Prompt claims post 2010

Sign-ups are now CLOSED

You may now claim a prompt for LGBT Fest. Please read the instructions below! Some things have changed since last year!

To claim a prompt, comment here using the template below (copy and paste it directly into your comment):

Prompt:
First choice of posting date:
Second choice of posting date:
Third choice of posting date:

ETA: From now until all posting dates fill up, you may now claim two prompts if you want. If you've already made one claim and want to return to claim a second prompt, that's fine. Please use the following template for second prompts:

Second prompt:
First choice of posting date:
Second choice of posting date:
Third choice of posting date:

Because of the number of people interested in participating this year, right now we are only allowing one prompt claim per person. If we have open slots toward the end of sign-ups, we'll allow people to claim second prompts at that time. We'll also be opening up the prompts for use as inspiration without claiming after the end of the fest, so if you want to get started on a second story to post after the fest is over, feel free!

Each prompt may be claimed twice, but we strongly encourage you to choose a prompt that's not yet claimed. Please check visible comments as well as the prompt list to make sure a prompt has not already been claimed twice.

When you claim each prompt, list your top three choices of posting dates from May 1 to June 15. At this time, we are letting 15 people sign up for each date. Please check visible comments as well as the calendar to make sure a date is not already full.

FAQ

How do I find out my assigned posting date?

Please check the calendar for your assigned posting date. We'll contact you if none of the dates you requested are available (or if the prompt you requested isn't available).

Why can't I see some of the comments to this post?

Your comment will be screened as soon as your claims are added to the claims list and calendar, to make it easier to see claims we haven't yet had a chance to add.

What happens if you run out of posting dates?

We'll add more posting slots if we need to, to make sure that everyone who signs up by April 1 gets a posting date. However, if you wait until April 1 to sign up, your choices of dates may be very limited.

I submitted prompts that aren't on the list!

We're sorry! Your prompts may have been incorrectly formatted or missing information, or maybe we just made a mistake. In either case, we aren't adding additional prompts at this point.

My fandom is listed under multiple names!

We're sorry! We tried to consolidate prompts for fandoms submitted under multiple names, but we may have missed some. We can't fix it at this point, so do check under variants of your fandom's name to make sure you're not missing another set of prompts.

How long do stories need to be?

The minimum length for stories is 1000 words. There's no maximum length, as long as you post the complete story on your assigned posting day.
