Okay, so I kinda... sorta... MAYBE forgot about this. OTL
This is a day late, so I'm going to give Squads One and Two a day EXTRA to post their short stories.
If no one in a particular squad is participating in this, let me know and I will post my own story on your squad.
So, here are a few simple guidelines:
1) It was supposed to start yesterday with Squad One, and continue today with Squad Two, but, like I said. It's starting late, so both of you get an extra day. If it's still late, no biggie.
2) Originally, I wanted to have this done by the 24th because I know things will be closing down and people are going to be either leaving to go be with family or are going to be offline so they can spent time with their families. However, if you feel you're up to still posting on and/or after the 24th, go ahead. Or if you want to break off from it for the holidays and then start back up on the 26th or whatever, that's fine too.
3) Remember, it's one Squad per day, with Thirteenth ending on the 24th. Afterwards, I'll compile them all into one post and post it in the Writers' Circle for everyone to read it as a whole, completed project.
4) You must post the story in the Squad HQ world. (I have no better way to put that but hopefully it's self explanatory.)
5) You may collaborate with other members of your Squad. For example, Captain Koriyama may collaborate with Lt. Hisagi and Captain Hitsugaya may collaborate with any of his Squad's officers.... I guess that would include me, huh? -_-"
OR one person from the Squad may do it by themselves, if they do so wish.
6) Since Ulquiorra asked if the Espada/Las Noches characters may participate, you lot are to follow these same guidelines. Your time range will be either 10 to 13 days, depending on if there will be stories regarding Aizen, Gin and Tosen or not.
The story doesn't have to be long. Just don't make it super short. I.e. a few paragraphs that barely take up any space. Does a 3/4 page minimum sound fair?
Anyway, don't make this a chore for yourself. If you don't do Christmas-y stuff, do a comedy skit and throw in a few holiday themes. Have fun with it.
Oh! And one more perk: if you can, make the title (at least in part) say "The ____ Day of Christmas" with your Squad number as the day.
So that's about it. Have fun!
