YAY! I am so thrilled that people want to do the ficlet exchange again!!! Especially since the recently released Saw 7 is apparently the last Saw movie that will be made, and that needs commemorating in some way!
So... here we go, folks! :)
Welcome to the sign-up post for the third ever
angelfiends drabble/ficlet exchange! (Art, icons or graphics are also acceptable if that's more your thing, though!)
Here are the rules: (being primarily a John/Zep community there are always rules! :D)
If you've never been in an exchange before, what happens is, you sign up to this post using the template below to make a request, and someone will draw/write something for you! But if you make a request, you MUST write or draw something in return. I will be pairing up the givers/receivers using their preferences as closely as possible and email you with what you've been assigned to do, but I CANNOT and WILL NOT change your assignment once it's been sent out. This isn't a contest, so yes, we mods can participate! :D This isn't a full on fic exchange, as the minimum word count is only 200 words! :)
The rules are as follows (PLEASE READ CAREFULLY):
1) By signing up, you commit yourself to drawing or writing for someone. If you think you cannot do the assignment, don't ask to participate (though such small ficlets are very doable!).
2) All fics or art must focus on John and/or Zep as the main character(s). Slash, het or gen are all allowed, as are all ratings. Other characters in the stories or art must be from the Saw fandom ONLY. No crossovers for this exchange, as your writer/artist may not know the other fandom you want.
3) Signups will run until Tuesday November 16th (which will be some time on Wednesday 17th in my time zone, most likely), when I will close this post, and I will email your assignments out the following day. I may extend the deadline if fewer than 3 people sign up by then.
4) This isn't a secret Santa exchange, so you will be posting your work to the community yourselves. You may start posting your gifts to the comm from November 19th 2010 onwards, and all gifts must be posted to the comm by January 31st 2011 (that should be plenty of time and flexible enough a deadline!). If you need an extension, please email me on mamafiend138 AT gmail DOT com or comment here (extensions are usually granted as we're pretty flexible here and understand how RL can be). ALL gift posts must be behind an LJ cut as per the comm rules.
5) All fics must be at least 200 words in length (there is no upper limit) and spell-checked, preferably beta-read. You will need to host your own art online.
6) When posting your completed gift to the community, please follow this format:
