• Any work that fits the theme of Mixing Up The Media will receive 10 points. Because various forms of various media have various 'standards', there will be no strict quality standards this month. We just ask that you make your work equivalent to ~500 words of fanfic -- whatever you consider that benchmark to be.
• Any work that doesn't fit the November theme, but is submitted in November, will still receive 5 points.

• October's Gen and Friend Prompt Post

• Please include the prompt you are filling somewhere when you post your work!
• Since the mods can't guarantee we have the time to look at every work ourselves, please make sure you label your work appropriately, so that we know who gets bonus points and who doesn't!
• For this month, please make sure you use labels and tags to identify your work as a non-traditional media or a non-traditional format (ie, tagging as "Epistolary" on AO3). This will help us tally points faster!

• Please put the canon and character(s) in the subject of the comment. FFVI: Edgar & Sabin, or FFVII (OGC): Cid, or FFVIII: Rinoa and Quistis are examples.


• Leave the details of your prompt in the comment. "Anything goes" usually isn't as helpful as you'd think - even if it's true! - so please try to add some optional details or ideas for people who might want a pointer. Since this is Gen and Friend month, it's a chance for you to focus on friendships you've always wanted to explore, epic adventures you'd love to see sketched out, rivalries you think could use some color -- anything goes!


• Since this is Gen and Friend month, we would prefer that prompts not be focused on pairings/relationships.


• You can leave as many prompts as you wish, although we would ask you to stick to 5 prompts to keep things manageable. If you manage to fill a prompt this month, however, we invite you to come back and leave more prompts of your own!

• Any work that fits the theme of Makeout Month will receive 10 points.
• Any work that doesn't fit the September theme, but is submitted in September, will still receive 5 points.
• Remember that you have to be signed up for a team before you post your work in order to get points!

• Official Chocobo Down Database
• August's Rare Character / Rare Relationship Prompt Post
• September's prompt post (see below)

• You can fill any of the prompts in any way, and still get points for your team! Even without the bonus, your points are important!
• Next month will be right up your alley. ;)

• Please include the prompt you are filling somewhere when you post your work!
• Since the mods can't guarantee we have the time to look at every work ourselves, please make sure it's obvious that your piece contains makeouts in the headers (label with a pairing, a kink, etc) - this makes our lives easier.
• This has the potential to be a kink-heavy month, which is awesome! Because not all kinks are everyone's cup of tea, please be extra conscious about your labeling, especially if you are gifting your work to the prompter.
• All kinks are welcomed and encouraged this month. Let's all be awesome to each other about this.

• As a first start, it shouldn't be a main character or a huge pairing/ship within the fandom. (Examples of obviously big chars or pairs might be Cloud, Zack, Sephiroth; Squall/Rinoa, etc.) "It's a big/popular character/ship done in a rare way" doesn't count – this is a month to showcase smaller and unappreciated characters and relationships alike, so please don't try to squeeze by on a technicality.


• The character or relationship has to be rare within its fandom to count. (For example, Cecil/Rosa or Rydia/Edge don't count as rare pairings just because FFIV is a small fandom, because they are fairly big pairings within the fandom. We'll have a small fandom month later when you can appreciate your bitty canons, don't worry!)


• Within those general guidelines, we're willing to let people operate in good faith, and decide for yourself what's a rare character or a rare ship. If the mods do have to make a call on whether or not your work counts as a rare character or rare ship, we will use our own exchange history (how often has that char/ship shown up in DOINK! works?) as well as presence on archive sites (fanfiction.net and AO3 mainly). We think that's fair. If you're worried about where we'll draw the line, you can always contact the mod team and have us make the call!

• Any work that fits the theme of rare character / rare relationship will receive 10 points.


• Any work that doesn't fit the August theme, but is submitted in August, will still receive 5 points.
