Update

[animadri.livejournal.com]

Wheeee! Posting begins tomorrow, so let me go over a few things with you guys.

• Fic: If your story is over 100 words and/or contains sensitive or explicit material, squick or character death, it must be behind cut tags
  Art: Use your discretion.
  

• Please use the following template when posting:
  
  Posting Template:
  
  [Subject Line]: fandom (pairing)
  [Body --]
  Title:
  Author/Artist:
  Rating:
  Warnings:
  Word count: (optional for authors)
  Summary: (if applicable)
  A/N: (if applicable)

• Tagging - Stories will be sorted by fandom and pairing, date, and author/artist. (ex. april 6, ranalore, yami no matsuei: tatsumi/hisoka) I'm working on adding all fandom/pairings and participants, but feel free to add your own if what you need is not available by your posting date.

• Recipients (of the fic/artwork posted) will be revealed at the end of each day via sk_updates. Recipients: Feel free to leave feedback anonymously if you want to keep them wondering until the update or have mercy and reveal yourself under your LJ name. *G*
  

• Post your contribution to the community, not just a link to your LJ. This is so that if you should for some reason decide to delete your LJ, we still have the post.

Questions? Concerns?

Question:
for art, since most image hosting web sites have rating restrictions policies, are we allowed to simply post a link to a gallery? (Like y!gallery or anyplace that will host the materials)

On another hand: WAAAH, TOMORROW!

[animadri.livejournal.com]

Hmm I'd like to have the actual pieces posted to the community. I'm tempted to just purchase some space so that we can make it happen. Any suggestions?

[laylah.livejournal.com]

*checks account features*

...It looks like plus accounts get 1GB of image-storage space, so you could create a dummy account for photo hosting, for people who have free accounts to upload stuff there.

I agree on keeping things actually available here -- y!gallery's policies would mean that an image too racy for photobucket ought to be subject to at least one filter on y, and filtered content can only be viewed by people who have accounts.

[yue_ix]

*coughs* So. My drawing is due in a few minutes. Have you found/heard of anyplace, or do I get around and ask cool people to host it temporarily? ^^;

[animadri.livejournal.com]

OMG I'm so sorry, sweetie. I got caught up with RL stuff and forgot to make the dummy acct. I'm on it right now. Post anytime today and it will be fine. I'll be back with the info.

[sk-art.livejournal.com]

Done. You can send it to me through email at animadri@livejournal.com and I'll post it for you from this acct. Sound good? Sorry that it took me so long to get back to you.

[yue_ix]

No problem; sounds great! I'm the one who should have thought of a way to host the pictures beforehand, sorry v__v;
The email was sent this morning. Thank you very much. ♥

[wedjateye.livejournal.com]

I'm in Aus so there is a fairly big time difference between here and the USA/UK (we're ahead) - are we posting to a particular time zone's dates? Or can I post once my time zone has reached the relevant date?

[animadri.livejournal.com]

Your time zone is fine. *G*

[regicidaldwarf.livejournal.com]

Question:
I posted for claims with this journal - my "Blah blah look I talk at you" journal - but then I also have a different journal used for writing purposes. (Yes, that could've been thought out better.) Anyway, should I post them in the writing journal and give a link in the comm with this one, or post them with this journal in the comm and cross post them to my writing journal?

[animadri.livejournal.com]

Please post them with either journal to this community. For archiving purposes I'd like to have all members post their works here. You can cross-post anywhere you'd like.

[0x.livejournal.com]

Are the fics supposed to be posted in order, like the bleach one that is up now is #1 and it's posted first, so what I'm asking is do I have to wait for the 8 other fics to go up before I post mine, #9?

[animadri.livejournal.com]

No, not really. All I care about is that they are posted on their assigned day.

[allira-dream.livejournal.com]

Question! Is it okay to also post the fics in journals/communities, or should we wait until the month is over?

[animadri.livejournal.com]

I'd like to keep everything here until the end. You can, however, post links to anywhere else you'd like.

[laylah.livejournal.com]

Question - if one has a prompt that only specifies one character, but one has written a pairing (e.g. my prompt for tomorrow, "Larxene, enemies working together..."), how should that be tagged? With just the named character, or with the pairing I wound up writing?

[animadri.livejournal.com]

Character and pairing works, right?

[laylah.livejournal.com]

okay -- so I'll have two content tags, then, one that's just "kingdom hearts com: larxene" and another that's "kingdom hearts com: larxene/xxxx"?

