Calling All Artists!

Your time has come! :)

Instructions:

02. Fill out this form and comment to this post with it!<

Type of art you're willing to do:

Three top summaries:

When matching, we'll do our best to get pair you with your preferred summary, but will also be taking into account everything you've written down on your sign-up post. On the unlikely event that everyone chooses the same three stories, we may have to do some matching based on that. But chances are that that won't happen.

This post closes on Tuesday May 26th at 11:59pm. (Note that this is slightly different than the dates specified on the schedule). All comments are screened.

Hello everyone! I'm so sorry that this post is late. Unfortunately the Livejournal maintenance prevented me from logging in on the 15th and wouldn't let me post anything on the 16th. If this ever happens again, you can always check our Twitter for updates! I'm so sorry for the inconvenience.

The claiming post will go up on Sunday May 19th at 11:59pm and will be open one week until Sunday May 26th at 11:59pm PST.

Thank you for your patience! ♥

Calling All Artists!

Your time has come! :)

This is not the claiming post. Please do not claim summaries here.

This post is a list of all the anonymous story summaries that were submitted by our writers, for artists to look at and consider.

How matching works:
As an artist, you will choose your top three summaries from the list. When matching, we'll do our best to get pair you with your preferred summary, but will also be taking into account everything you've written down on your sign-up post. On the unlikely event that everyone chooses the same three stories, we may have to do some matching based on that. But chances are that that won't happen.

The claiming post will go up on Sunday May 19th at 11:59pm PST.

All comments are disabled. If there are questions, please ask them here.

Thank you! ♥

If you have not submitted a summary but you are an writer, you can still participate in the remainder of the challenge but you will not be assigned an artist. There were a few eople who did not check in or submit a summary. I'm working on the assumption that this was purposeful. If it wasn't, please contact me ASAP (either PM or email: magicallysecretive@gmail.com) and we will see adding your summary to the list.

After May 19th, I will accept no more story summaries, and writer-artist matching will begin.

Hello, all! Just letting you know that we're still waiting on a few story summaries. Anonymous summaries will now be posted on Wednesday May 15th. The schedule will follow as below:

May 1st-13th - Second mandatory writer check-in and anonymous summaries submitted. You are encouraged to have 10k written by this point.
May 15th - Anonymous story summaries posted for artists to view.
May 20th-22nd - Artist/writer matching. (Writers should share all their work/rough drafts with their artist at this point.)

Thanks for your understanding everyone! ♥

Hello and welcome to your second Writer Check-In!

You have until Friday May 10th to check in here, and while it's still informal, please remember that it is mandatory.

I need you to answer these questions for me:

Are you still participating?
What is your current word count?
Do you think you're going to finish?

Also!

---> I have been having internet issues recently. This means that I might not get back to you right away, if you have a question. Don't panic! Even if your question is time-sensitive, we'll work it out. Thanks for your patience ♥

---> Calling all writers! Story Summaries are due May 10th at 11:59pm PST!

---> If you have not joined the community, please do so! Along with the story summaries post for writers, artists will also need membership as most of the matching posts in May will be members only! So please request membership.

Thanks, everyone! ♥

Just a reminder of the schedule for the next couple weeks:

May 1st-10th - Second mandatory writer check-in and anonymous summaries submitted. You are encouraged to have 10k written by this point.
May 13th - Anonymous story summaries posted for artists to view.
May 17th-20th - Artist/writer matching. (Writers should share all their work/rough drafts with their artist at this point.)

Thanks guys :)

Hello, everyone!

This is a reminder that the mandatory artist check-in is still open! If you are participating as an artist and have not checked in, please do so ASAP!

The post closes tomorrow night at 11:59pm PST. If you have not checked in at that point, I will assume you are no longer participating. If it was a mistake, PM me and we'll figure something out.

Thanks everyone! ♥

This is it artists, your mandatory check-in! You all have a week or so to comment to this post to confirm your participation. Please could you just answer the following questions for me:

#1. Are you still participating?
#2. Are you already working with any writers, and if so, could you let me know who they are?
#3. How many writers (or additional writers) are you willing to work with?

It is mandatory for all artists to participate in this post so I can have a clearer picture of just how many artists there will be available and how the matching might be shaping up. If you signed up as an artist but do not comment to this post, I will assume you are no longer participating. This post will stay open approximately one week.

Thanks, everyone! ♥

Hello, lovely writers! Welcome to your first check-in! I'm so sorry that it's a little bit late.

So, I know some of you are charging right ahead with your stories, and I know that some of you have yet to get them off the ground. There is only one thing to remember at this stage: DON'T PANIC.

The schedule says that you are encouraged to have 5k written at this point. This is purely a guideline, as we are almost one third of the way through the challenge (Feb 1st - Aug 1st) and this is one third of the minimum word requirement (15k). If you don't have this, that's okay! There were a lot of people last year who started off slowly and still finished - you're good! Keep calm and carry on! :)

If you need support, or someone to rant at, feel free to use shapingprofiles for all your needs. Anything goes there! :)

This post will be open for one week (until March 30th, 11:59pm PST), and for those writers who have not checked in by Thursday night, please expect a reminder PM or email from me. Thank you!

If you all could please answer these questions for me, that would be lovely!

#1. Are you still participating?
#2. Do you have your story mapped out?
#3. How's your word count looking?

It's just an informal check-in for everyone! Please feel free to jump in and support others in this post, and to do the same at shapingprofiles! And if you need any extra support, feel free to contact writing2death, if you need to :)
