Rare Pair Shorts

Hello everyone WE'RE BACK again this year with the rarepair_shorts's HALLOWEEN MONSTER MASH.

This will be a low pressure fest which runs from the 1st-31st October. The format and rules are quite simple and very limited. We have a list of 40 Halloween themed prompts (see below) for you to choose from. There are three levels (easy, medium, and hard) and each level has a different amount of prompts. If you pick the easy level then you just pick one prompt from the list, medium level, you pick two prompts, and hard level you pick three or more prompts form the list (below.)

Your fic/art can be funny, fluffy, scary, horror, comedic, open ended, anything you'd like, but it must be complete. No WIPs. If you decide to post it on AO3, use the collection here.

ANNOUNCING THE ANNUAL - SUMMER WISHLIST EVENT @ rarepair_shorts & rarepair_shorts!

How The Event Works: The Wishlist Event wants to to bring you lots of writing fun! [AND ART].

This event runs in two parts. Part 1 – You make a wish list. On May 15, we will make a post where all members will be encouraged to post their wishes about what kind of fic/art they’d like. It’s open to all rare-pairs and gen fics (and art). The signup for the wishes is from May 15-30.

Your wish will be hidden from the general public until May 31. On May 31, we will do the big reveal and everyone can see who wished for what.

Part 2 – Members will be encouraged to fill those wishes from June 1 until August 31.

There is no obligation in this event. If you post a wishlist, you don't need to grant other people's wishes; similarly, if you don't post a wishlist, you may still grant others' wishes.

Your wishlist can be as long and as specific as you want (within reason, of course - please contain your list to one comment), but must contain requests for ficlets (or art) of rare pairings.

After MAY 30 (10 pm Eastern Time), no one else may post a wishlist. If you do post a wishlist, you may certainly edit or add to it at any time before May 30th. (This only applies to people who have logged in w/ an account to post a wishlist. If you post a wishlist anonymously, you CANNOT edit it. We recommend everyone to have an account. For new members, I also encourage people to have a DREAMWIDTH account and use the DREAMWIDTH format for this fest - as I try to encourage people away from LJ).

Please note, there is no wishing format. You can post your wish in any style you want. Pairing specific prompts. List of prompts. List of pairings. – The wishing will begin on May 15. Here's a sample of how people made a wish last year. (LJ Example & DW Example)

For gifts, all fic must be between 200 to 2000 words. No more than that. There is no obligation in this event. You may write as many fics for as many people as you like. More than one person may grant the same wish.

If you have never participated before, and have questions, you can ask below. Comments will be screened. When we answer your question, we will unscreen them. We are both on Livejournal and Dreamwidth. Please note, on May 15, we will post more information. But we welcome questions.

PLEASE DO NOT PM THE MOD ACCOUNT.
