unsure eyes to the mods*
