A Discworld Fic and Art Fest!

At noon tomorrow, Art and Fic prompt collection for Disc Fest II will come to a close, and prompt claiming will begin.

Remember that you don't have to be a member of the disc_fest community or planning to write or create art for this year's Fest in order to leave a prompt, so go ahead and click here (on Dreamwidth) or here (on LiveJournal) to leave as many prompts as you'd like.

Please leave your fic and art prompt(s) in a comment below (note: there are separate prompt posts in the DW Disc Fest community and the LJ Disc Fest community, but you only need to leave your prompt(s) in one place)

*You do not have to be a member of this community to leave a prompt.
*You do not have to be planning to participate as a writer or an artist to leave a prompt.
*Feel free to leave one prompt or multiple prompts.

Your prompts can be general or specific, as you choose. Some examples of different types of prompts are as follows ( below the cut… )

Feel free to link this post anywhere you think there might be interest.

Last year was the inaugural run of disc_fest, an anonymous (gen, het, and slash) fest designed to encourage the creation of fiction and art based on characters from Terry Pratchett's wonderful Discworld series.

The Fest was great fun (the Master List can be seen here on Dreamwidth and here on LiveJournal), and it seems only right to bring it back for another go.

Basic Disc Fest Information:

* Mirror communities have been set up on LiveJournal and Dreamwidth (I'd encourage everybody to subscribe to both communities if possible, but all fic and art will be posted to both comms when the time comes)

*Starting Friday, the 11th of May, posts will be made on both communities , soliciting prompts for this year's Fest. Note: you do not have to be a member of the community, nor do you have to participate to leave prompts.

*All prompts will be collected and organized for a Claiming Post, scheduled for May 25 (i.e., the Glorious 25th of May!)

*Prompts can be claimed from 25 May through 1 June, 2012 - and all prompts will be available to artists and authors alike.

*The deadline to submit all Fic and Art is 20 July, 2012, and the header all participants need to use is here ( under the cut )

*29 July, 2012: Disc Fest goes live!

*5 August: Authors and Artists names will be revealed.

Below are the 22 Stories, Artworks, and Videos - now with the names of their creators attached - that were posted as part of Disc Fest 2011

Thanks to everybody who helped make this inaugural round of disc_fest a success.

Hi, all!
