Slashababy fics are due on December 26!

If you have a problem that might keep you from finishing on time, please contact us as soon as possible, the sooner the better!

( Beta Readings Are Good )

How to submit your story

When you're ready, please send your story to secret.slasha @ gmail.com as an attachment in plain text (.txt file). Name the attached file "submission-from-yourname.txt" (where yourname is the name you signed up with).

The story should be formatted the same way as for an LJ post: please use <i></i> for italics and <b></b> for bold, but don't put in lj-cut tags or a disclaimer (we will add those.) Please separate paragraphs with a blank line.

If you have any questions about formatting or about anything else, email us at secret.slasha @ gmail.com

-- your mods

Sign-ups for 2011 slashababy -- the LotR RPS story exchange since 2002 -- are now open! A chance to give and get a fanfic gift, and share with the whole fandom!

The rules are the same as previous years -- all participants get an assignment to write for another participant, matched so that everyone has pairings and themes that appeal to them. Each story should be at least 1,000 words, though there is no maximum: some people have written epics (good ones!). The stories are due on Boxing Day, and we'll post them on New Year's Eve. Everyone gets a chance to read the stories and leave comments, including guessing who wrote them, as we won't reveal the authors until January 6.

Check out previous years' stories at slashababy and sign up today!

• Sign-ups start today and end on October 31
• Assignments will be sent out by November 6
• The deadline for submissions is December 26
• Stories will be posted on December 31
• Authors will be revealed on January 6
