FAQ

Is this for fanworks only, or can I create something original?

Both are equally welcome!

What types of works are allowed?

Basically, if you created it in some way, then it's okay. You can write, draw, sculpt, compose, whatever!

Must my work be about alcohol and/or drinking?

No, not at all! You can interpret the cocktail name you're given in any way you choose, from the most literal to the vaguest of inspirations.

What are the minimum/maximum requirements?

There are none. Doesn't matter if it's a rough sketch or a polished painting, a drabble or an epic, etc.

I'd like to sign up, but I don't have a DW account. Can I still take part?

Absolutely! You can either comment anonymously on the sign-up post, or with OpenID. The latter enables you to use some other social-media account you may have, such as Twitter. You can also email me if you'd prefer, and I'll send you the name of your cocktail.

I'd like to post my finished work to the AO3 collection, but I don't have an account.

Let me know and I'll do my best to get you an invite.

I have another question...

Please comment right here or drop me an email at galerian.ash@gmail.com, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can!

What if I have to default (for whatever reason, end of the year is terribly hectic for me)?

[galerian_ash]

Then I'll hope things will get less hectic for you, and that you'll have better luck with the next challenge here instead! Which is to say, it's totally fine -- if you can't submit a work, for whatever reason, don't worry about it. It's not a big deal at all; this is just meant to be fun, no pressure involved :)

Quick question - is RPF allowed? I always prefer because some challenges don't allow it.

[galerian_ash]

Yup, it is!

[bookscorpion]

Just in case they are needed, I have 4 AO3 invitations!

[galerian_ash]

Thank you, that's really kind of you to offer! There isn't a huge clamor for invites (I think there's been one or two people asking during all the years I've run events), and I do have a few myself -- but it's great to know there are some extras to fall back on, should things change.

BTW, I hope things are going well with your Snakebite! (Wow, that sentence sounds wrong...)

[bookscorpion]

:D The Snakebite has finally bitten and I'm writing it right now!

[galerian_ash]

Haha, that's great to hear! Looking forward to seeing the result!

Is there a chance of the usual a surprise extension? I had hoped to be able to finish but my internet connection has pretty much wandered off to pine for the fjords and the technician won't be here til after the deadline.

[galerian_ash]

You know it! :Db (I would've posted about it yesterday, sorry, but I've actually been having a similar problem myself and literally just got back online -- hope things get sorted for you quickly! *fistbump of solidarity*)

[kalloway]

Thank you again! (Internet fixed, technician was appalled at the work of previous technicians, glad you're back online too! Though I always get so much cleaning done for some reason.) Fic is posted!

[galerian_ash]

I'm glad they were able to fix it for you -- and boo at the previous technicians! I wish I could say I got a lot of cleaning done, or some other productive thing, but... uh... let's not talk about that ^_^;

Awesome! Thank you again for taking part in this little challenge too, and thank you for asking about the extension -- you remembering that usual "surprise" put a big smile on my face!
