crossbigbangRough drafts are due June 3rd! (If you are in need of an extension please PM me or leave a comment to this post). Here are the instructions on how to turn in your roug hdraft.
As long as it's the 3rd somewhere your draft will be accepted, so please don't worry about timezones. If you think you'll get it in a day or two late send us an email letting us know to expect your fic.
Ideally your rough draft needs to be more than 15,000 words and completed, however since these are rough drafts at least turn in 10,000 words with more than 80% of the fic done. I've accepted less in the past rounds and will only do so again if the author is ABSOLUTELY sure they will finish the story and they can given the artist enough to work with.
Please follow the instructions below when turning in your rough draft.

Rough Draft – Title – Crossover - LJ Username
Body:
PLEASE KEEP THE CODING IN YOUR EMAIL!, we copy and paste this part into the claims and its really a pain to have to redo all the coding. The only things that will be taken out is the LJ username, percent complete, and current word count.
Pay special attention to the summary because that is what artists will be using to claim a story so make sure to spell-check it and be aware of the length (a sentence or two won't be enough for an artist to make a claim but claims are first come first served and an artist might overlook a huge block of text)
Then add your fic as an attachment, we would prefer it if you had it as an .doc but we can take .docx and .rtf
Any questions about submitting your rough draft comment with them to this post and we will help you all we can.
