If anyone is going to it is me. Last prose I wrote was in the RPG. Last 4 years of my life has consisted of purely journalistic/public relations writing. I haven't really written prose in years, so I am excited.

Maybe we could do a short story about one of the scoobies dreams? Or Buffy gets a spell cast on her in season seven and she wakes up 10 years in the past? Or a poem on your favourite Buffy reltationship?

Question: How will voters be able ot read all of the fics, and poems? Will they all be posted in one post, or will there be links that take you to them?

The entries will be posted anonymously by the challenge account "The Muse" in separate threads on the day that the poll is open for voting and the voting poll will link to each story. This will allow each story to stand on its own and the authors can get feedback in each entrie's thread.
I'm thinking since the forum will be voting on stories which take longer to read, process and judge than banners in Bannerama, that the voting for the challenge entries will go on for longer than a week. I think we're going to leave the poll open for two weeks in order to have higher participation and allow people to read all the stories and make an informed decision.

Sounds good. I can understand why there would be another week added, since some of these things may take longer to read.

Two weeks for voting will work well (that second week would be like the "off week" for Bannerama, only people can still vote).

Do we PM the fic/poem to 'The Muse' when finished?

Do we PM the fic/poem to 'The Muse' when finished? There'll be more instructions posted soon! Look for an official post announcing the deadline as well as instructions on how to format your submission. Remember that the deadline won't be for another two weeks so there's no rush to submit right away. I want to encourage people to find someone to beta (a person who edits your work) your submission. It always helps to have a second set of eyes.

Preferred Subject: I'd like to do an AU story also known as the "what if" scenario. Preferred Length: I think less is more in this case since people will have multiple stories to read. So nothing longer than a ficlet but I'm not sure how I feel about drabbles. I'm anti drabble. Just putting it out there. Preferred Format: I'm gonna go ahead and buck the trend and request at least one time people write in a screenplay format just to change it up.

Screenplay would be neat for me to read but I am pretty sure impossible for me to write so if/when we do that I will be passing. LoL
I'm still all for encouraging a poem only option one week!

Just curious: why wouldn't you be able to write a screenplay? It's actually pretty easy to do especially since there's free software out there that auto formats for you called Celtx. I highly recommend checking it out.
