Welcome
Welcome to ae_ldws! This community is dedicated to drabble contests featuring the characters of Arthur and Eames from the movie Inception.

Disclaimer: Any and all content within is based on characters and situations created and owned by the Christopher Nolan and Warner Bros. No money is being made and no copyright or trademark infringement is intended.
Rules
* Each Round will have 16 players (if demand is high enough, we'll raise this number to 20). Players will be selected on a first come-first served basis in reply to a sign-up post. Players MUST BE at least 18 years old to participate - we will be checking - so please have either your birthyear or a statement that you are 18 or over in your LJ profile.

* All drabbles will revolve around the relationship of Arthur and Eames. The relationship can be slash, preslash, or gen. If any participant chooses to write a gen fic, please do not have either man paired with someone else - this is an A/E community and should be left as such.

* Each week during the contest, the mods will post one or two prompts, or possibly a photo prompt. If there are two prompts (such as "genre/cliche" plus a word prompt) BOTH must be used in the drabble.

For a photo prompt the drabble must contain something represented by the photo.
For a quote prompt, the quote itself must be in the drabble in it's entirety.

Please email the mods with questions.

* Each contestant will submit one drabble of the required length by the due date. For this contest, the word count will often be a maximum of 300 words, but on select weeks, the mods will announce that a specific word count must be adhered to. This word count might be any count from exactly 100 to exactly 500. Each week, the word count will be revealed along with the prompts. The mods will be checking the participant's drabbles with this word count programme.

* Drabbles must be submitted with all HTML coding and a standardized header, which will be furnished to each participant. Please warn for any kinks.

* All submissions will be emailed directly to aeldwsmod at aelastwriter@gmail.com.

* Drabbles will be posted by the mods and will remain anonymous until after voting. To ensure fairness, authors must not disclose which drabble is theirs until after the weekly reveals. After the reveals, they are welcome to post their drabble to their journal, or any community of their choosing. Participants may use only one Beta reader, but that reader must also maintain secrecy until after reveals each week.

* Readers will vote for one favorite drabble (+1 point) and one least favorite drabble (-1 point). Voting will be screened. Each week the drabble(s) with the least amount of points will be eliminated (see below for elimination schedule).

Tie-breaker:

Most Favorite: If two or more drabbles receive the same amount of points, the drabble with the most votes for favorite wins.

Least Favorite: If two or more drabbles receive the same amount of points, the drabble with the least votes for favorite loses.

* One vote per person for most and least favorite. No anonymous voting. All participants are encouraged to vote, but must vote for a drabble other than their own.

* For the first six weeks, the two authors who receive the lowest scores will be eliminated. For the remainder of the round, the single contestant with the lowest score will be eliminated until there is a winner.

* Grounds for disqualification: Any author not adhering to the word count or prompt use requirements are subject to immediate expulsion from the competition. (secret word: paisley)Also, if it is proven that an author broke secrecy about which is their drabble, or used more than one beta, they will be disqualified. In such a case, if two participants would have been scheduled to be dismissed that week, only one will. If one participant had been scheduled to be eliminated that week, that elimination schedule will still be adhered to.

* Each round will last approximately nine weeks, so participants should be sure they will be able to commit to that time frame before they sign up.

* There will be no passes. If a contestant cannot submit a drabble for any given week, they will be eliminated.

* Anyone who signs up and doesn’t submit a drabble, is late constantly, or is disqualified will be banned from competing for one round.
