Bonus Round 4

[centrumlumina]

You make me tongue tied...

Bonus Round 4 is here! This time, the theme is speechless. Entries should not include any words spoken aloud by the characters.

If you have an idea for something you’d like to see, please leave a setting, 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 team name 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. Please note that NSFW includes any level of sexual content.

You will be awarded five points per prompt for the first two 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. Please note that only two prompts will receive points this round, although you can leave more if you wish to.

This round is now closed.

Main Round Two Comm

[centrumlumina]

The MR2 comm has been created and all team leaders should have received a membership invitation. As with MR1, any team leaders who may be absent or otherwise wish to appoint a deputy to post in their place this round should contact the mods as soon as possible. Deputies appointed for MR1 will not automatically be reappointed unless the mods are contacted again.

There is also an anonymous AO3 collection for anyone wishing to post MR2 works to the site. This can be found at srs2012_r2.

Posting procedure for this round is the same as that detailed for MR1. However, please be aware that, contrary to our beliefs before last round, the mods cannot edit entries once they have been submitted. We therefore ask that you double check your formatting before posting, or you may be asked to resubmit the entry and risk late posting.

In particular, please ensure:

• Your entry post has a subject in the [MEDIA]: [Title] ([Team]) format, for instance FIC: Woman In White (Team Chuck). Please be aware that your team name is the name of the characters separated by slashes, not the name of the team comm.
• Your entry begins with a summary, word count (where applicable), list of characters, list of pairings and list of tags.
• You have included all of the neccessary Required Tags where they are prompted at the start of the entry.
• The main body of your entry (everything after the tag list) is behind a cut. If for some reason the cut included in the sample formatting does not work, a cut can be added by highlighting the relevant section and using the 'Cut' button on the editor (seventh after the pulldown text size menu) or by going to html view and placing <cut> and </cut> tags around the work.
• Any images containing text - for instance, captions on graphics, speech on cartoons or formatted poetry - must be followed by a transcript so that your word count can be calculated properly. Failure to do this will result in a 25 point penalty.

You should also be aware that there is an issue with the word counter website and Microsoft Word wordcounts which may cause them to differ significantly. This can and will be corrected by the mods. Provided the word count in your editor is below the 4000 word limit, there should not be an issue.
