What are writer requirements? Writers are expected to provide a minimum of 2000 words a piece. This means if paired with another writer, this is a 4000 word minimum project. The story must be completed, we will not accept incomplete works or anything below the required word count.
What are artist requirements? Artists are expected to contribute a minimum of one piece of finished artwork for the event. If you are paired with another artist, you can each do a completed piece, or work on one together (i.e. someone does lineart, the other does coloring, etc)
What is a pinch hitter? A pinch hitter is someone who fills in for another in case of drop out. Pinch hitters are required to fill out the form just as everyone else, as well as adhere to the schedule. (Last minute pinch hits may not be held to the requirements, it will be case by case.) How do I sign up? Once sign-ups are live, you’ll sign up via the formWe ask that you be as thorough as possible in your answers to this sign up form, as this will determine how we pair you off with someone else. This will cover a variety of factors that can make or break a pairing - from preferred contact method to the characters you want to write for. ⚠️ This is also where you will list your WANTS and DO NOT WANTS, please don’t wait until we’ve partnered you with someone to give them an onslaught of things you aren’t comfortable with. We are not sharing the responses with anyone outside of you and your partner. The more information you can give us the better.
How do the collaborations work?After sign ups are closed, the moderators will go through the responses/answers provided and work on pairing people up into groups of two.At the first check in, the mods will make sure the collaboration is working. In contrary case, we will sort out another solution.
Can I be in more than one collaboration? Short answer: No. You are with your (1) partner for the duration of the event, but can submit more than one project if you wish to. Exception: If you signed up as a pinch hitter and we need you to fill in for someone else, then yes.
Can I use AI to help me create something? ABSOLUTELY NOT. This event will not allow ANY sort of generative AI influence, whether it’s art, writing, you name it. If AI is used, and we are made aware of it, your work will be removed from the collection.
There is a discord server?
After we work through the signups and sort out the teams, we will make a discord server!
If you have any questions, don't be shy to ask them here!
Partners have been assigned!
