A fic exchange for those who love roadtrips, sight-seeing, B&Bs, summer romances, travel mishaps, and all the vacation shenanigans in between.
Schedule
June 18--June 24 : Signups
June 25: Signups Close
July 1: Assignments Sent Out
August 13 : Mid-Point Check In
September 10: Rough Draft Due
September 17 – September 23: Fics Due/Posting Period
Rules
1. All fics must stay on theme. In other words, the characters need to be vacationing or relaxing or attempting to (no seriously, vacations gone wrong are the best).
2. Fics must be at least 1,000 words, but there is no upper limit.
3. In order to get a fic, you have to write one.
4. Previously written fics are not eligible for this exchange and all submitted fics should be complete (i.e. not just the first chapter of a multi-part fic).
5. All fics must be beta read. There will be a post around the midpoint for people to volunteer their beta services.
6. If you can not complete your assignment just contact me before the deadline so I can find a pinch-hitter. If you default without notification, you will not be allowed to participate next year.
7. Fics will be posted by you, but this is an anonymous exchange, so until then keep your assignment between you and your beta.
8. If there isn't a rough draft in my inbox on September 10th, your assignment will be given to a pinch hitter. If you complete your fic anyway, your recipient will just be a super lucky person with two fics.
9. Have fun. Play nice.
