About
This is a community dedicated to monthly writing challenges for the Inuyasha anime/manga series. It is unique in that stories will be submitted to the maintainer/mod and then posted anonymously.
Rules
First and foremost, please be courteous to all those who participate. Constructive criticism is encouraged, but personal attacks and flaming will not be tolerated.
All pairings; genres; ratings up to R; and characters, including original or those who are seldom seen, are welcome. Character bashing, however, is not.
Challenges will be limited to stories of one-shot length. This means that anything over 500 words up to LJ's word limit are welcome here. The only thing we ask is that you not post anything that's part of a series. We're going for anonymity here. That means we're trying to keep people difficult to identify. Identifiable writing styles are beyond our control, but that's all part of the fun.
Commenting on entries is encouraged. We just ask that the authors of the stories please wait to answer comments until the reveal/awards post is up.
Are you the author and want to know what's been said about your story? Clicking on the "Track This" button at the bottom of any post will allow you to get notified by e-mail when someone leaves a comment even though the post wasn't made from your account.
Do not post your entry anywhere before the end of the challenge month! You will be banned if it is found out that you deliberately posted something elsewhere before you were supposed to. Please don't do it. We want this to be a fun community. Don't be the one to spoil it.
Anything over an R rating is not permitted. Citrus content is okay so long as it doesn't exceed that rating.
New themes are chosen by the winner of the previous month. Ex: September's winner will choose October's theme. Themes are turned in at the time of entry submission so that they may be posted as soon as the winner/reveal entry is posted.
In the event that we don't receive enough entries for a voting post to be made, themes will be taken from a poll of those previously polled. Theme polls will be post periodically to insure a rotating list. There must be at least three entries for a voting post to be made. Three to four entries will result in a single award banner given. Five or more entries will result in three banners.
