Claiming prompts:
The mods will post a list of prompts, grouped by book. You will post a comment, claiming the prompts you want to write.
Writing:
You have six weeks to write your story. There is no minimum or maximum word count. Just remember that someone submitted the prompt because it’s a story they wanted to see, and try to adhere to the spirit of the prompt. Please also keep in mind whether the prompt is for the reboot universe or the original universe. If you’d like to write a story in the other universe, please wait until the fest is over and the prompts are thrown open to everyone.
Posting:
You may post the story to the community or post a link to the story hosted on your journal or website. If your story is long enough to require multiple entries, please post a link in the community instead of posting multiple entries to the community.
Questions:
I have forgotten some character names or details. Where can I look up that information if I don’t have access to my books?
Try Memory Alpha, the Star Trek wiki.
How do I post to Dreamwidth if I don’t have an account?
You can use OpenID. If you have a Livejournal account, you have an OpenID. Here is Dreamwidth’s guide to setting up an OpenID.
If you’re new to Dreamwidth, the FAQ is very useful.
Do I need to join the community to post?
No. The community is set up to allow non-members to post. Anonymous comments will be screened in order to restrict spam.
Can I submit prompts without promising to write? Can I claim a prompt even if I didn't submit?
Absolutely! Feel free to submit prompts or claim prompts as the spirit moves you.

Claiming prompts:
The mods will post a list of prompts, grouped by book. You will post a comment, claiming the prompts you want to write.
- A prompt can be claimed by multiple people, but we think it would be nice if authors made an effort to choose a prompt that hasn’t been claimed by several people.
- An author can claim more than one prompt, but we encourage you to limit yourself to two prompts.
