Rules for Writers:
Note that stories don't *have* to be Christmas stories. Unless the request you get states it specifically, of course. It would be fun if stories had a Holiday theme, but I'm not going to limit anyone's inspiration by requiring them to be centered around Christmas. Carol adds: If you have a holiday preference/non-preference either in the fic written for you or in what you'll write, please include it in your form 1. Sign ups end December 3th (that's a full week from now).
2. In order to sign up, email your completed form (located just a little further below) to carolmfolc@gmail.com with the subject "ficathon."
3. Assignments will be given out no later than Dec. 6.
4. Stories should be at least 750 words in length.
5. You can start posting your stories as soon as you're ready. You can post them yourself, just make sure posts are labeled "ficathon" so we can identify them - also don't forget to mention who the story is for, when you post it. *g*
[Carol adds: include requests too 
. And if you don't want to post it yourself for some reason - yeah, don't know who might need someone else to post it for them 
/waves to Jessi/ - let me know.]6. All stories should be posted before January 10th.
7. If your story is delayed - or if you find you won't be able to finish - you must let me know as soon as possible so we can find a pinch hitter.
8. If possible, have your story beta-read. These stories are meant as Christmas presents - the contents should be as appealing as the wrapping, I think. *g*
9. No character-bashing is allowed. Neither will deathfics. And we'll not be doing nfic either, because it would be really lame for someone to not be able to read the story written for them because they don't have access to that side of the boards...
