Community Profile

Some Background:
In 2003 shirasade couldn't help herself when she noticed that none of the SeSa challenges around were for Lord of the Rings fanfiction. And we're talking the fictional stuff here, with Elves, Men, and (of course) Hobbits -- even Dwarves and Wizards, if you're so inclined. :)
In 2006, caras_galadhon, empyreus and kimberleigh_ came to shirasade's aid and have been sharing the heavy lifting in various combinations ever since. In 2015, the challenge moved to AO3, but maintains a presence on LJ where it began.


This community is an announcement community only - no stories will be posted here, only mod posts. We will be posting links to the signups, deadline reminders as we get closer to That Date, plus a masterlist after the reveal.


The Rules:

1. Your story (or fanart) is due December 20th and will go online December 28th -- please post it to the community (and nowhere else, until January 1st) and we will make it public on the 28th.

2. Naturally, it'd be better if you didn't talk too much about your fic/art beforehand in places where your recipient could see it. Also, as a matter of fairness, please make your story more than 500 words (1000 is better). For fanart we'd expect you to spend at least a couple of hours on your work.

3. Please only sign up if you plan on actually fulfilling your end of the bargain. If you're going to be late or cannot complete your assignment, please let us know so we can discuss alternate arrangements. In addition, there will be a pool of emergency replacement writers/artists, so that everyone who signs up gets their gift.

4. Signing up: Please check the comm for the sign-up post with the link to the AO3 signup form. You can be as specific in your likes and dislikes as you want, or leave everything up to the writer.

5. When you're done, please upload your story to the collection on AO3. Use warnings as needed and remember to check your tags. :) (If you have problems when trying to post, or if you're unsure about tags, please feel free to reach out to the mods.) All gifts will go online on December 28th.

It's not possible that everyone gets to write their OTP, but we'll do our best to make sure you don't have to write something that squicks you, so be sure to let us know your preferences.

Have fun -- and spread the word!
