    Flying by [info]usagistu

    The absolutely stunning drawing that serves as the background pic for this community's layout was drawn by the amazing [info]usagistu, otherwise known as Melanie. :) Mel also did the art work featured in the community icon and [info]pearle9240 made it into an icon. Thank you, Melanie, for letting us use your gorgeous art work.

    Layout based on Four Weddings And A Funeral by [info]thefulcrum, and profile code by [info]gossymer.

    sshg_exchange rules +
    If you have not taken part in the [info]sshg_exchange before, the following rules will apply to you in addition to the General SSHG_Exchange Rules:

    Newbie Rule #1: We will need to see evidence that you actually have managed to produce 1,500 words of fiction. We don't care what ship or fandom, topic or style. Drabbles or a drabble series will not count, we're sorry. You must provide a link to your story or stories when you sign-up for the Exchange. (This rule does not apply to artists. However, see Newbie Rule #2)

    Newbie Rule #2: If you sign up as a newbie, promising to produce art, you are not obliged to produce art. However, we don't advise thinking that you can be sneaky, promise art even though you are not an artist, and then do fic. This rule is for your benefit as much as ours. We have seen too many people getting into deeper water than they can cope with because they think they can do a short story easily only to find out it's a damned sight harder than they anticipated.

    GENERAL SSHG_EXCHANGE RULES


    1. Membership to the community is open to anyone with a LiveJournal account, but only the moderators have posting access.

    2. You must be 18 to participate or join the community, and you must have a date of birth or an age statement listed in your User Profile that confirms you are 18 years of age or older.

    3. Format for making requests will be outlined in the sign-up post. Please follow it.

    3. Requests may be made for art, essays, or fanfiction. You may request art for a scene from one of your previously posted stories. Do not specifically request multi-media art or craft-art. It may be provided by the artist, but there is no guarantee that someone will sign up who can fulfil that request. However, be aware that your art prompt may not be answered by a drawing.

    4. All requests must focus on the relationship between Severus and Hermione. Genfic that explores their teacher/student relationship or their friendship/hatred is perfectly fine. Threesome fic is acceptable. A romantic relationship is not a requirement.

    5. Each fic must be at least 1,500 words, and drabble series do not count. There is no maximum length requirement. Do not submit works in progress. All works must be complete.

    6. Respect your recipient's wishes. If they want a happy ending, give them a happy ending. If they want genfic, give them genfic. If they want angst... well, you get the idea. If, for whatever reason, you are not happy with your assignment, please tell the mods right away. It is much easier to give you a new assignment and reassign yours to someone else than it is to scramble to find someone to replace you at the last minute.

    7. No sexuality between underage characters, either in fic or art. The age in question being 18. This is due to LJ's restrictions and the mods' personal preferences. If you want a chan exchange, feel free to start your own. Otherwise, all ratings and genres are allowed, including threesomes.

    8. Three strikes and you're out. The mods spent a lot of time chasing people to answer emails in the past. That takes up our time and makes us grumpy. If we have to chase you three times to get a response, you will be kicked out of the exchange. We do not expect a response within 24 hours, though that would be nice. We certainly won't wait longer than a week. We appreciate that sometimes stuff comes up, and you will be away from your computer for a week or more. This is why you have three strikes. We would also point out that it's not beyond the wit of man to either let your mods know you won't be around for X dates, or to put something up in your LJ saying you are out of town until X date.

    9. The mods' decisions regarding community matters are final. Clarifying details is one thing, but arguing with the mods will garner a strike.

    10. If you need an extension or if you need to drop out, tell the mods as soon as possible. Avoiding talking to your mods rather than facing up to the fact that you want to / need to drop out is not helpful to us. We're not going to shout at you for having Something Come Up. We are going to be cross if the way we find out about this is on the due date of the third extension when you finally come clean.

    11. Communications between mod and participant are confidential. We do not operate a name and shame policy, and if you drop out, we will not be shouting this from the rooftops. We also expect that communications between mod and participant remain confidential and will not be posted to LJ. You are, as always, at liberty to bitch about the mods in general terms, wonder how we ever manage to find our bottoms without a map, and assert that you could do much better if it were you in charge.

    12. Do not discuss your assignment with your recipient. If you have questions regarding the prompts or your recipient's preferences, contact the mods, and we will contact the recipient and forward the answers to you. Do not complain about your recipient or your assigned prompts other than in a flocked post neither your recipient nor the mods can see. This applies to before, during and after the exchange.

    13. It is your responsibility to have your story beta'd and coded properly when the story is submitted. This includes the proper html and LJ-specific coding. A cheat sheet for proper html and LJ-specific coding can be found here. There are also several resources for locating a beta reader. Here are some of them:

    Perfect Imagination is a very helpful resource when searching for a qualified beta reader. All beta readers listed in the database are required to pass a canon and grammar exam to become a part of the database.

    The Sycophant Hex Forums is another excellent resource. Joining the forum is required to post, but it is free and fast.

    The Petulant Poetess also has a beta directory with lots of information about the people offering their services.

    The Potter_Place Yahoo group has a beta request file.


    Participants are encouraged to exhaust the above resources BEFORE contacting the Mods to complain that they can't find a beta reader. There are plenty of resources listed here, so everyone should be able to find someone, but if you cannot find a beta reader, then you should contact the Mods.

    14. It is your responsibility to split a multi-chapter story into chapters. LJ will accept a post of approximately 64 kb or about 10,000 words. If your story runs longer than that, it will have to be split into chapters. If we split the story for you, we cannot guarantee that we will split it at the most advantageous point in the story.

    15. Artwork should be submitted to the exchange email in .jpg, .gif or .png format and be no larger than 800 by 600 pixels. If your artwork must be larger for some reason, contact the mods so that we can make alternate arrangements. Links should be provided to multi-media art. You must provide your own hosting for multi-media art; we cannot guarantee hosting.

    16. Stories should be submitted to the exchange email in .txt, .rtf, .doc or .docx format or should be included in the body of the email.

    17. All stories/artwork should include the following completed header:

    Author/Artist:
    Recipient:
    Title:
    Rating:
    Warnings:
    Genre:
    Summary:
    Original Prompt:

    18. We will do our best to ensure all participants have a gift in exchange for their contribution. However, this cannot be guaranteed. If you take part and the person for whom you are writing / drawing has dropped out, we may not be able to find a pinch hitter to take over their tasks. In that case, your work will be posted to the community at large.

    19. The [info]sshg_exchange is about community, not just about receiving gifts. Please join the community so you can keep track of exchange posts. Taking part in the exchange includes participating, reviewing and supporting others. No flames, no wank, and lots of squee, even if you don't strictly mean it. If you can't find something nice to say about a gift, then you're not trying hard enough. If you have a problem with what someone has said on your work of genius when it is posted, come and talk to us (see email address above). We will sort it out, if we think it needs sorting.

    20. We will not delete stories or artwork posted to the Exchange. The stories and artworks are gifts created for someone else, and the mods feel that deleting them is inappropriate. However if you wish to have your name removed from the story or artwork so that it is no longer associated with you, contact the mods and we'll do that. If there are extenuating circumstances that make it necessary for the story or artwork to be deleted, contact the mods and we'll evaluate the situation.
