Team Shuffle Period

[centrumlumina]

Signups are now officially over!

If you have not signed up to the competition at this point, it is now too late to do so. You will still be able to view competition works, but you will not be able to vote or produce works of your own.

If you have signed up, we recommend you check the team roster now for your current team allocation and its status.

If your team is full or confirmed, then you should ensure you have joined the team comm when the link appears. If no team leader has yet been appointed, candidates will be contacted shortly. Team leaders should contact us with their team comm names as soon as possible.

Please be aware that this period is the last one in which you can transfer teams and retain the points you have earned thus far in the bonus rounds. Members of full or confirmed teams are welcome to transfer as outlined below, but should remember that if their original team drops below three members it will lose its confirmed status.

If your team is still unconfirmed, then you have until midday GMT, Wednesday November 21 to find a place on a confirmed team. There are three ways to do this:

1. Convincing other participants to transfer to your current team to reach at least three members.
2. Transferring to another existing team which has at least two other members.
3. Forming a new team and convincing at least two other participants to transfer to it.

This post is provided as a forum for arranging transfers.

Please remember while arranging transfers that Team Monster of the Week is never full; if it reaches five members it will expand into two teams. You may also choose to transfer to Team Chuck, or drop out of the competition entirely.

If you wish to transfer team, please alert the mods via a comment on this post headed TEAM TRANSFER, or an email to srs2012mods@gmail.com with TEAM TRANSFER in the subject line. If contacting us via email, please remember to include your Dreamwidth username.

You should also contact us with your preference of team in case the deadline passes and your team is unconfirmed: Team MotW, Team Chuck or non-competitor. Signup preferences will no longer be taken into account in the team assignment process. Anyone who does not alert us to their transfer or alternate preference by the deadline will be automatically transferred to Team Chuck.

Edit: The Team Shuffle period is now over.

Bonus Round 1

[centrumlumina]

You better promise me I’ll be back in time...

Welcome to our official bonus round one. Bonus Round 0 is now officially closed! Don’t worry, though – BR0.5 is open for one more week alongside this round. This time, the theme is historical settings.

If you have an idea for something you’d like to see, please leave a time period, the characters involved and any other details as a PROMPT below. Then read through everyone else’s prompts, and leave a FILL for any which catch your eye. Fills can be in any media, and they need not be long, but please put a little effort in – if anyone starts spamming this post for points, we’ll be able to tell.

You should place PROMPT/FILL, your current team affiliation and a brief summary in the comment title. NSFW prompts and fills should mention this in the summary or at the top of the post.

You will be awarded five points per prompt for the first five prompts you leave. The first three fills posted for each prompt will receive 15 points, the next three 10 points, and the next three 5 points. Prompts with ten or more fills will no longer receive fill points.

You can post prompts or fills for any ship this round, including gen/platonic ones (which should be indicated with an & as above). However, you may not fill your own prompt. We also encourage people not to fill prompts from their teammates, although the points will not be deducted if you do.

Bonus round fills can include links provided they are publicly viewable. Works can also be cross-posted to other websites, as there is no anonymity requirement in bonus rounds. However, works posted directly to comments will be limited to 16,000 characters by the Dreamwidth comment limit. Longer works should therefore be divided between multiple comments.

Remember, Team Chuck can participate in bonus rounds, and if you change teams, points earned will transfer with you until the end of the team shuffle period.

Edit: This round is now closed. You may still leave fills if you wish to, but no further points will be awarded.
