Cap/Iron Man 2013 Gift Exchange (Sign Ups Now CLOSED)
OKAY! We're late this year. Sorry. That's how she fell out. We're now an exciting New Years' Exchange, posting in January.
Sign-ups for our fic and art exchange are open! Please read the whole post before signing up. We try to make this as user-friendly as possible, so everyone gets prompts they can write. Please let us know if you have any problems at all, so we can try and fix them.
What's the Schedule?
7 November: Sign ups open
21 November: Sign ups close
24 November: Assignments go out
29 December: Assignments due
1 January: Posting Begins
A week after posting ends: Reveals
What's Allowed?
You can ask for anything pertaining to Steve and/or Tony as the main characters. It's the same as comm rules, gen, het or slash is great, so long as the focus is on them, and not on other pairings, characters or relationships. Threesomes/moresomes including Steve/Tony, or other pairings in the background are fine. Content must comply with our anti-oppression policy and all other comm rules.
What universes can I ask for?
We're going on the assumption that most people are familiar with 616 or MCU (Avengers movie verse), but all universes are encouraged or allowed. To make matching easier, we ask that you not ask for more than one prompt in any of the small universes. For example, you could ask for "616, 616, 616" or "MCU, MCU, MA" or "Zombies, 1602, House of M-verse." Please do not ask for "Ults, Ults, Ults," or "MA, MA, Iron Man: Armored Adventures."
How many prompts should I submit?
You'll list four prompts. Three of those will be given to your gifter. The fourth will go on a prompt list posted to the community, so people who want to take part but can't commit to an exchange, or participants who've finished their gift and want to do more, can pick one from the list. If you complete a gift from the community prompt list, just email as per the submission guidelines and I'll post it as I do the exchange ones.
Please make sure at least two of your prompts have the option to stay non-explicit, as some authors/artists have trouble drawing/writing explicit sex.
What do you expect me to make?
We accept fic and hand-or-computer drawn art, but not mixes, icons, vids or minips.
Fic must be 1000 words long, or longer, and must be beta read. If you don't have a beta reader for this fandom, try the comm beta list. If you can't find anyone there, e-mail the mod account, and I'll try help you out.
Art must be medium sized, and, not to put too fine a point on it, should not look like a cell-phone picture of something done on school note paper in ten minutes between classes.
Both artists and authors, please remember that your gifter is probably working really hard on a gift for you, and it's only fair to give your own recipient your best effort.
I can do that! How do I sign up?
Email your details in more-or-less the format below the cut to cap.ironman.fic.exchange@googlemail.com. You will get a receipt once you have signed up; if you don't receive a receipt within a day or two, PM this LJ account or comment here. Depending on number of signups, and how late they come in, you'll receive your assignments a day or two after the deadline.
What's the header format?
Up to you, but it should look something like this:
Artists can include a thumbnail as their summary.
Okay, now I'm done, how do I submit?
First, double check: is your fic beta read, have you included a header? Is your HTML in place? (If you need help with HTML, you can email for assistance.) The mod should be able to just c/p and post.
Second, e-mail to cap.ironman.fic.exchange@googlemail.com.
Accepted fic formats: .doc, .odt, or .txt
Accepted art formats: whatever floats your boat, my friend. Hosting is on me. Just send me your picture, thumbnail and header.
Then what happens?
Posting format will depend on the number of entries, but the plan is to post them a couple a day to the comm over the month of January. The mod will post them to the comm, and email the author/artist to let them know their work is up. Initially, work will be posted anon, with a creator reveal a week after the end of the posting period. We ask that you keep your work secret, and not post it elsewhere before the reveal.
What happens if I can finish?
We want this to be a fun, low-pressure experience for all participants. If you can't complete your assignment, please don't worry. We understand that especially around the holiday season, life happens. Let us know - an email saying "I'm sorry, but I have to drop out," and we can arrange a pinch hit. If we don't hear from you at all by the deadline, we'll assume you've dropped out, and arrange a pinch-hit. There's no penalty for dropping out.
What's the sign up format?
Okay, example sign-up!
