contributor expectations

Writers
Writers will be creating a story of at least 7,000 words. This can be a multichapter or a one shot, but you should have something ready to be published on the posting date. There is no maximum word count. All works must be new and unpublished. We ask that you refrain from talking about it too much on social media in order to keep it a surprise.



Artists
Artists are required to create at least one full, finished illustration to go along with their writer’s fanfic. There is no maximum requirement for artists. Artwork can be of any medium.


Betas
Betas will be able to either work with specific writers, or be available to any writer who requests assistance. Betas can choose to be assigned to more than one writer, but the Moderators ask that they please plan accordingly—we do not know how much work you can handle as well as you do. Betas will look over content as per the writer’s request. Please do not make changes or criticisms the author hasn’t asked for.


Pinch Hitters
Pinch Hitters will be contacted on a first-come-first-serve basis. Please be aware that should you be contacted, you will have a smaller window of time to complete your piece. If you are contacted and fill in for a writer/artist, you will be held to the same expectations as any other artist or writer, but you will have a one week extension on content check-ins.



If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us via email, CuriousCat, or Tumblr.
