The minimum requirement for our assignment is 1000 words of fic. Now, that, plus a little bit more, is a pretty great amount for me to offer. Unfortunately, on another similar fest, I landed myself with a more plot-driven prompt despite asking to receive quite the opposite (fluff pieces are my specialty) - so in the case that we get a prompt in which there is no way to complete the assignment in the 1000 word area, is there any way to anonymously contact the prompter, or... somehow make sure we at least have a beta to help get us through to the end?
I really do want to participate and gift (I don't even have to receive anything in return, frankly) but the problem is that I don't want to gift something BAD because the prompt was beyond my ability.
Should I just not sign up?
Sorry. I'm just really trying to figure out if there's a way to actually get a prompt I CAN fulfill properly.
