So there are great crack options out there and
we wanted to ask your opinion on some.
Boys cracks
With the amazing [livejournal.com profile] j2_everafter closing it's doors : (  we were thinking of running a
J2_crack Magical Tales Bang (Name to be determined – ideas?).

We see it as being open to fic of all sizes and to both fairytales (Disney and others), cartoons (print and TV) and television series.
*And again remember, crack only has to have some unworldly aspect to it. Personally I consider pretty much all of J2_everafter crack, just because of the themes not because of the writing style. So to keep that in mind. Serious writing on strange/unlikely AUs is more than welcome.

We're thinking of having an open word count and an option for artists, videos or writers to go solo if they choose. Or a story/Vid/ art sign up to offered art or fic toward the end.

Other things we were thinking of:
• not having a draft submission, just an email check in that you're still doing okay and still onboard.
• having two potential posting rounds that you could commit to later. (A shorter deadline in apx two months and a longer deadline of four months.) So if anyone wants to post earlier (no matter the length of the story) they can.

[Poll #1920496][Poll #1920496]

So? Opinions? Thoughts? Naming ideas?

I write the draft in a rush to make the deadline, but then go back and almost have to rewrite it. I'd rather pace myself more evenly.

I think we all do that. :) Some of the art drafts I've submitted have changed 180º by the time they're finished.

Maybe it's a matter of a draft that's as complete as possible, but not necessarily an ending yet.

That definitely works! :)

I agree with [livejournal.com profile] cassiopeia7. I think if there's no draft deadline, then some people write the final version in a rush to meet the deadline. If there's a draft deadline, at least there's time to rewrite. I think a draft at, like, 75% of the completed word count that at least has an ending outlined could work.

*nods* My rough drafts are always horror stories but at least it gives me somewhere to start and saves last minute panic over not having a story that's long enough. Blank documents are hard!

I participated in a challenge (can't remember which one, sorry) where you were only required to complete 80% of a story to hand in a rough (i.e. if there were missing scenes or no ending, that was okay, as long as you were in a position where finishing would be readily possible). It may also have been 80% of the min word count, but I couldn't say for sure.
