If you're not on the list and unsure as to times, please google 'local time in los angeles' and calculate your timezone difference from LA, as we are using LA time as a base. :o
In previous contests, we have tried to ask that people post their entries directly to the comm. This is so that in the event of someone deleting their journal at a later date, people can still access the copies of the fic later on. This time we will be relaxing this procedure and counting votes both on the comm and on personal journals, for those of you (like me!) who prefer to post your fics to your own journals. However, we must ask that you provide a post to this community, using the following header formats, even if you are planning to link back to your own dreamwidth account for the fic.
If you post your fic to the community you MUST use a cut tag. A step-by-step guide to making cut tags on dreamwidth, with pictures, is available HERE. There is no excuse for not cutting your fanfiction.
If you are on Team Fantasy, please use the following posting format:
Subject line: [Team Fantasy] (prompt title) Fic title
If you are on Team Future, please use the following posting format:
Subject line: [Team Future] (prompt title) Fic title
Some extra reminders:
1) The posting schedule is not final and may be subject to change. In the event of someone dropping out, their theme will be moved to March 20th to allow the pinch-hitter as much time to write as possible. If you are dropping out, email both mikkeneko and myself (mikkeneko at gmail.com and kaltia at gmail.com) asap in order to ensure we can get a pinch-hitter working as fast as possible.
2) Olympics deadlines have been pushed back as a whole before and this MAY happen again if the moderators feel enough people need the extra time.
3) You will not be able to vote for the fics if you are a writer for either team. IF the pinch-hitter's services are not needed, pinch-hitters can vote.
4) Observe the community rules in the profile, as we do expect you to comply with them. Note particularly our policy on threesomes and moresomes. You may write Kurogane/Fai/+ people, but we do expect the fic to focus on the relationship between Kurogane and Fai.
5) - For voters: you may vote anonymously, but unless you include in your comment a link to an identifying blog/ff.net profile/tumblr, your vote will not be counted.
5b) Also for voters: be honest, but don't be cruel.
6) Fics do not have to be AU. Crossovers are allowed, as are canon stories - writers, there are plenty of canon worlds fulfilling the contest criteria - Hanshin, Outo/Edonis, Piffle, Infinity & Acid Tokyo for Team Future, Koryo, Jade, Ceres, Nihon etc for Team Fantasy. If you struggle with world-building, this may be some relief.
7) Support your team-mates. This is not an individual entrant challenge, and winning relies on your whole team, not just you. :)
With all of that out of the way, I am very excited to announce that the Olympics have officially started! Get cracking, authors!

At first I freaked out about the deadline, now I'm super happy because there is this huge book trade fair in Leipzig from March 14th to 17th AND I WILL HAVE NO MORE FIC TO WRITE THEN SO I CAN ENJOY SHITLOADS OF BOOKS AND COSPLAYERS WHILE EVERYONE ELSE PULLS ALL-NIGHTERS OR SO; YESSSS!

YUUIRON! YEEES!
Tbh, I think it's their fault that I struggle sometimes. Because they're a rarepair I write them more often and it's not like I can't write KuroFai but when it comes to Yuui and Syaoron I get easily carried away and I keep on underestimating my own capability of romanticising Syaoron. Because he's fabulous.
You don't have to include it just for me, okay, just write whatever feels best for your fic. <3

After all, Kuro and Syaoron have to go and rescue their significant others...
