Summer of Evil - Questions and answers post

First of all many thanks to kat_lair for creating the banner above, and for also letting me steal the Q&A from over at lewis_challenge


Q: What type of fanworks do you accept?
A: All kinds, so fiction, art, graphics, videos, music mixes, cosplay, interpretative dance... If it's evil!Sam related and you can create it, then go for it.


Q: Do I need to choose only one format of creative outlet?
A: Of course not. Mix-and-match is absolutely fine.


Q: What genres do you accept?
A: This challenge is open to all combinations of sexual/romantic entanglements (I would say pairings, but secretly I'm hoping someone will write a threesome) as well as gen.


Q: Will there be minimum limits to the contributions?
A: Yes, but I aim to keep those quite low level so as to encourage participation. Signing up would mean that you agree to produce at least on of the following:-

Longer fics - 1,000 words
Ficlets - 2 ficlets (ficlet = anything between 100 and 999 words)
Drabble series - 3 drabbles (i.e. 3 x 100 words)
Icon set - 6 icons
Larger graphics (headers, banners, wallpapesr) - 1 graphic
Fanmix - 10 songs
Videos - 1 minute


Q: How about maximum limits?
A: No. Go crazy folks.


Q: Okay, so what are the time limits?
A: This is the timetable:-

Prompts, initial round for the challenge: 22nd May - 5 June 2011
Sign-Ups: 12th June - 26th June
Posting Starts: 1st September 2011
Posting Ends - when we've ran out of things to post.


Q: Will there be prompts?
A: Yes - there will be an initial round of prompts for the main challenge posted later today.


Q: But I don't want to use other people's prompts because I have my own awesome idea. Will you make me pick something?
A: No I won't. Prompts are there to inspire, not to limit your creativity.


Q: Can I use this challenge to finish wips?
A: Absolutely you can.

You definitely don't have to have submitted a prompt to be eligible to claim one. And yay on being inspired by one. There are some really good ones.

Prompts can be claimed by more than one person. It'll be interesting to see how different people interpret them :D

Just to clarify: I don't have to limit myself to just creating the one fan-work, even if both of those were of the same medium? ...because I had a prompt in mind when I saw this, but when I was prowling through the prompts submitted I found one I'm intrigued by.

You can absolutely create as many fan-works as you like. The more the merrier *g*

Is a cover necessary for my fanmix? Because honestly at this point I'm thinking it's not getting one out of my Photoshop. :/

Nope a cover isn't necessary. In my eyes the fanmix is always the important thing, the cover just an added extra *g*
