Author Sign-Ups - Now Open!

Hey guys, Round One author sign-ups are now OPEN! Here is a refresher for how this process will go:

Authors can sign up NOW, giving general contact information. This will reserve their spot in line for a prompt, if they chose to claim one. Prompts are first-come, first-serve, in the order of author sign-up.

If you are considering claiming a prompt, it is in your best interest to sign up sooner rather than later!

Round One sign-ups will close on July 12, 2019 at midnight EST. If you are not ready to commit just yet, there will be another opportunity to sign up for the festival in early September.

Before signing up, please read the RULES and the SCHEDULE, both linked here. You will be required to agree to both of these when you submit your author sign-up.

Authors will be able to claim their prompts during the week of July 12-19.

There will be two check-ins, on September 6, and November 8. 

Round One fics are all due on January 3, 2020!

Feel free to ask/message with any questions! I am so excited to have ou guys on board!

Beta/Britpicker Sign Ups!

If you’re interested in being a beta and/or a Brit picker for the Popularry Culture Fic Fest, you may sign up now!

You may sign up >>>here<<<

I’ll make a list of betas and britpickers and update as people sign up. The list will be found here.

We are looking for betas and Britpickers!

If you are interested in betaing or Britpicking for the 1D Short Fic Fest, please sign up here.

Fics are due Feb 10, and will be posted beginning Feb 15!

These fics do not need to be slash nor do they need to include smut. Our only requirements are the maximum word count (2,500) and that it’s a story based around at least one of OT5.

This is a great way to use your skills and participate in a fest, with less of a time commitment than there would be with larger works. If you can help out, please sign up!

Check-Ins

Hi, everyone! 

Don’t forget, there is a mandatory check-in by December 1, which is THIS Friday. You’re more than welcome to let us know how you’re doing before then, but you must let us know by Friday how your fic is coming along. We don’t need an actual draft of it, just an update of your progress. 

As a reminder, your fic should be at least 4,000 words and should be beta’ed. You can check the list of Betas and Britpickers if you’re still searching for one.

Sorry to bother you Steph, but I was wondering if you had any fic Brit-picking resources? I'm trying to phrase a revelation hitting a character hard, but I'm afraid "smacked him upside the head with the force of a pickup truck" is showing my Southern-Hick-American influences too much ahaha |D

Hey Nonny!

I actually do not, but would love to know who are, since I do plan on EVENTUALLY finishing my fanfic and will need a Brit-picker myself. Can anyone help us out?

BETA/BRITPICKER LIST

Those marked with * prefer contact by email, so please contact the mod directly for the email address. The list will be updated if anyone else signs up here.

BETA

@thinkingforhours

I am a native english speaker with experience in freelance editing. I have participated as a beta in several fests. Triggers: EDs 

@insideasinkingboat *

I don’t dabble in A/B/O. I’ve never really been interested in age gap stories either but a good plot would probably set my mind at ease. I’m not sure if there’s a specific pairing for this contest but I prefer only to work with Larry fic if possible. Plot would change my mind with that stipulation too. I love editing down to the finest details, so please feel free to ask me for help with plot development or anything of the sort.

@hihelloemma*

I have experience helping beta a few fics in the past. In general with editing, I am a creative writing student with experience in creating a collaborative sense to editing that involves helping an author with what they desire rather than me telling them what is wrong. I am able to help bounce ideas, edit at any point in the story, or simply look for grammar mistakes. I am not willing to edit underage/HS. I generally prefer to help edit/read ages 20 and above. I am a fan of all ships or none at all. 

BETA/BRITPICKER

@ohharold

Hi guys! I’m British born and bred and have family from all around Britain so am quite good at britpicking for specific parts of the uk too. I like to class myself as a season beta now. I’ve done a few fics for others both long and short. I’m happy to be a cheerleader for you too as well as helping out with story ideas because I write too and I know how it can be! Good luck everyone x
