The Big Picture

[estelraca]

This community is going to be a place where the tokusatsu fan community is able to do a fic and art exchange.  The way it's going to work is that there will be two sign-up posts, one for offering and one for requesting.  Offer to write/draw whatever you're comfortable with; request whatever you want in the toku genre.  The prompts will be given anonymously to those who sign up, with names of requesters only revealed when everything is posted in December.

The time-line as I'm seeing it now is:

Sign-ups: Open until Oct. 31st
Writers/Artists Work on Prompts: Nov. 1st-Dec. 13th.
Works are Posted: Dec. 13th-Dec. 31st, depending on participation

My idea is to post 1-2 pieces a day, so that everyone gets a chance to read (and hopefully comment) on a majority of the works.  (Plus it keeps the suspense going waiting for things to come up!)  If you sign up to participate and aren't able to complete your exchange piece, just let me know as soon as possible.  (Conversely, if you're really good at getting things done quickly and would be willing to offer to do more than one piece/to pinch-hit if the need arises, please let me know.)

Any suggestions for the good of the order should be asked here!  If everything's clear enough, just head up to the respective posts to sign up as a writer/artist or to make your requests.  Thanks a ton to everyone who participates!  It will hopefully be a good time for all.

Writer/Artist Sign Ups

[estelraca]

If you are a writer or artist, this is the place for you to sign up!  Writers, please expect to write at least 1500 words; artists, please be prepared to do artwork of a similar caliber.  Please fill out the following form and submit.  Submissions will be kept hidden from other participants and just used to match you to exchange prompts.

Writer, Artist or Both: What can you offer?

Series Willing to Write/Draw For: Please fill in which series you can write for (Kamen Rider, Super Sentai, Ultraman, Garo, etc.).  Be as specific as you can be (since, for example, being able to write for Kamen Rider Kuuga does not mean you can write for Gaim), but do feel free to say "all Showa Kamen Rider" or "all Heisei Super Sentai" or "all Garo" if that's true.

Relationship Types Willing to Write/Draw For:  Gen, f/m, m/m, f/f, polyamorous, any other pairing types Estel is forgetting

Things You Will Not Write/Draw:  List anything that you would absolutely not be willing to write/draw here, so we can try to avoid matching in a way that would make everyone unhappy.  (Examples of things to list here include incest, rape, hero/villain pairings, mpreg, dancing teddy bears, etc.  I don't need to know why you don't want to write it, either; if it would make you uncomfortable, I don't want to ask you to deal with it.)

Anything Else I Should Know:  Throw in any additional information you feel will help me match you better.

That's it!  I'll get prompts out to people in a reasonable time.  There will likely be four prompts; you may be able to write for all or only some of them, depending on how the match goes (people can request anything; I may not be able to find a writer for everything, though).  When you get your prompt, go crazy!  Have fun!

Prompt Sign-Up!

[estelraca]

And now the part that everyone has been waiting for!  Please submit FOUR prompts in the same comment using the following template.  The first should be the one you most want filled; the last should be the last priority.  Please choose four prompts that would make you happy, though, because depending on the writer pool you might end up with anything from 1-4.  (The more series you give us to choose from, the more likely we'll be able to match everyone; the more popular your choice is in the fandom, the more likely we'll be able to match it.  That being said, ask for whatever you want, because there's a lot of toku out there that deserves a lot more love.  Especially on the Ultraman side of this fandom.)  Prompts will be kept screened from the rest of the community, though at least the filled one will be shown when the gift is given.

Prompt 1/2/3/4:
Series:
Characters:
Relationships:
Prompt:  Prompt however you want--a plot suggestion, a bit of song, whatever.  Try to offer guidance without hobbling your gift-giver.
Yes Please:  Offer a few suggestions of tropes/kinks/etc. that you enjoy.  The writer is under no obligation to use any/all, but I imagine we'd all like for our giftee to enjoy what they receive.
Never Ever List:  List anything that you absolutely DON'T want showing up in your gift; it can be anything from kissing to spiders to kissing spiders.  This will absolutely NOT be in your gift.
Preference for Fic versus Art:  How strongly do you feel about getting a piece of art versus a piece of fiction, on a scale from all fic to don't care to all art all the time.

Feel free to just do the "Yes Please" and "Never Ever List" once if they're the same for all your prompts; if they're different depending on the series, go ahead and use them for each prompt.
