ROUGH DRAFT SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Drafts are due by Sunday, December 8th, 11:59 PM PST, but you may send them in beforehand if you are ready. Here are the guidelines for submitting your fic rough drafts:


  • There is no maximum word count, but your rough draft should be a minimum of 3,000 words.

  • It should also have a beginning, middle and end, and have descriptive paragraphs in place of any missing scenes.

  • Submissions should be sent to spnreversemod@gmail.com with the subject: Fic Draft Submission. Attach the file to the email. Do NOT copy it into the body of the email.

  • You may only submit one attachment. Please combine all chapters into one document.

  • Your rough drafts do not need to be betaed at this time, but all fic should be betaed by your posting date.

  • Fic can be sent in the following formats: TXT, DOC, DOCX, RTF

  • Please make the file name your LJ username. For example, if your username was [livejournal.com profile] spnreversemod you would title your attachment spnreversemod.doc or spnreversemod.rtf. This will allow us to keep things organized and to ensure no duplicate file names.


You must include the following information in the body of your e-mail:
Livejournal Name:
Email:
Prompt Number:
Pairing or Gen:
Main Characters:
Word Count:


Please copy and paste the form into your email to make sure you don't forget anything.

If you have any questions, please comment here, or send an email to spnreversemod@gmail.com.

We're also still looking for pinch-hitters. Pass it on.

Is the posting schedule going to be up before the rough draft submission date? I had expected it even before check-ins, but understand it was postponed. I don't mean to be pushy, but seeing as I'm going to be offline from next week until January 9th, I'd really like to be able to set permanent deadlines for myself and my authors before then. (As far as I know they all have their rought drafts ready to hand in)

If we're submitting more than one draft, should we attach both to the same email or send them separately? Should we add the prompt number to our user name when naming the file?

Will you respond to our emails in order to let us know you have recieved them?

Hi there,
I may have a problem for when I'm ready to submit my fic...I'm writing it in Google Docs because I don't have any type of Word software on my computer. How would I send that to you? I can 'share' the document, but I don't know if the mods have Google Drive.

[identity profile] fiery-fox2.livejournal.com 2013-12-08 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. I will do so :)

[identity profile] linvro21.livejournal.com 2013-12-08 12:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Google-docs also provides the option of emailing the doc as attachment:
File -> Email as attachment
Choose 'Attach as' 'Microsoft Word'

I had the lj handle [livejournal.com profile] subsammy before, but I decided to not use it for posting fics. I want to use this one instead. Is it okay for me post my reversebang fic from here?

[identity profile] fiery-fox2.livejournal.com 2013-12-08 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, thanks for that info! :)

[identity profile] keep-waking-up.livejournal.com 2013-12-08 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Erm, I still haven't recieved a reply email that says you've recieved my draft. Does that mean I need to send the email again?

[identity profile] keep-waking-up.livejournal.com 2013-12-08 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, thank you! I was just getting a wee bit concerned! Thank you so much for your hard work!

i sent my rough draft nearly twelve hours ago. i thought there would be acknowledgement of having received the rough drafts. Maybe i'm mistaken though. Is there a possibility of getting a note that says yea or nay? i have to sleep soon and will not be online again until well into tomorrow. i don't want my artist to be told she needs a pinch hitter because of miscommunication.

Just sent mine. Very rough, but has a beginning, most of a middle and an end!

My paranoia demands that I have an alternate record somewhere of the fact that I just turned in my draft lol

[identity profile] dmitchell1985.livejournal.com 2013-12-09 07:48 am (UTC)(link)
I just sent two emails. I blanked and forgot to add my attachment at the last minute, so I sent the exact same email with the attachment included.

[identity profile] crazyfoolstiney.livejournal.com 2013-12-09 03:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Look what you did!! xD

[identity profile] dmitchell1985.livejournal.com 2013-12-09 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I do what I want is what I did! Or, rather what happens when you try to do stuff in the middle of the night. Lol

[identity profile] brokenhighways.livejournal.com 2013-12-09 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL! Same here. Especially before I convince myself that I imagined sending it in, which is no good for anyone. :P

sent my rough draft in yesterday but I still haven't gotten confirmation it's been received. Let me know if you didn't get it for whatever reasons so I can try and resend it. Thanks so much for all the hard work you put into making this challenge so awesome! :)

[identity profile] jasmineisland.livejournal.com 2013-12-09 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I sent mine yesterday and haven't gotten a confirmation. Should I be worried?

[identity profile] jedisapphire.livejournal.com 2013-12-09 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I sent my draft in on Sunday but I've not had confirmation yet... Should I resend?

Thanks for all the work you put in to make this happen!

[identity profile] brokenhighways.livejournal.com 2013-12-10 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
Awesome! :)

[identity profile] dmitchell1985.livejournal.com 2013-12-10 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
Lol Thanks for understanding. :D

Sorry to be a pestilence - I just wanted to drop a note here because I'm paranoid that my emails might not be getting to you lovely gals.

I received a message this morning saying that my draft hadn't been received. I replied to that message (and had previously sent in my draft) and haven't heard back.

It's of course totally cool if you gals just haven't answered those messages yet, but I wanted to check since it sounds like my earlier email hadn't made it through. Thanks so much!

[identity profile] reapertownusa.livejournal.com 2013-12-14 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay! Thank YOU so very much! Just resent the draft your way.

I may have amnesia due to the holiday's at the moment. But I wanted to confirm I submitted my draft, I am pretty confident I did then again I've been so busy with work and now Christmas it could have slipped my mind. I hope not because the story is complete and I sent the story to my artist already and she has been working busy on art for the story.
