hc_bingo_lj_backup | Amnesty Challenges: May

hc-bingo-mod.livejournal.com posting in

Dear players, it's time for the May mini-challenge - last challenge for the Round Three. This time we're going to try something a bit different.

If you comment on this post, you get a set of four randomly chosen prompts. You then complete and submit one fill written for a rare/small fandom. You can choose one prompt or combine two, three or all four out of your stamp.

Rules:
- For the purpose of this challenge rare/small fandom means a fandom with roughly less than 400 fics, as determined by checking AO3, FF.net, main livejournal comms for the fandom and quick googling. The criteria is, obviously, approximate; our purpose is to encourage players to turn to less written-in fandoms rather than to be really specific about defining the size of the fandom. If you have doubts about your fandom of choice, PM or e-mail the mods, and we will give you the Word of Mod on whether or not it's eligible.

- Installments in series (of books, movies, games and so on) count as separate fandoms if they have completely different characters.

- ETA for clarification: Different media versions of same canon (i.e., book! and movie!verses and so on) count as the same fandom if they have same set of characters.

- Crossovers between two or more eligible fandoms are allowed; crossover between elegible and inelegible fandoms are not.

- The deadline for posting your completed fill is May 31st. As long as your submission is in the posting queue while it's May 31st anywhere in the world, you've finished on time. There are no penalties for defaulting: if you didn't finish your fill on time, it can still be posted during the amnesty period, but it won't bring you points.

- The prize for finishing and submitting your story in time is 15 points towards Round 3 and a banner. You can sign up to play even if you didn't participate in Round 2 and/or don't plan to participate in Round 3.

- If you're uncomfortable with writing about sexual trauma and/or abuse based situations, please note that when you sign up so we can give you a prompts set avoiding these areas altogether. Additionally, you can look at the list of prompts before signing up and veto from one to three prompts that would be triggery/uncomfortable for you to write about. If you need more than three prompts vetoed, please contact the

hc_bingo_mod by PM or e-mail and we will do our best to work with you.

- The warning policy is the same: even if it is in the prompt, you are still required to warn for rape/non-con, dub-con, incest, character death/suicide, graphic self-harm, any type of sexual trauma, any type of child/domestic abuse and other triggering themes or images. The other warnings are left to your discretion, though we encourage you to warn as fully as possible. When in doubt, please err on the side of caution. If you don't want to warn for something to avoid spoiling the readers, please use greyed-out warnings.

Please also check the rules and FAQ for general rules and requirements.
