Chapter Text
I wanted to set up a Guns N' Roses Fanfiction Gift Exchange, so I did. Everyone that signs up will get to submit a prompt they want someone else to write and then you'll all get a prompt to fill. Like a Secret Santa except with Guns N' Roses fanfiction instead of physical gifts. If that makes sense. I'm sure this has been done before. I'm closing submissions at midnight, November first.
Here's the link to the google form -> https://forms.gle/Rikro9xh3d9vURp46
Rules for the Guns N’ Roses Fanfic Gift Exchange:
What Prompts CANNOT Include:
- No character death.
- No rape. This means all participating parties have to agree to participate, with a full understanding of what they’re agreeing to. If someone is heavily intoxicated to the point that they don’t understand the gravity of what they’re agreeing to, that’s rape.
- No underage sex, with exceptions to stuff that falls under the “Romeo and Juliette” law, meaning, if a minor (under the age of eighteen) is having sex, it needs to be with another minor. No sixteen-year-olds having sex with twenty-year-olds. That’s gross, illegal, and I don’t want to read prompts that include that type of stuff.
- No bestiality. Or necrophilia. Come on people. Just don’t.
What Prompts CAN Include:
- The characters you want written about.
- The relationships you want written about.
- A basic idea of the events you want written about.
- A general idea of what personalities you want the characters to have.
What Fanfics SHOULD Include:
- A fanfic that fits the prompt. If you’re given a prompt that involves Slash, Duff, and a blindfold, you had better write a fanfic that includes Slash, Duff, and a blindfold.
- A fanfic that is between 1,500 and 4,000 words. Aim for around two thousand words for your fanfic.
- In Archive of Our Own, you have the option to gift your fic to a user. Gift the fic to the user who submitted the prompt, or at least mention them in an author’s note. I want people who participate in this fanfic exchange to get promoted a bit in the Guns N’ Roses fandom so that we all get more readers on our fics.
- PLEASE USE A SPELLING AND GRAMMAR CHECK FOR YOUR FANFICS. GRAMMARLY IS A FREE WEBSITE. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR MISPLACED COMMAS, POOR CAPITALIZATION, OR MISSPELLED WORDS.
When the Deadlines Are:
- If you haven’t filled out and submitted the google form by 12:00, midnight, November first, sucks for you. Your prompt won’t be included in the fanfic exchange.
- I will email everyone’s prompt out to them by 12:00, midnight, November second, along with an overview of the rules and deadlines.
- You MUST have the fic written and uploaded to Archive of Our Own by 12:00, midnight, January first.
- All these times are in Pacific Daylight Time because that’s the timezone I live in and I get to make the rules.