[animadri.livejournal.com]

Yep. What's the pairing? I'll go ahead and add it for you since I'm working on tags now. I'm up to April 12th. Go me!

[animadri.livejournal.com]

I'll screen your reply so that it's a surprise to the recipient.

[animadri.livejournal.com]

Er, should it be kingdom hearts com: larxene instead of kingdom hearts ii: larxene?

[laylah.livejournal.com]

Yes. Larxene is one of several Organization members (along with Lexaeus, Vexen, Zexion, and Marluxia) who only show up in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, not Kingdom Hearts II. (Axel shows up in both.)

[animadri.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much. I'm tagging based on the prompts submitted so I'm not exactly sure with some of them since I'm not familiar with all of the fandoms.

[marmaladecat]

I'm putting this here because I figure you have email alerts enabled on comments. :)

I'm really sorry, I'm trying to tag my entries as I post them, but it's not letting me do it. It's either that I'm only able to use ones that are already in use, like my name and the date, or that it doesn't like the ":" or the "/" in the new character/fandom based ones I try to make.

I notice it did it to me yesterday and the fandom tag appeared later. Not sure if that was you (if so, thank you!) or if it just took a while to show up...

Either way...please could you tag my entries for fandom as I fail...thank you! :)

[kira-k.livejournal.com]

Question. I wrote two fics for the same prompt. Can I post both of them or can I leave a link for the other in an A/N? (There isn't a second fic claim on the prompt.)

[animadri.livejournal.com]

That's fine. Have at it!

[kira-k.livejournal.com]

I posted, but I can't add the fandom, nor my user name to the tag list.

[wedjateye.livejournal.com]

I just posted but couldn't add my name as a tag despite trying several times. I thought I could add it just by typing it into the tag box like I do on my own LJ, but perhaps I'm clueless.

[fuzipenguin.livejournal.com]

I also couldn't add my user name as a tag when I posted.

[ponderosa121.livejournal.com]

ohhh, question. I just got back from lack of internets, so i also have my fic to post for the 12th, should i just go ahead and post it? or wait until month's end.

[animadri.livejournal.com]

No worries. You can go ahead and post now. Thanks!

[giving-ground.livejournal.com]

I... just had a moment of terrible realisation. Been busy flailing over the one prompt and forgotten I had a second to write too.

Urk.

I'll do what I can but it may be late. (It's due tomorrow and I'm in lab today. Argh, research.)

[kalloway]

Just a quick warning that my post may be a couple hours late as I've lost the entire to morning to a shirt-full of baby rabbits. You can only imagine the unique posture I've adopted for typing...

[childofatlantis.livejournal.com]

My tags aren't showing up at all. :(

[galerian-ash.livejournal.com]

Sorry to bug, but I can't get my tags to show up either >_<

I can add tags that already exist, but can't write in any new ones (so I can't tag the entry with the pairing and my username).

[syvia.livejournal.com]

Question! I'm late to the party XD but I have a few fics laying around that fit some of the prompts. May I post a fic even though it's a little late to let everyone know I wrote/planned to write something for the prompt?

[animadri.livejournal.com]

Are they stories that were written for this challenge?

[syvia.livejournal.com]

(Sorry for the belated reply!)

Alas, no. They were stories that fit a few of the prompts, but were written for other people.

(No worries if the answer is no. I'll just look forward to contributing in May/June.)

[icor.livejournal.com]

I found a prompt for the 25th (Final Fantasy XII, Gabranth/Drace: UST - "Swordplay") but didn't think I'd be able to write it on time, so didn't bother claiming. However, I have written it, but stupidly didn't check to see if it was claimed already - and it has two claims for fic.

I was just wondering if there's any chance at all I can post it.

[animadri.livejournal.com]

Sure there is. I'll make an exception in this case since it's already written. *G*

[icor.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much, I really appreciate it. :3

[whitereflection.livejournal.com]

Hallo, sorry to bother, but I just have a question. What's your policy on posting our fic to other communities once it's been posted here? I noticed on the previous spring round you asked people to wait until end of month--is that still the case? (I did already post links pointing to my springkink submission in my personal journal, hope that was okay, looked like others have been doing that.)

Anyway, just curious. Would like to post mine (or at least post links to where my fic is here) at khyaoi as well. Thanks!
