Rules & Guidelines
NominationsEach user can submit up to 6 titles in the series, with 12 characters and 10 freeforms for tropes, plots, prompts and the like. You can nominate anything within the franchise, including the original books as well as spin off games including: Catherine, Jack Bros. and Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE.
Try to use canonical tags when possible, and the character/demon/title's full name. And a reminder for ships: a / between names calls for a romantic ship while & calls for platonic or familial. Ships should be placed as such in the character fields:
Group: Hanamura Yosuke & Satonaka Chie
Group: Heat/SerphCrossovers outside the fandom are not permitted, but you may use the Crossover Fandom itself to group characters up who are from different games. Please put the game/book/etc the two characters are from For that it would look like:
Group: Mashita Kanami (Persona 4: Dancing All Night)/Nyarlathotep (Persona 2)If there's a crossover that the two characters are already in you're trying to nominate (i.e. Hitoshura/Demi-Fiend and Raidou Kuzunoha XIV while under Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne) there is no need to nominate under the Crossover Fandom.
Due to the nature of them reoccurring in several games and continuities in this franchise, demons and specific characters should have the game tagged after their name. It'll be the same in the case of a Persona having a demon counterpart (i.e. Jiraiya), specify in parenthesis which you are referring to. Such as: Jiraiya (Demon) and Jiraiya (Persona), that way we can tell which one we are talking about. In the case of a Persona having two incarnations of itself in different Persona games, you may be even more specific and specifying which game the incarnation came from.
SignupsEach signup must have 3 requests and 3 offers, up to 10 each. You must request at least 1 fandom and character/group. You may have up to 10 characters/groups, plus 10 additional tags and description of your request. It's strongly recommended to place your DNWs in the description, as there they will be enforced.
You may add a Dear Author letter in your sign up as well. Though please have your letters completed and unlocked by the time sign up closes.
Matching will be based on at least 1 fandom and 1 character/group.
Assignments
Fanfiction must be at least 1000 words and fanart must be clean lineart on non-lined paper or digital at least 600x600 pixels.
The focus of your works should be on the characters/pairings/additional tags from the recipient, which may be what you matched on or any of their other prompts, and should avoid their DNWs. Works also must be new and created specifically for your recipient and have not been posted anywhere else online.
There will be no extensions given. If you must default, please do so as early as possible, and hit the default button on your assignment. Pinch Hits will get posted in our dreamwidth community ASAP.
