Requests and prompts

-If you're requesting a fic, it's assumed that you're able and willing to write a fic in return. Sure, life may throw surprises and emergencies at you, but remember that someone is taking the time to write you a fic, so let's pay it forward.

- You can request a fic about any canon character. You can request bookverse, movieverse or AU stories. This is a exchange for the characters in Narnia, not their actors, so no RPF prompts, please. You are allowed to ask for crossovers as well, but be considerate and offer an alternative, in case your writer doesn't know the other fandom.

-You can be as detailed or vague as you want when filling out your prompt. Your assigned writer will do their best in fulfilling your wishes, but remember, no writer thinks the same.


Writing and submitting

- The fic you write must be at least 1000 words in length. You are more than welcome to write longer fics. Chaptered fics make the mods happy. The only requirement is that the story is complete by the time you send in your fic. The mods need all the chapters before we can start posting your story.

- Please do not discuss your assignment publicly. This is an anonymous fic exchange, and having the writer/recipient stay anonymous is part of the fun!

- Stories must be beta read before being turned in. Remember, this fic is a gift for someone, and you want it to be the best it can be. See the beta post if you don't already have a beta.

- When your fic is finished, please email it to us as an attachment (word doc or docx or text doc is fine).

-Tag [html codes] your story before sending it in. If your fic is not tagged, the mods will send it back to you. If your story doesn't need tags please note when submitting it.

- The stories will be posted anonymously by the mods, with only the person it was written for being revealed. This means that the identity of the author won't be revealed until the end of the exchange. At the end of the exchange there will be posted a master list of all the fics and their authors. Please don't post or acknowledge your story anywhere else before the exchange is over.

-And always, always remember to say thank you! Someone has taken time to write you a fic! Please remember to thank your writer for their effort.


Deadlines, Extensions, Dropouts

- We want this to be a fun exchange for everyone, and we want everyone who writes a fic to receive a fic. If you sign up to participate, we expect you to turn in your story by the due date. We have posted all the important dates, and we expect you to be able to stick to them.

- That said, we understand about life's surprises and emergencies. And we understand too, that sometimes you're just not able to write the story, for whatever reason. And that's okay! No reason to feel bad about any of it - we understand that it happens, and you're not going to be penalized for dropping out. The only thing we ask is that you let us know if you have to drop out, so we can find someone to cover your story. If the deadline comes and you haven't turned in a story, we'll find a pinch-hitter to cover your assignment.

- We won't begin posting stories until all are turned in. We plan to begin posting stories on August 7th or 8th, depending on which day we have all the stories. If you need an extension, you need to request one before the fic deadline (July 30th). Unlike last year, the extension will not be "as long as you need" - one of the problems we ran into last year was very delayed posting as we waited for all the stories to be turned in. If you are granted an extension, your fic must be turned in by August 3rd. If we do not have your fic by that day, your prompt will be assigned to a pinch-hitter.
