Here we go! This is the master list of all participants & their assigned photo. As with previous years, each assignment is a link to a photo (mostly on Flickr). Please be sure to refresh your knowledge of the challenge guidelines below, as well.
ETA: Flickr appears to be giving some people trouble when it comes to viewing their images without signing in to Yahoo? This is SO IRRITATING, and I apologize if that's happening to you. Based on
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
evil_little_dog's experience, if you right-click & copy the link, then open it in a new tab, that might get around the issue?
If you signed up and your name isn't here, or if the photo you were assigned has been removed, please let me know ASAP and I'll fix it.
( Assignments! )
Additional Resources:For those of you who are new, or who've perhaps struggled with this challenge in the past (or people who just really like her), my friend and 13-time participant
celli as composed a helpful post on how one can approach this challenge, including examples! Read it here
Celli’s Completely Unofficial but Highly Encouraged (and Slightly Blackmailed) Guide to Not Making Yourself Nuts Doing picfor1000I have also created
a brainstorming post or this year's challenge. Folks who are feeling blocked/uninspired by their image can ask for help from their fellow participants there. Feel free to jump in and help each other out; it might even help to get your own creative juices flowing!
General Guidelines
- As always, all stories must b exactly 1000 words, no more, no less1. Any fandom, pairing, rating or genre is welcome, including crossover, RPF or original fiction.
- The photos are intended to serve as inspiration; the subject of your photo can appear in your story, as part of the title, or simply act as a starting point -- in other words photos need not be a literal part of the story! Feel free to gain inspiration from the title on the Flickr page, as well, or disregard it, as you choose. In short, just be creative and have fun! Again check out this post celli, or visit the brainstorming post f you need help.
- If the muse strikes, you may write more than one story based on your photograph, but each must be a completely separate story of 1000 words. Your entry/entries can be part of series only if each story can stand on its own.
- All stories should be completed no later than February 28, 2015. Participants may post their stories any time before that, in whatever forum they wish, but must at least post a link here in the community.
Community Guidelines
- This is an open community, and all participants in the challenge should join it. Participants are expected to either post their entire story here (behind a cut-tag, obvs), or post a link to the story here if it's posted elsewhere.
- Please use the following header format when posting:
Title:
Author:
Fandom:
Spoilers: (if any)
You may also include pairings, ratings, disclaimers, author's notes, etc., if you want, but those are not required.
- If you include the picture with your story, it must be behind an lj-cut. Also, please take note any copyright restrictions for your assigned image before using or posting elsewhere, and give credit where it's due2.
- Participants should tag their posts with both "challenge 13" and the appropriate fandom tag. If the fandom does not exist, I'll follow along behind and create the later; just include what you can!
If you have any further questions or issues with your image, please leave a comment on this post!
Good luck everyone, and thanks for playing!1. We operate mostly on the honor system here, so you may use whatever method you like to count your words. As long as that method says you're at 1000 words exactly, you may consider yourself a #winner. (Disclaimer: winners do not receive a prize of any sort, beyond, you know... personal pride or whatever. I'm not super familiar with the concept.)
2. Management is not responsible if the picture's owner comes at you, is what I'm saying. Follow rules and be polite, y'all. ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png){kind=small}
