How do I submit my story?

Please submit your story in the predetermined HTML format shown here. Feel free to save the source and use it. All submissions must be sent in HTML format. If you are unable to code your own document, please arrange with someone else to do it for you before submitting. Uncoded documents will not be accepted.

Do I need to use a beta?

Absofuckinglutely. Unbetaed fic will be sent back and refused until it has been betaed properly. Stories that are badly-written, contain poor grammar and lack of punctuation will not be accepted. No excuses. Get a beta, or don't bother.

Can we combine challenges into one story?

Yes! Just let me know.

Can we submit previously-done stories or artwork?

I would prefer it if all fiction and artwork submitted to the FQF were original, i.e. not posted anywhere else before. This is a challenge designed to breathe new life into the pairing, so the more new stuff, the better

How long does a story have to be?

As long (or short) as you want. Sorry, no drabbles.

Is this all about the sex?

No. Smut/NC-17 content is not required for the Fuh-Q-Fest, despite the name. G, PG, PG-13 and R fiction is strongly encouraged as are all sorts of stories – angst!fic, WAFF, pre-slash... This challenge celebrates diversity and is not dependent on sexual content.

Do I have to make my story an answer to a challenge?

Uh, yeah. Otherwise, what is the point?

Can I pair Remus or Sirius with other people?

Only if there is/was also a Remus/Sirius relationship, and it is the focal point of the story.

What if someone has claimed the challenge I wanted?

If the challenge is not in red text, chances are it is still available for claim. Beyond that, please select a different challenge. We encourage writers to attempt something they would not do, otherwise, so think different.

If I am illustrating a story, what are the requirements? Can it be graphic, or do you have limits?

All fanart submissions should be in .jpeg or .jpg format and of a resolution of 72dpi. Any file over 1mb will be reduced, with great care taken to maintain the quality of the image. This is out of consideration for our friends on dialup who do not want to have to wait seventeen hours for a picture to download. You may submit in colour or grayscale, and we leave the content to your discretion. Extremely graphic images will bear a warning in the link, just to be on the safe side.

Can I link to your site? Do you have banners?

Yes! And yes, we do. You can find them here. Please download them and upload to your own server, and link them back to us. We appreciate your pimpage.
