The Heart of Camelot

Please bear with us.  We hope to be up and running again very soon.  There's currently a problem with our host site.  

Thanks to Wil1969 for the banner!

Hello, and welcome to The Chronicles of Camelot

This is a major site wide writing project we're going to be doing for the first half of 2014, in which we'll all be writing a multi-chaptered story.

How does it work?

Members will choose a personal word count goal for the story they intend to write, between 10,000 and 30,000 words, based on what they feel would be a reasonable goal for themselves:

What kind of stories are these? Can I write whatever I want?

All participants must base their story on a drabble they've written for one of our existing collections. The first four series are all eligible, as is The Hearts of Camelot Collection.

You may explore this as you wish – make your story a continuation of your drabble, write about the events leading up to it, explore it from a different perspective, whatever you like! As long as your story directly relates to that drabble and meets the minimum word count, it will be considered eligible.

Also, you are allowed to include the drabble itself as part of the story if that works for what you're doing.

How long do we have to complete these stories?

'The Chronicles of Camelot'  will be taking place from January 1 until June 30, meaning everyone will have six months.

When/where will these stories be posted?

Members may not start posting their stories until after the challenge is over. Starting on July 1, you may do so either in your individual author forum or the general fanfiction section as normal. I'll open a thread in here at that time where you may post links to your completed story.

Please note that stories must be posted in their entirety on 'The Heart of Camelot' fansite between July 1 and July 31 in order to receive your badge for completing the challenge. 

Any stories that are posted elsewhere or before or after July will not be eligible to win.

Are there any other restrictions?

Your story must be new, specifically written for this challenge. No using existing work, even if it technically fits the rules.

Also, no Crossovers and no Modern AU, please.
