round 6 sign-ups [closed] & rules

[mistyzeo.livejournal.com]

come_at_once is a porn fanwork challenge for the Sherlock Holmes multi-verse fandom. The game will be limited to the number of participants that sign up ahead of time, and will run for as many days as there are creators (five sign-ups = five days, twenty sign-ups = twenty days). Each creator has 24 hours to create a fanwork, post and/or link to the comm, and tag the next creator. Then that person has 24 hours, etc.

To sign up for Round 6, please read through the game rules below and leave a comment on this post. That's it! Telling all your friends is also required.

Sign-ups for round 6 are now closed.


The Run-Down
+ A sign-up entry for Round 6 will be posted on Wednesday, January 27th, 2016, (this is that post) whereupon people will be able to comment in order to add their names on the list. Only people who sign up will be eligible to participate, but anyone can sign up!

+ Sign-ups for Round 6 will run until Sunday, January 31st, 2016, or until the sign-ups reach 50 (!) creators, whichever comes first. A list will be compiled of all participants, and at noon GMT on February 1st, the day following the close of sign-ups, the moderator (mistyzeo) will randomly choose one person to begin the round, give them a prompt and 24 hours, and see how they do.

+ When the first creator has completed and posted their fanwork, they pick a new name from the Participant Masterlist to tag with a new prompt! Then that new creator has 24 hours, and so on, until all participants have had a chance to play.

Details
+ There is no minimum or maximum word count requirement. It's up to you! Whatever you can get done in 24 hours is fair game.

+ The 24 hours allotted begins when the tag is posted, not when the participant notices the tag. Because time-zones can be tricky, [tracking the community (CLICK ME)] may be a good idea so that you know exactly when the post went up. You can also follow @Come_At_Once on Twitter for updates. And go ahead and comment on the tag post to let us know you saw it!

+ Because the Sherlock Holmes fandom is a multi-universe experience/extravaganza, all universes and adaptations are welcome. Canon!ACD porn can follow Sherlock porn can follow Elementary porn can follow Ritchie porn, and so on. Robots and mice are also encouraged, and RPF is welcome.

+ Likewise, the author can choose any pairing (or combination of pairings!) they like. The tagger does not choose the pairing/'verse, the author does that.

+ All kinks and scenarios are welcome, but please use appropriate warnings.

+ If you get tagged and cannot complete a fanwork within the 24 hour window, it's okay! Post to the comm with "Pass to [player's username]" as the subject and tag a new participant (either with the prompt you were given or a new one). If a tag is missed entirely, the mod will step in and assign a new tag.

Each time a player passes or is passed on by a moderator, a star will be added to their name on the Participant Masterlist. This is so anyone tagging after this pass can see who has had a chance to play and who has not been tagged yet. Three passes results in a forfeit, and the player will be struck off the list.

+ Once you have finished a fanwork within the 24 hour window, you can either post it directly to come_at_once (under a cut), or to the archive of your choice with a link from the comm. Either way, make sure you make some sort of post to the community with a header that includes title, author, pairing(s), rating, warnings (if necessary), and a short summary of your fanwork. Then, make a new post and tag a new player who has not already been struck off the Participant Masterlist.

Other Questions? Please ask in the comments if your question has not been answered below!

+ How do I know when I've been tagged? Time Zones!
There are several ways to ensure that the posts in the community come to you immediately. One is to track the community using LJ's track feature, which you can set up to email you as soon as a new post is made. Another is to paste the community's URL in your feed reader of choice, and likewise have it email you new posts. Finally, you can always follow @Come_At_Once on Twitter; the Twitter account is set up to crosspost each post made in the community.

+ Is it possible to exclude a date on which I prefer not to/cannot be tagged?
Not this round. If, for example, you know you're going on an extended vacation in the next two months and won't be around a reliable internet connection, please consider skipping this round. If you've just got one day or weekend you won't be free and you happen to be tagged on that day, just pass and the game will come back 'round to you.

+ Where will the prompts come from?
The tagger makes the prompt up. Players are encouraged to keep their prompts short and open to interpretation, so that the next player can use the tag to the best of their ability. Remember: these are broad prompts to start a creator going, not specific requests. Words, phrases, song lyrics, etc, are all welcome.

+ Do I post my fanwork as soon as I'm done with it, or wait till the end of my 24 hours?
Up to you. Whether you are done by hour 3 or 23, post whenever you are ready within your 24 hour window. Feel free to get your fanwork beta'd, or not. It's short notice porn: it's all fine.

+ Is there an Archive of Our Own collection?
There sure is. [You can find it right here.] You are invited to post any fanworks from any rounds in this collection!

+ Can I post a fanwork that contains Sherlock series 4 or special episode spoilers?
Since The Abominable Bride will have been out internationally for a month when the game starts, special warnings are not required for this episode. I don't know where you'd get series 4 spoilers at this point (though they will start filming in April), but I guess warn for those.
