Write an original story, take your two favorite shows and cross them together. Write that ending to that episode of ___ blank. And, if you need them, you can find the full rules list <a href="http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=writers_choice">here</a>. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:wc_moderator:1672 2004-12-28T15:57:53Z 2009-10-12T16:33:19Z <a name="cutid1"></a><br /><i>Updated: October 12, 2009</i><br /><br><br /><p><strong>1) Can I crosspost ficlets/drabbles to Writers' Choice? </strong></p><br /> <p>Absolutely. You can even post your Writers' Choice ficlets to other sites, as long as the sites or communities don't mind.</p><br /><p><strong>2) Do I have to mark it as having been posted to Writers' Choice? </strong></p><br /><p>No. We'd like it if you would as it's advertising for Writers' Choice, but it is not necessary.</p><br /><p><strong>3) Can I post something that I wrote last week from <em>_____</em> community? </strong></p><br /><p>Yes. We ask that you label it as so. It's free advertisement for the other community.</p><br /><p><strong>4) Can I make suggestions for challenges, submit pictures, etc? </strong></p><br /><p>Absolutely. You can respond to any <em>wc_moderator</em> post with them.</p><br /><p><strong>5) I own/manage another drabble community will you put a link to the community on your Info page? </strong></p><br /><p>If it is not an RPS or RPF community, yes. Just ask. We would ask that you return the favor.</p><br /><p><strong>6) I have a LJ/website/etc and I want to link to Writers' Choice, can I? </strong></p><br /><p>Yes.</p><br /><p><strong>7) I have a question for the moderators, what do I do? </strong></p><br /><p>You can either e-mail us or you can respond/comment to any <em>wc_moderator</em> post and ask them. (Maybe you're not the only who has that question.)</p><br /><p><strong>8) How many challenges does Writers' Choice have a year? </strong></p><br /><p>51. We have a two week Open Challenge at the end of every year. That said, sometimes a challenge will have several things you can pick from (word, image, quote). You do not need to write on all, but you can.</p><br /><p><strong>9) Can I do a crossover with multiple shows/movies/books/ets? </strong></p><br /><p>Yes. Just make sure you label.</p><br /><p><strong>10) Is there a deadline for the challenges? </strong></p><br /><p>Not any longer. Challenges are now open ended. New challenges will still be posted every week, but you now have longer to work with each challenge.</p><br /><p><strong>11) Can I post/write for a past challenge? </strong></p><br /><p>Yes. Just remember to label which challenge/prompt you are writing for/answering.</p><br /><p><strong>12) Adult Content allowed? How should it be marked?</strong></p><br /><p>Answers to community challenges (drabbles/ficlets, etc) may contain content of an adult nature. 'Adult' implies nudity, violence and/or sexual themes as described in the written word. All stories of an adult nature should be placed behind the lj-cut tag and should include a warning in the header text before the lj-cut explaining that there is adult content. [EX: Warning: This drabble contains content of an adult nature.]</p><br /><p><strong>13) Do I need to be cautious with the text I put in the lj-cut tag?</strong></p><br /><p>Yes. Please make sure the text you put there is Wok Safe.</p><br /><p><strong>14) I don't have an author tag or my fandom doesn't have a tag, what do I do?</strong></p><br /><p>Use the <em>new: author</em> or <em>new: fandom tag</em>. Once a week or so one of the Mods will go in and create new tags for anything posted with those tags.</p><br /><p><strong>15) Are non-fic posts allowed on Writers_Choice?</strong></p><br /><p>Yes. BUT, they must be Mod approved before posting them to the community. The acceptable non-fic posts allowed include: Mod Posts, Challenge Announcments, and announcements for new drabble communities or affiliates</p><br /><p><strong>16) Can I affiliate with Writers_Choice?</strong></p><br /><p>Yes. If you are a mod of another drabble/writing community and would like to affiliate with us, please comment <a href="http://community.livejournal.com/writers_choice/275788.html">here</a>.</p><br /><p><strong>17) Is real person fiction allowed?</strong></p><br /><p>No. No real person slash or fiction is allowed. [Yes, you can mention Harrison Ford in a drabble but the drabble itself CANNOT be about Harrison Ford's friday night at the movies.] We get that RPF/RPS is the hottest thing in fandom since sliced bread, but Writers_Choice is not the place for it.</p><br /><br /><br /><strong>Note:</strong> If you are not sure about a rule or have a question, please email any of the mods or respond/comment to any <em>wc_moderator</em> post and ask them. (Maybe you're not the only who has that question.)<br /><br /><br /><br />Back to <a href="http://www.livejournal.com/community/writers_choice/">Writers' Choice</a>.<br /> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:wc_moderator:1360 2004-01-19T06:15:14Z 2005-05-30T07:06:43Z This journal is for moderating the <a href="http://www.livejournal.com/community/writers_choice/">Writer's Choice Drabble Community</a>.
