usxuk | [MOD POST] A Love Across Time- The USxUK Fanfiction Anthology Project

Hello everyone! After much delay, here's the info on the writing project, as well as the signup post.

What is the writing project?:
-It's an anthology style project to be completed by members of

usxuk. The completed project will be released in a downloadable format for free, and if there is enough interest/we have the resources, we may consider selling a print copy of it.
-The novel will feature short USxUK stories by the authors of this community+ hopefully a piece of art (a black and white inked drawing will be fine, it does not need to be colored) to go with each piece. Artist signups will be at a later point, so please look out for them.
-The stories will be based around three themes- yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Please read the rest of the post for more info on them.

As a writer, what do I have to do?:
-SIGN UP. I will keep signups open for two weeks (until September 10th). After which, if you have not signed up, your work will not be in the anthology. It's important that I know exactly how many people are participating with quite a bit of time to spare, so we know how many artists can sign up. As a note regarding art: You will ABSOLUTELY be able to do both fic and art if you wish.
-Choose a theme. The anthology will be divided into three themes.

Yesterday- Any story that takes place before (or during) the year 1950.
Today- Your story must take place during the time period of 1951-current.
Tomorrow- Your fic must take place in the future, whether the very near future or the far distant future.

Both canonverse and AU are fine. If you're writing an AU that is in 'another world,' just pick what you believe would be the equivalent time wise. For example a fairytale world would likely be 'yesterday.'

Obviously, fanfics should be USxUK.

~~I will be opening TEN slots for each theme. If those slots are all filled, I'll open additional slots in each one. Please select quickly so you can have the theme of your choice.~~ I've opened up more slots. :)

-Complete a fanfiction that is a maximum of 3,000 words long, and no less than 800 words by the due date of OCTOBER 1ST 2012, giving you about five weeks. Once you have completed your fanfic you are to send it to me. I will have more info up on how to send me the completed fanfic later. You WILL be able to publish your fanfic on livejournal, ff.net, wherever after the writing project is 'published.' But please don't do it before! We want this to be filled with spiffy, all new fics.
-Have your fanfiction beta-ed well. As this is being 'published' in a sense, it's very important that you have your story checked over for spelling and grammar errors. I will put up a volunteer beta post in a week or two so those who don't have one can locate a beta to use. Think of this as a gift to your fellow fans, so please put your best into it.
-If you sign up and find out that you need to back up, PLEASE let me know as soon as possible.

I want to sign up!
