This is where writers, artists, and beta-readers find other people to work in teams with. Here's how this works:
✗ This match-up post is open for the duration of the event, and updates periodically to let you know if there are changes in team composition. Artists and beta-readers may claim prompts at any time, assuming there's space on the team.
✗ Commenting here means you're willing to have other people depend on you to do your share of the work. Don't comment here until you're sure that you want to follow through with the big bang. (And if you do drop, please let us know?)
✗ Keep in mind that a team can have four people max—- Two writers, one artist, one beta-reader
- One writer, two artists, one beta-reader
- And less is okay too (for example, one artist and one author)
✗ Writers:- You must have at least 1,000 words written before you post here. Similarly, you're under no obligation to post here. There's nothing wrong with wanting to work alone.
- The match-up post opens on June 2, but it's okay if you're late. Just comment here when you're ready.
- All comments you leave on this post should be anonymous.
- To start, leave an anonymous comment on this post advertising your story. (It's okay if a lot of the information you have is tenuous/open to change. Just do your best.)
- Here's a form for your convenience:
✗ Artists and beta-readers: - Please make sure your PMs are on. (Go to my account settings, scroll down to "DW Private Messages," and make sure it's set to "Registered Users.")
- Once that's done, browse through the story ads! Feel free to ask questions, if you'd like (anonymous or not, your call).
- If you are an artist or beta-reader under 18 years of age, do not claim prompts with ratings higher than T or PG-13.
- If you decide that you want to join a team, leave a SIGNED-IN reply on the ad that uses the subject header "ARTIST/BETA-READER CLAIM" (whichever applies to you).
- You can only pick one story to work on, so choose wisely!
- Don't feel obligated to take on a project. If nothing appeals to you, that's okay.
- Remember this is first-come, first-serve. If you see that there are already two artists on a project or another beta-reader on a project, scroll on by.
✗ Writers will then PM the claiming artists and beta-readers to talk/plan privately. At this point you can exchange contact information (e-mail, IM, etc.) if you wish. If you'd like the mods to set up a private channel on our discord server for your team, just let us know.
✗ If, during these initial talks, it becomes clear that a match-up isn't clicking, that's fine. Just delete your claim on the story's ad. This signals that there is now a spot free for other interested parties.
✗ As you can see, a lot of this is nebulous—therefore, please keep checking this post! As time goes on, new story ads may be posted, spaces may open up on stories you were interested in, and new claims may be made. Just keep looking.
✗ This is a drama-free zone. Be excellent to each other!
✗ Questions or comments? Please drop us a line.
There are currently 15 writers, 17 artists, and 6 beta-readers. |

The Stars and The Ancient Past (Paul/Ash)
(Anonymous) 2012-06-02 06:59 am (UTC)(link)Verse: anime
Rating: PG-13 (may possibly end up as rated R)
Characters/Pairings: Paul/ Ash (Comashipping); Professor Oak, Gary Oak, Reggie, Brock, and some characters introduced during the Diamond and Pearl series.
Warnings: none I can think of
Summary: Ash returned to Sinnoh after almost four years – not to compete in the region's league, but to accompany Professor Oak who had been invited to conduct a series of lectures – and thought nothing much had changed in the region until he ran into a Pokémon Ranger whose purple hair reminded Ash of someone from his past. After chasing a girl who could throw a mist ball, Ash was thrown back into a flurry of adventure involving a handful of special and Legendary Pokémon, a new bounty hunter, a mysterious scientist and an old rival.
Snippet:
Ash rushed over to the riverbank. The young girl he saw earlier was kneeling on the ground, her head bent, hand over the wounded spot on her arm. With cautious steps, Ash approached her, said, "Hey, are you okay?" in a soft, congenial voice.
The girl snapped her head up to look at Ash, her bright amber eyes shining. Then she whirled around at the sound of voices, hollering, "There she is!"
Ash followed her gaze and saw around five men in red and black overall suits. They had their weapons aimed at the girl but she was quick to jump up on her feet and disappear behind the thick cluster of trees.
Two of the men fired their guns but instead of bullets, white beam of light cut through the air, hitting tree trunks.
"Pikachu, thunderbolt!" Ash yelled, raising his hand to gesture at the five men.
Pikachu dashed toward the edge of the river, bellowing, "Pi… ka…chu!" as bolts of electricity shot out from his cheeks, hitting the men before they could even aim their weapons at him.
A/N: …
Current Word Count: 1,787
Percent Complete: around 10 – 12%
I am looking for: both please
Artists: Though this is based on anime, the setting is years into Ash's future so I hope for an artist who can draw a quite attractive Ash and Paul in their mid or late teens.
Beta-readers: I am fairly aware of the do's-and-don'ts in creative writing but this is fan fiction and I wish to write in a more lax or lenient way so a beta who won't burst a blood vessel over sentences that start with conjunctions (but, and) will be a dear. And one who can edit a fic using 'track changes' and 'insert comment' (if necessary) in Word will be awesome.
Artist Claim
But here I am! This story is intriguing and I have to admit, I want to know more about that girl. And the others, but really, I kind of want to draw that girl.
(I've been meaning to this but I was scolded so I only got to do this now... ;P)
