fest 2018: claiming post! (hp drizzle)

[hp_drizzlemod]

CLAIMING IS NOW CLOSED

CLAIMING IS NOW OPEN!

After receiving so many gorgeous prompts, it is now time to claim them! Each prompt may be claimed once for fic and once for art. Claiming closes on August 7th, submissions are due on August 15th and we will start posting on September 1st.

Please note, this year, we are doing things a little bit different. This is so anyone who doesn't have an LJ or a DW account can also sign up. You have to fill out this GOOGLE FORM and let us know what prompt you're claiming.

It's all still anonymous, the fest is still anonymous, and reveals will be posted at the end of the fest sometime in October. When you claim, try to keep that info to yourself and your closest friends. Do not share with others what prompt you've claimed, etc... you know, anonymous.

Claiming info is below the cut.

All my thanks to the most amazing fangqueen for sorting through the prompts and coming up with the most awesome PROMPT LIST categorized by their genres/pairing/etc...

The PROMPT LIST is here. (Google Doc).

CLAIMING POST IS HERE (Google Form).

-Choose TWO prompts in order of your preference. You will only be assigned ONE prompt, if possible your first choice.
-Claims will be assigned on a first come, first served basis.
-Each prompt can be claimed once for fic and once for art.
-Your fics do have to be at least 1000 words long, and there is no upper limit.
-We will confirm your assignment per e-mail as soon as possible; if you don't hear from us within 48 hours, feel free to poke us! – email: hpdrizzlemods@gmail.com
-As soon as you've submitted your work, you may claim another prompt, whether this is after the claiming deadline or not.

SUBMISSION INFO: POST YOUR FIC/ART on AO3. If you don't have an AO3, and don't want one, email us your fic/art.

-Claiming closes on August 7th at approximately 23:59 UTC.
-If you cannot find a prompt that strikes your fancy, don't worry! You can also claim your own prompt, but please let us know in your sign-up!
-You can let others claim a prompt for you, but please make sure that they specify whom they are claiming for and provide your contact information, not theirs.
-If anything should go wrong and you find your muse leaving you, please contact us as soon as possible! We understand that things come into the way and I promise that we really don't bite, but it costs you and us a lot of time and energy and we won't be impressed if you just disappear into nothing. We might have to remember that, too. Seriously, just talk to us. As long as you stay in touch, everything will be fine! (And we'll also happily grant extensions if needed, so don't hesitate to ask!)
-If we forgot anything or if you still have questions, please don't hesitate to ask them via e-mail to hpdrizzlemods@gmail.com

There is no penalty for dropping out. We would just like to know. That is all. You can come back for the 2019 fest and try again. But please LET US KNOW.

Additionally: Please DO NOT PM the moderators. email: hpdrizzlemods@gmail.com ~ Thanks!

REMINDER: all your fics will need to be beta'd. If you do not have a beta, let us know, we'll find you one. I like to read/skim through all the fics when we get the submissions and if I find a lot of mistakes, I will reject your fic. Which only means that we'll work with you to make it better. We don't reject anything ever, this is just a disclaimer so you know that we're very serious people (!!) that want you to have fun and want your stories to be appreciated by all.

Just an FYI, we don’t play favourites. The earlier you submit, the earlier your fic / art will be posted. It pays to submit early. The only exception is that if we get 12 HARRY/DRACO fics in a row, we might spread that out a bit. (Same goes for Draco/Hermione).

We want you (and us) to have fun. So don’t stress, and don’t let it rain on your face. Let it rain on your muse (in a good way). Wait, did that make sense? I might be drunk on some hot chocolate with Baileys because it’s really cold here.

HAVE FUN!

OH and we're also on TUMBLR.
