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. |

Pokemon Gray
(Anonymous) 2012-06-12 12:18 am (UTC)(link)Verse: Games, mostly Gen 2/4/5; 10-15 years after Gen 5
Rating: R for sure, maybe higher
Characters/Pairings: many, but focuses on Cynthia, Looker, Silver, trans!N, Black, Amanita, Iris, Giovanni, Ghetsis; Silver/N is the main pairing but there are others in the outline including Juniper/Fennel and Cynthia/everybody
Warnings: violence, character death, relationship drama, possibly sex?
Summary: Giovanni and Ghetsis have come to an uneasy truce in conquering Unova --- by cloning Pokemon and distributing firearms they have essentially taken over both League and local governance. While they seek to consolidate power and spread their reign to the other League Regions, various pockets of resistance loosely organized by Looker and Cynthia work against them, and Silver, Black, and N try to take them down the old-fashioned way: Collecting League Badges to challenge Giovanni's status as Unova Champion.
A/N: oh god there is so much to keep track of! but I am really excited about this :)
Current Word Count: ~1500
Percent Complete: oh god maybe 5%
I am looking for: Artists and Beta-readers!
Artists: There's all sorts of different kinds of art that could go with this, and if there are particular characters or Pokemon you are more interested in, you could just illustrate/soundtrack/mixedmedia/otherwise-artify those bits.
Beta-readers: For the love of Arceus help me deal with the fact that I am jumping between like seven plot arcs. I can keep it awesome, but I could definitely use help. Also in general having someone to bounce ideas back and forth with is great!
