GENERAL RULES & INFORMATION
1. Please make sure you join the community. It will be the Author’s responsibility to watch or track the community to make sure you don’t miss anything.
2. Your fandom must be verified before you sign up. If your fandom wasn’t previously verified last round then you should comment here or at the What Qualifies as a Small Fandom post at our sister community![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
smallfandomfest to have it verified. The general rule for this community is that any fandom with less than 2,000 fic qualifies. (For a list of fandoms that have already been disqualified, please check the What Qualifies as a Small Fandom post.)
3. Stories must be at least 10,000 words long. There is no maximum length.
4. All ratings, pairings (gen, het, slash, threesomes), and genres (from horror to romance) are welcome here.
5. AUs are allowed. Crossovers between small fandoms are allowed. Fusions between small fandoms are allowed.
6. Stories must be fictional person fiction only; this challenge does not include real person fiction unless the real person has been fictionalized. (For example, if you’re writing Alexander the Great based on the movie Alexander, or Napoleon based on the Temeraire series.)
8. Stories must be complete and new – no WIPs or previously posted work will be accepted.
9. Authors may sign-up to write more than one fic, and/or to co-write a fic. Please read the FAQ before doing so as there are limits to the number of fic you can sign up to write.
10. If you choose to co-write fic, please only sign up once and list both usernames in the form.
11. If you choose to sign-up to write more than one fic, please sign up separately for each fic.
12. Please note that check-ins are mandatory this round.
13. Stories must not be posted anywhere on the web prior to your posting date.
14. Authors may also sign-up to do art, but not for his/her own fic.
15. Authors, please note that you may be called upon to assist your artist with screencaps, character descriptions, etc. Since this is a multi-fandom, small fandom challenge there is a high probability that Artists will be asked to create artwork for fandoms they are unfamiliar with.
Please read the Rules and FAQ before you sign up.

Date: 9/1/12 02:46 pm (UTC)Also, the form is saying that we must list at least three fandoms or it won't process, so I typed in n/a for fandoms #1 & #2.

Date: 9/2/12 01:35 am (UTC)(no subject)
Date: 9/3/12 01:34 am (UTC)And lastly, do the books by Tamora Pierce count? There are more than one series, which I can clarify if you're having trouble with a google search, but I think even all together they'd be small enough...
Oh, wait, the David Eddings books-- I asked about them last year at the 'fest and they counted, but I guess I should check again? Maybe not.
Sorry for the deluge of questions! Just trying to cover all bases before I submit a form :D

Date: 9/3/12 12:25 pm (UTC)Oops! I was thinking about the people who submitted a dozen fandoms for verification last round rather than those who knew which fandom they wanted to write in. I'll make a note of that as well. *g*

Date: 9/3/12 12:42 pm (UTC)(In future it would be easier for me if you specified which book series you're interested in so I don't have to check every series the author wrote. Thanks.)

Date: 9/4/12 12:37 am (UTC)They're combined into one fandom on FF.Net, along with four other titles, so I'm not sure...
(no subject)
Date: 9/4/12 02:31 pm (UTC)Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes has 57 stories at AO3, and 6 at FFNet.
I'd like to do both stories. Still a little unclear on how to sign up for both. (I've filled out the google doc form once).

Date: 9/4/12 05:34 pm (UTC)You need to sign up (ie, fill out the form) for each fic you want to write. If you've only signed up for one, you still need to fill out the form again for the second fic. Thanks.

Date: 9/9/12 04:50 pm (UTC)You had a Jericho story last year and I've seen prompts for Jericho in smallfandomfest, so I'm assuming that still qualifies.
I'm pretty sure Rosemary Sutcliff's Roman-era novels also qualify: there's somewhere just over 150 works at AO3 under the parent tag for the Eagle of the Ninth series and around the same number at fanfiction.net listed under the 2011 movie. (I can't find anything in Books.) Many of the stories are on both archives.
So, just to check... I'm good to sign up with this crossover, yes?

Date: 9/11/12 05:17 pm (UTC)(no subject)
Date: 9/13/12 07:02 pm (UTC)1. Is the fandom of Battle Royale movies considered a small fandom? Can I write for that fandom?
2. What about the fandom point pleasant
3. Is Flashpoint still considered a small fandom?
