How To Turn In Your Rough Draft

Hi everyone. Let's recap really quick.

Authors, you have until 18th of July to turn in your rough draft. You are allowed to turn it in if you have 7,000 words or more. If you have less and still want to turn something in, email us or PM myself or [livejournal.com profile] sirwynai. We'll be accepting such drafts below 7K on a case by case basis.

Now, you're going to want to send your draft to whitecollar.bb.mods@gmail.com. What you will put in the subject line is "White Collar Rough Draft: [username]". Where username is, please put your username. This just makes it easier for us to go through the drafts and figure out who is who. You either want to attach your document or send us the link through google documents. If you go through google documents, make sure that we're allowed to read the draft.

Also, you're going to want the following header in the body of your email:

Title (Working or otherwise):
Characters/Pairings:
Rating:
Any Warnings:
Short Summary:

Please note if your title is a working title for our artists. Also, we still need artists! We are really going to try to get more. If not, we will think of something to do. I hope everyone has a great weekend and I'm off to play in the Harry Potter fandom for a bit. :D

Cheers!

So . . . the fic is completely drafted and in the middle of beta, but I have it split into chapters in individual Google docs files because G docs flips out when I tried and keep it all together in one. How much would you hate me for sending you six separate links?

I have a lot more than 7K, (try 17K to be more accurate at present) but it's not really close to being a full draft yet. I'm working on getting it done by the final deadline, and my current draft gives out most of the story's arc, but there are still big holes in my mosiac.
Enough for an artist to deal with.
That still okay to submit?
This is my first BB, so I thought I'd double check what the rules were in that respect.
