IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

To all 100songs members!

Thank you all for so much for your participation! Never had my friend and I expected such a wonderful amount of people willing to take the challenge! You have all been absolutely terrific, and the stories that I have read were magnificent.

Sadly, college and work have taken up most, if not all, of my free time, and I can no longer manage the community. I have decided to just let new challengee-s to claim their characters/pairings/fandoms and post their stories on their own, without my having to accept each of them individually. I just do not have the time to devote to this community anymore, though I wish it to still run; its not fair to the active participants if I just take it down without warning.

PLEASE NOTE. This is NOT an invitation to spam, flame, or generally break rules. I will still be monitering the community when I have a chance. You may still report any issues that have as of yet been unsolved or unnoticed by emailing me at the email posted on my profile.

Thank you all, again, for all of your enthusiasm for this challenge and for making this such a wonderful experience!

I'm sorry for not being able to commit the time needed anymore, but real life calls. Its time for me to look to the future!

Again, Thanks.
Your community admin,
--Dani.

PS: We are still adding completed tables to the completed table entry, so please still post in that entry if you have finished a table!

Rules

Well, there's really only one rule, and that is please be respectful. This is a community where aspiring authors can work on their creativity, get noticed by others and just have fun posting their fics and receiving comments. Please do not flame anyone and do not troll. Constructive criticism is a wonderful tool, but don't be mean about it. Do unto others as you would have others do unto you, or whatever. Yes.

Have fun, too!

FAQ’s

Is there a deadline?

Nope, that’s the beauty of it! Take as much or as little time as you need to write your stories and complete your table!

What focuses are allowed?

You can pick anything! It can be an original character, a TV show, movie, comic book, novel, band or anything else that tickles your fancy! You can focus on the general fandom, a specific character or a specific pairing. Once you’ve chosen a single character, all of your fanfics must focus on that specific character. If you choose a pairing, not all of the fanfics have to focus on the pairing, but both characters do have to appear in those stories.

How many people are allowed to claim the same general fandom, character or pairing?

An unlimited number of people can post the same claim as I have faith that all of the fanfics written will differ from each other, even if the prompts are the same.

Are Real Person (RP) fics allowed?

Yep! Go for it! =)

Which ratings are allowed?

Stories posted can have any rating between G and NC17.

How long should each story be and what kinds of stories are allowed?

The minimum word count is 100 words for a drabble, and there is no maximum. They can be poems, songfics, drabbles, ficlets, character studies, vignettes, essays, even series! Anything goes!

Can I write a series?

Of course, just make sure that each chapter of the series uses a different prompt.

If I claim a certain fandom and decide I'd like to change my claim, can I do that?

Yes, you can, but only once. Please be advised that changing claims is an administrative headache and will only be done once per person, or for special circumstances. If you decide that you can't write for a certain fandom no matter how much you try, just drop your claim. Sorry folks!

Do I have to do all of the challenge tables?

Of course not! You can choose either table, whichever one suits you better. However, if you ARE really adventurous, go ahead and attempt both!

What if I don't like a song or can't get inspired by it?

If you don't like one or a few of the songs on the table you've chosen and absolutely cannot write on that topic, feel free to interchange that song with any song listed in the other table. However, please only switch a few songs, no more than 10 in your challenge. It wouldn't be a challenge if you could run free too much!

How do I go about posting the stories?

You can post stories in the community with everything save for the general information (see below) behind a cut tag. Post stories as you write them. If you write more than one at a time, please post all stories in the same post behind a cut tag, each labeled with individual general information forms.

Are fake cuts allowed?

Sure thing, go nuts!

How many fandoms can I claim at once?

You can claim as many as you feel you can write, but you must work on them all at once, not finish one then work on the other.

Can we post stories written for this community elsewhere?

Of course! Pimp your fic as you see fit!

Do the stories need to be written in order?

Of course not! Write whatever inspires you! If that means starting from 89, go for it!

How closely do the stories need to relate to the prompt words?

They do not need to be centered on the prompt words themselves and the words/lyrics do not need to be in the story, but the story must have the general feel of the prompt.

Are we allowed to claim more than one fandom within the same table?

No, you need a seperate table for every fandom you claim.

Are crossovers allowed?

Sure, but no more than 10 stories within a table can be crossovers unless you've claimed a crossover as your fandom.

Can I use a fanfic for more than one prompt?

No, you need to write 100 separate stories.

Can I use things I’ve written in the past for this challenge?

Sure, as long as the story fits a prompt.

What if I want to write two different fics for one song?

That's perfectly fine! Just put the second one under one of the writer's choice prompts!

What if the question I have isn’t posted here?
