Rules for Authors

SIGN UP FOR THE DESTIEL HARLEQUIN CHALLENGE HERE.

Author requirements for the Destiel Harlequin Challenge Mega-Bang 2021 are:


 * Authors will write a minimum of 15,000 words. There is no maximum word-count. Go nuts!
 * Your work must be a complete, previously unpublished work of 15,000 words minimum. No part of it may be published prior to the open posting period.
 * You may not serialize your fic during the open posting period. Complete fics must be posted in full on the day you choose to publish.
 * You may interpret the summary in any way you wish, but we do ask that it be recognizable as the claimed summary.
 * Each author will claim and write one fic for this challenge. If you are co-writing with another author, please register separately as individuals and include your partner’s name on your form at the time of registration. If you decide later to co-write - for example, if you meet someone on Discord and click really well - email us at [mailto:&#x20;destielharlequin@gmail.com destielharlequin@gmail.com]. Only one member of a co-author pair should complete a claims form.
 * If you are signing up with an artist, please register separately as individuals and include your partner’s name on your form at the time of registration. If you decide later to work together - for example, if you meet someone on Discord and click really well - email us at [mailto:&#x20;destielharlequin@gmail.com destielharlequin@gmail.com]. Only one member of a an author/artist pair should complete a claims form.
 * You must tag your fic appropriately for any triggers or kinks you choose to include. Writers under the age of 18 will NOT be allowed to claim BDSM/Kinky Summaries or have access to the BDSM/Kinky or sexy-words channels in the Discord server.
 * You’re welcome to post on any platform you wish (ie, FF.net, Tumblr, Dreamwidth, etc.), but we ask that you post or cross-post on AO3 and add your fic to our AO3 Collection, which you can view here. If you post to Tumblr, please tag the blog @destielharlequin so that we may reblog it.
