How to Turn In Your Rough Draft
It's finally that time! You have until August 16th, 2012 to turn in your rough draft for Round 3 of the Vampire Big Bang challenge. First off, to answer some questions we may get.
- We would love it if you could turn in a minimum word count of 7,000, but IF you are ABSOLUTELY sure you will have your fic finished and more than 10,000 words by September 24th, 2012 then turn in the information we ask along with whatever you have. This is important because you have to be sure you will finish, all rough drafts will be going up to get claimed by an artist.
- No one but the mods will see what you turn in. Once your story is claimed by an artist you will be responsible for forwarding them a draft of the story they can do art off. So don't worry if the draft you have now is full of holes and notes.
- You can turn in more than one fic for this challenge. We don't frown on this, its not a problem at all. However, if you are turning in more than one fic please send each in separately.
- The summaries are important! This is what potential artists will be reading to claim a story for art. So please take your time, proofread it, and make sure its something that you think reflects your fic well.

Then add your fic as an attachment, we would prefer it if you had it as an .doc but we can take .docx and .rtf
We will email you back confirming we have gotten the fic. This may not be immediate so please don't worry. If you have any questions at all or need any help leave a comment in this post. Finally, if you don't believe you will be able to complete this challenge please PM me or leave a comment to this post.
If you would like to join the Unofficial Track instead of dropping out you can do that as well, your story won't go into claims buy you will have until September 30th to get your story done. If you can do this I will find an artist for you! If you want to go with this option follow the instructions at this post and just put Unofficial in the subject line.
