How to sign up
(Sign-ups open Sat 17 Mar 2018 - Fri 13th April)

1. Choose a date from the below list. Try to go for empty dates, if you can, so we get a good spread across the month, but two or three people can claim the same date.
   
2. If you would like to write from a prompt, choose one from the Prompt Post. (Only one claim per prompt if possible, please). You do not have to claim a prompt to play.
   
3. Comment to this post with your date, username (for wherever you're planning to post the fic), the prompt you've chosen and/or the minor character(s) you're going to be focusing on.
   
4. Congratulations! You're signed up!
   

You can sign up for up to two fics initially - simply choose a second date/prompt etc., and repeat the process. (If you would like to write even more, you can claim a third once you have posted your first fic & so on.)



Posting
(Posting: Sat 14th April – Sat 12th May)

• You must either post the fic (under a cut) to the comm, or link back to it from wherever you choose to post it. (There is a collection on AO3.)
  
• Min. word count 500 words. (No maximum). It's a low pressure fest, but please do ensure your fics are correctly formatted and spell-checked, and beta-ed if needed.
  
• You are welcome to use your fic to double up for another challenge (e.g. bingos, prompt tables etc.), but do check that's okay with the other challenge's rules.
  
• You MUST use a heading with rating, word count, any relevant warnings and all fics must be under a cut if posted directly to the comm.
  
• You will need to join the comm to post. (If you're not on DW, please contact the mod to arrange to make the link post to the comm for you.)
  
• Please post on the date claimed or let the mod know if you won't be able to manage it. (Don't worry - rearranging a date shouldn't be a problem and there's no penalty for having to drop out. Real life eats us all at times.)
  

I will post a masterlist once the fest is over.
There's further (non DW) contact info and a FAQ at the Introduction & Info post and you can sign up via those methods or by anon-commenting if you don't have an DW account. There is also a banner post for pimping purposes - please promote the fest wherever appropriate.

I wasn't sure about participating, but then I saw #20: Duggan, P.I., and knew I had to write it. (It's all your fault, jjpor!)

And um, I realize this is a time travel fandom, but I'm pretty sure those dates to choose from are wrong? Going by the dates listed at the top, I would like to choose April 29.

[merryghoul]

I think your sign-up list is off—it starts with 14th March.

I’d like to sign up for 14th April—I’m working on a retelling of “The Crimson Horror,” so I’ll choose Winifred Gillyflower for the purpose of this signup.

I'd like to sign up for 8th of May, with the 2017 prompt: 'Gia Kelly (Seeds of Death), Saving the world isn't just punching aliens, radio-ing for help or shoving gold into Cyber chest plates.'

I'll be posting as giddyant on AO3.

[jjpor]

Please may I have the 12th of May (to give me plenty of time - I'll need it!) - I'll be posting to Teaspoon and AO3, where my username is the same as here, and I will be writing about everybody's (or just my?) favourite G-Man Canton Everett Delaware III. Thank you! :)

[juliet316]

Welp, one small step...

Sign me up for May 1st and Journey Blue from Into the Dalek.

[paynesgrey]

I'd like to sign up!
I'd like April 30th. I'll be posting as paynesgrey on Archive of our Own.
I'd like the prompt:

Courtney Woods. She decides to prove to the Doctor that she'd make a great companion and somehow ends up as the President of the United States instead.

[john_amend_all]

I'll aim for 23rd April: Shou Yuing getting a trip in the TARDIS

[romanajo123]

* crawls out of my corner of the Net & whispers* Can I still sign up?

[m_findlow]

Now I know I'll regret having left myself such a short time to complete my submission (given that next week is a write off being contest week at fic_promptly) but I will endeavor to tackle prompt 18. Gerald and Harriet from Torchwood Season 2, in period alien-fighting shenanigans on behalf of the King. I've been eying this for weeks but with no solid plot as yet.
Can I select May 10th? I'll be posting as m_findlow at LJ.

[silasnathaniel]

Hi! can I have the 11th? My ao3 is worry and my fic will be centered around Ibbotson (Mawdryn Undead) I know this is real late but I write fast lol
