Your Words on My Tongue

All of the exchange assignment and roulette prompt e-mails have been sent. If you haven't received something from the vbmods e-mail account, let me know as soon as possible. When you receive it, please take a quick look at the request and/or your prompts on the bingo card, and then get back to me to let me know you're good to go.

Details about formatting and coding will be e-mailed and posted to the comm in the next few weeks. Have fun and keep in touch; I'm more than happy to answer questions or help in any way.

Today's the day! It's an honor to present the 2010 fiction writers for the wordsontongue VigBean fic exchange. I will be e-mailing participant banners to everyone in the next few days; if you do not receive an e-mail from the vbmods gmail account in a week or so please let me know. Huge thanks to stormatdusk for her gorgeous graphics.

Hello again. I apologize for not checking in sooner; I hope you're doing well and have found your assignment(s) inspiring.

I know that things can come up unexpectedly for everyone, so if you find that your schedule is tight or if you believe you're going to have a hard time making the deadline (July 1 for drabbles/flash fics; July 24 for exchange fics) for any reason and anticipate needing an extension let me know so I can help work things out with you.

The first deadline for drabbles and flash fics is this Thursday, July 1. However, because writers could decide to write more than one piece for each number on the roulette wheel they chose, you do have until July 24 to turn everything in. Whatever is finished and ready to be posted now should be sent to vbmods@gmail.com by the end of the day on Thursday (but since I won't be doing the coding and formatting checks until I get up on Friday, if it's sent overnight during the eastern time zone that's perfectly fine too). Anything I receive after that time will be posted with the exchange fics later in July.

Please use the following header information when submitting your drabble or story (right click and "select all" in the box below to copy and paste into your document):

<b>Title:</b> <b>Author:</b> <b>Rating:</b> <b>Warnings:</b> (This is a required field but I'll be shading it out so people who want warnings can highlight it and see) <b>Beta:</b> <b>Request:</b> (for fics) <b>Prompt(s):</b> (for drabbles/ficlets) <b>Disclaimer:</b> <b>Summary:</b> (not required) <b>Author's Note:</b> (not required)

All stories must be sent as an attachment to vbmods@gmail.com as a Word or plain text document. If sending in Word, please copy and paste the document into Notepad first to strip out any coding, then copy and paste back into Word before saving.

If you're using any formatting in your document (bold, italics, centering, etc.), please use basic html codes. If you need help with your coding, please let me know; I'm more than happy to help. Please make sure to include your name as part of the file name so that I can keep all submissions organized.

Thanks again for participating. If you have any questions, let me know. :-)

First, I want to thank everyone for participating in this year's exchange and flash fiction roulette. It has been a lot of fun and I'm thinking the roulette needs to make a more regular appearance, maybe two or three times a year. There are so many creative people in this community, we might as well give them another place to showcase that talent.

It looks like we're going to have a small delay getting the exchange stories posted. Rather than have them up on Sunday, the stories will be posted on Monday. I know it's another 24 hours of waiting but I hope you think it'll be worth it. Once again the variety of stories is great, and some people really challenged themselves with subjects and genres they hadn't written before (and were very successful with it). So please hang out for one extra day and come back here Monday afternoon to see what gems have been produced this year.
