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. |

Everything Old is New Again
(Anonymous) 2012-06-03 04:32 am (UTC)(link)Verse: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky
Rating: PG-ish
Characters/Pairings: Mostly gen; mild F!MC/F!Partner and F!MC/Grovyle.
Warnings: None
Summary: Years in the future, the savior of the world and her loyal partner head a guild of their own, helping those in need and training the new generations of rescue teams. Their reputation attracts a pair of new recruits, who turn out to be very familiar faces.
(TL;DR version: The main characters of Mystery Dungeon live long enough to see Grovyle and the human version of the hero be born. Shenanigans ensue.)
Snippet: It’s harder getting up these days. Charizard can feel her age in her bones, her muscles, the knotting pain in her back when she uncurls herself in the morning. It doesn’t seem fair, sometimes; she did so much for time, and yet it’s still screwing her over just like every other sorry sucker in the world.
Or maybe she’s just whining again.
“Hey, wake up!” There’s a hurried knock on the door, and the Meganium bursts into the room, smiling and full of bright, sunny energy.
Charizard groans and buries her head under her wing.
“Ugh, how do I even stand you?” Meganium frowns. “There’s things to be done and adventures to be had! Don’t you ever feel bad for being so lazy?”
“Nope.” Charizard forces her head even deeper against her body, all too aware what Meganium’s next weapon will be.
Sure enough, two olive green vines worm their way under Charizard’s protective wing and loop themselves around the prongs on the back of her head.
“Come on,” Meganium says, straining backwards with all her strength. “You are going to get up, and for once in your life you are going to act like the head of the Explorer’s Guild and not some snorlax who wandered into this office by mistake!”
A/N: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon future!fic, anyone?
Current Word Count: 2003
Percent Complete: 20%
I am looking for: Either or both!
Artists: I would be so incredibly thrilled if anyone volunteered to do art for my fic! So far, my fic includes a meganium, a charizard, a treecko, a female human, and a skarmory. (Not always in the same scene, though, so you definitely don't need to know how to draw all of these.)
Beta-readers: I could really use a beta to doublecheck my story for SPaG, awkward sentences, and things that just don't work. Also, if any potential beta's interested, I would love someone who could bounce ideas back and forth about the plot! I have a general outline down, just not the specifics.
Artist Claim
Oh god, yes. I kinda totally want to do this one because GROVYLE and also PMD is amazing. (I can also see if I can help with plot ideas, if you're so inclined. :P)
