October Prompt-a-thon: How to Play
1. Teams from the September Chocobo Races still apply! You are still signed up if you signed up last month, but as with the last round, you're not obligated to participate.
However, if you're not on a team, you must choose one in order to take part in October's festivities, but don't worry, it's easy! You can sign up at the Choose a Team post, but you do not have to wait to be added to your team roster before prompting or filling. In order for your contributions to count for your team, your sign up comment needs to be dated before any prompts or fills you might make and that's it. You can sign up any time throughout the month up until the 26th. :)
2. Unlike September's round, we will be making all new prompts for people to create from (fic! art! sculptures from wax!) in the comments of this entry. Each prompt that's at least one sentence and descriptive (think scenarios, or see some our DOINK! guidelines on prompts) earns your team one point. You can get up to five points for leaving up to five prompts.
They have to be your words: one word prompts, single phrases/quotes, lyrics, etc. do not count. We encourage descriptive, open prompts that can be filled with fic or art, because you never know who’s going to like your ideas!
If you’d like a starting point for some of your prompts, October’s unofficial theme is Curse or Cure — just like Trick or Treat, but with a little magical twist! Whether it’s playful, sweet, or downright scary, we’d love to see some cursing, curing, and casting in your prompts for October.
3. You cannot fill your own prompts.
4. However, you can fill prompts left by either team. Start your strategic alliances!
5. Every fill for a prompt is worth five points. You may post your fills as replies to the comment with the prompt, or you can post the fills on AO3 (in our Chocobo Down 2011 collection), or both — it’s up to you.
6. Because we assume there will be a lot of prompts, to make it easier for mods to count up points (and for those looking for a specific team/fandom), please do use the subject line when prompting. Here are some examples:
Examples:
All prompt examples adapted from prompts from previous rounds!
7. Please also use the subject line when posting your fills! Leaving the fandom/characters/rating and your team name will help the mods keep track of your points.

We're keeping a master post to cut down on the confusion. You can view complete team rosters here and also sign up if you'd like to participate! All are welcome. :D

ff_press on its hiatus, we currently don’t have a great way to advertise, so... we’d love it if you could help to pass the word along! Feel free to use the following banner:
Ready, Set, Prompt!
Let the October Chocobo Races begin!
EDIT -- Please remember to also check the Livejournal mirror post! You may find other prompts there, and prompts and fills in either place will count for points!

Subject: FFX-2/FFXII / Yuna, Rikku, Paine, Penelo / team cactuar!
Comment body: The Gullwings come to Ivalice and convince Penelo to join them. Hijinks ensue.
Subject: FFVII / Hojo, Reeve / team tonberry
Comment body: Hojo and Reeve get into a territorial spat at Shin-Ra HQ.
All prompt examples adapted from prompts from previous rounds!
