ART REQUIREMENTS

What are the requirements for art? Artists are expected to make at least one new piece of art: a drawing or digital manip or picspam or fan mix or fan vid to reflect the author’s story.

A note about fan mixes – they must be at least ten songs long and have cover art (as if for a CD).

What is allowed – how explicit can I get? All ratings are allowed, all pairings are allows, but your artwork must reflect your chosen author’s preferences and story.

What happens if the number of artists doesn’t match up with the number of authors? We will do several rounds of claiming so that EVERY story has art in the event that fan fiction outnumbers the number of signed up artists. After the first ten days of art claims, authors will be allowed to select their own stories for artwork

Will my art be archived anywhere? No. As with the stories, artists will be responsible for where they decided to upload and post the final version of their art.
