Considering we've got some interest, I'm going to propose some basic rules, let me know if they work for you.
1) A 'ficlet' is going to be anything from 100-10,000 words, with a little wiggle room. I'm not going for picky, but also please don't tag novels. 2) There's no pressure to submit every Friday, but submitting around once a month is encouraged. 3) Fanartists can submit works! My thought behind this is that any art tagged "Ficlet Friday" is art that an artist is actively requesting ficlets for; the equivalent of "here, use my art as a prompt if you like". There's no obligation to use the art as the prompt for your fic, but I'd very much like to encourage artists to create with our tag too. 4) Please tag your art as "Ficlet Friday: Fandom" and then "Ficlet Friday: Ship" - two tags, both under the "Ficlet Friday" header, but allowing people to search by what they prefer.
Questions: Does this still sound workable for everyone? Would we like to put together a group/community for ficlets, or leave it to the tag?
