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 Road Trip Fic
(Anonymous) 2012-06-02 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)Verse: Games - III/IV/V
Rating: R
Characters/Pairings: Green, Red, Leaf, Ethan, Pikachu, Eevee. Established Leaf/Green; other pairings develop during the course of the fic.
Warnings: language, some sexual content, break-ups.
Summary: After Red's descent from Mt. Silver, Leaf leads him, Green, and a rather unexpected tagalong on a road trip through Unova. Red is aimless, Ethan wants what he can't have, Leaf hopes for the best, and Green isn't sure where he stands anymore.
Snippet:
The air mattress is lumpy tonight. The ground is harder than usual here up north, and Green is glad for the blanket they bought in Driftveil—and for Leaf at his back, who radiates heat.
She makes a soft noise, pressing closer. Her hand moves along his side, skimming over the soft divot between his ribs and hipbones, and comes to rest on his upper thigh. Green scoots back, feeling her soft shape press against his spine. A kiss is pressed between his shoulder blades, and he shivers lightly.
He opens his eyes. Through a narrow gap in the tent flap, Red's lighted tent draws his gaze.
"Hmm?" Leaf murmurs, feeling the tension suddenly sag from Green's body.
He turns onto his back and Leaf willingly accomodates him, draping an arm across his chest, her toes curling around his ankle.
"Not tonight," he says.
"Okay," Leaf replies. She kisses his cheek, more sleepy than fond, and nestles into the pillow.
Green turns his head and stares at the distant light.

I am looking for: Beta-readers
Beta-readers: There are currently no beta readers working on this project, but we are excited to work with one on this! This is being written in the third person limited, present tense, and from shifting perspectives. Since this is a road trip that simultaneously develops the relationships and friendships between each of the four characters, it would be great to work with a beta who has a good eye for pacing and imagery. It would also be great if you have can point out any significant stylistic discrepancies and help find a way to reconcile them, should they exist. Thank you in advance, and we look forward to working with you!
