INFO FOR ARTISTS
________________________________________
What types of fanart are allowed?"
For the primary piece (ie, the one that will be used for claiming), pretty much any medium is fine as long as the artwork can be used to inspire a McShep story. If you're planning to do something really unorthodox, please check with the mods before you get started on your artwork.
Additional artwork can be any medium.
The artwork submitted must be new, or at least it cannot have been posted on the internet before.
How many pieces can I submit?
You can make as many pieces of fanart as you like, but all of the pieces should be able to work together as one story.
How big does the artwork have to be?
For drawings and manips, the canvas size should be a minimum of 500x500px. Vids should be at least one minute long. Finished pieces will be sent as an attachment to romancingmcshep@gmail.com

INFO FOR AUTHORS
________________________________________
Do I need a DW account?
Yes. To view the Art Post for claiming a DW account is necessary. The post will be filtered so that only the writers that have signed up can see it.
What are the requirements for fics?
The fic must be a minimum of 3000 words long, and it should be inspired by the artwork that you've claimed.
The fic must follow the Romancing McShep credo. This is all about celebrating John and Rodney's romance and giving them their happy ending.

ART CLAIMS:
Art will go up for claiming on Dec 1st
Dec 1st I'll make an ART POST revealing all the submitted pieces of artwork which will then be available for claiming.
All artwork can have more than one writer claim. In fact, we hope they will.
POSTING
________________________________________
In honor of Valentine's Day, posting claim dates will run from Feb 14th – Feb 28th.
Within the posting dates, authors and artists can post their stories and artwork anywhere they want, and then post master links here at the community. This means that you can post your art/stories on just your LJ, just your DW, your website, the AO3, tumblr, deviantART -- anywhere is fine as long as it can be viewed publicly..
There should be one post on the community for each art/story pair.
When it gets closer to the posting time, a "Posting Date" claim post will go up. Authors and artists should decide beforehand which days they can/would like to post if they want their submissions to go up together.

More FAQs
________________________________________
Do I need a DW?
No. But it's helpful to have one.
Are crossovers allowed?
Crossovers are allowed but the main pairing must be John Sheppard/Rodney McKay
Can the art/fic be part of an existing series?
Yes, as long as it can stand alone and be understood without seeing/reading the other parts. Bear in mind, stories must have a happy ending for our boys.
Will check-ins be required?
Yes. There will be both reminders and check-ins in case any artist/author thinks they will not be able to complete their art/story in time.
We want every piece of art to have a story, so we need time for pinch hitters to be found and given ample time to complete their work. (Don't worry, we aren't going to require a draft or outline just honesty.)
Do I need a beta?
Betas for stories are strongly encouraged.
