Welcome to out Frequently Asked Questions page!
Sit back, kick off your shoes and throw up your feet while you check out our FAQ.
1.] What is Weyler Weekly?
It is a community for our beloved Wednesday characters. This community was created to have fun, to challenge yourself, to let loose, and write and draw. This could be for old time writers to write and have fun in between writing for fest, and for beginners to ease into writing. A community to share your stories/arts.Â
A prompt is a word, phrase, idea, picture that can inspire one's creative process.
3.] How are weekly prompt selected?
We have a list of prompts that are numbered which includes pictures, arts, phrases, songs, words, videos etc. Every Friday we will post a selected prompt from our spreadsheet.
4.] So what is the word count?
All stories must be a minimum of 500 words. Thereâs no limit, but the work must be completed when posted.
All Character, Rating, Genre is allowed. RPF is also welcome.
Sign Up for the prompt would be every Friday at 10 am EST. To sign up just comment on the post with that week prompt or email us at [email protected].
7.] When does sign up closes?
Sign up for the week prompt closes on Saturday.
8.] What is the purpose/reason for having sign-ups in this kind of community?
To keep everything organized as much as we can. Hence the sign up for each prompt. And to keep track of it so a master list with all the work can be posted.
9.] I missed the deadline to sign-up, can I still participate in the week's prompt?
If for some reason you miss the sign-up post, you can contact us via email and ask to be added to the list. However, the same rules apply; you will not be given an extension, and you must post your work by 9PM Eastern/Standard Time on Tuesdays.
10.] What if you miss the sign-up period or a previous prompt gives some you inspiration after it's been done and dusted? Are you still allowed to post a piece for that prompt?
No, once a prompt is closed no more sign ups is allowed for that prompt. However, we might go back to that prompt if no one signed up.
11.] When is the story/art due?
Your story/art is due Tuesday by 9 PM EST. This allows three days to complete your story or art.
Note: If your done before Tuesday, you can start posting as soon as the sign up for the prompt closes.
12.] Can we only post one story/art per prompt, or can we post more than one? And if so, should it be separate entries, or the same one?
Yes, you can post more than one story/art per prompt. This is for the writers/artists to get inspired and we donât want to diminish that. I'm assuming they will have different titles, so please use separate entries.
13.] When can we post our pieces?
As soon as sign up for the prompt closes.
14.] Will there be a collection on AO3 where I can add these story/art?
15.] Do you know how we will link to that collection when we post on AO3?
If you've never posted to a collection before, AO3 provides this
that explains the mechanics. As to posting to this specific collection, you wouldn't post to the main collection, but the subcollection depending what prompt your drabble used. For example, if your story/art is based on Prompt #01: Hobby there's two ways you could submit it:
* Go to the Weyler Weekly--Prompt #01: Hobby subcollection and hit the "Post To Collection" button
* When filling or editing a work, under "Associations", you'll see a line called "Post to Collections / Challenges", and you can post the keyword to subcollection in question there. In this case, you would put "WW_prompt01"
Each subsequent subcollection will follow this format, and their keywords will be "WW_prompt02", "WW_prompt3", etc."
16.]What if I want to submit my story into one story as different chapters, how do I add each chapter to a different collection?
Say you have something where one chapter is based on "Prompt #01", and another chapter is based on "Prompt #02âł
: [Whatever the next prompt will be]". Then, under "Associations" then "Post to Collections / Challenges", you would put, "WW_prompt01, WW_prompt02," and they should automatically link to each collection.
Then, if you could under each chapter summary, put what prompt that particular chapter is written for.
As this community has an open membership all must label their entries correctly. There may be younger members, and any and all drabbles containing explicit adult content must have a NC-17 rating, this is a must!
If you have any other questions that are not answered above, feel free to ask them in a comment. We'll answer them and then add them to the FAQ for others to use.
