CLFF Participation Information

Rules for CLFF Participants

updated February 12, 2012

• All work must be main pairing Clex or pre-Clex. Clex gen friendship is also okay as long as they're not in a pairing with somebody else.
  - If you have a secondary pairing, please note that in the headers. (Especially if the other pairing is heterosexual.)
  - If you have Clark or Lex in another relationship besides Clex, you must warn for that, even if it ends in Clex. (Seriously, we've had some real issues before - people are here to read the Clex and it's very disconcerting to expect a Clex story and it starts with sex with somebody else. o.o)
  
• Waves will be posted approximately every six to eight weeks depending on our schedule. When one Wave ends, a new one begins.
  - Your entry (story or art or other) must be posted to the Dreamwidth community or to the yahoo CLFFgroup during the duration of the challenge.
  - The challenge will be formally closed by the MOD at the end of the challenge period; you can keep posting until you see that formal closing message. After that message, no more stories for that challenge will be accepted (except during 'amnesty' challenges). A new challenge will be posted shortly thereafter.
  - At the time of submission, you are also free to crosspost your story to your own LJ, webpage, archive, or anywhere else.
  
• Submissions include: (if not listed, please ask) (honestly, we'll take anything ^^)
  :: Written Story, Music Video, Recs Set, Icons, Fannish Essay/Meta, Picspam, Art, Manip, Layout, Music Mix, Podfics ::
  - Please put all work under an LJ-cut
  - All work must be new. It can be part of a series, as long as the series is Clex or pre-Clex and you link back to the rest of the series.
  - You submit as many times as you like for any Wave.
  
• All Waves come with a set of prompts. The prompts are there for inspiration and open to 'claiming'. If you would like a prompt, please let the mod know in the wave post. More than one person can have a prompt, and if you have an idea that isn't included, feel free to use that as well.
  
  All prompts are open to interpretation, in whatever manner you'd like to fulfil the prompt. If you have a question, or need some help thinking of possibilities, please contact us and we'll be happy to toss ideas around.
  
• You are required to warn for rape/non-con (even past mentions), dub-con, incest, character death/suicide, graphic self-harm, any type of sexual trauma, any type of child/domestic abuse, underage sex, and any other triggering themes or images. The other warnings are left to your discretion, though we encourage you to warn as fully as possible. When in doubt, please err on the side of caution.
  
• All authors/artists have the following archiving choices for each piece posted:
  Full archiving - Your complete work is archived on the site. The most preferable choice.
  Blurb only - Only headers, notes and a blurb will be archived on site and there will be a link to the story.
  No archiving - Posting/linking fic in comm only. You will be added in comm's memories, but not to the site.
  
• Post entries with the following header information:
  - Title:
  - Author/Artist:
  - Wave/prompts:
  - Type: (i.e. fic, art, vid... - include word count/length/size)
  - Rating:
  - Warnings:
  - Archive: (full, blurb, no)
  - Summary:
  - Notes:
  
• Go forth and have fun with the Clexing! ^_^
