1.

The fest starts at the beginning of November and will last two months. The exact beginning and ending dates will be announced as soon as they are available.

   
   
2.

When you decide to take part in the Harry/Weasley FQF please join the H/W FQF Yahoo!Group. This list is only for writers and if you join you will have to take up a challenge.

   
   
3.

If you do not want to join but still want to be informed about any updates to the H/W FQF you can join a mailing list. For more information go to our Contact page.

   
   
4.

After you joined, you have to request a challenge at the group which will be sent to you within the day though there is, of course, always the possibility of a delay.

   
   
5.

You may choose your own challenge but this option is tied to a special set of rules. If you do this you have to choose at least three challenges from the list to combine in one big story which has to be at least 5000 words long.

   
   
6. All other stories have to be at least 1500 words long. Shorter stories and Drabbles will be accepted, but only if the author has already submitted at least one story as covered in rules 3 and 4.
   
   
7. All stories must be complete and beta read before they are submitted. If you do not have a beta reader take a look at the link page where you can find links to sites where betas can be found.
   
   
8. The header of every story you send to us has to include your name, your email, the challenge(s) the story responds to, the appropriate warnings (rape, BDSM, angst, etc.) and the rating.
   
   
9. You are not allowed to post the stories anywhere else but the H/W FQF until the wave ends. Afterwards you may do with it as you wish. But if you decide to post it anywhere else we ask you to include following in the header: a link to the H/W FQF's main page (http://de.geocities.com/hpwslash/) and the challenge(s) you were responding to.
   
   
10. Once your story is finished and beta read please submit it either in .txt or .doc format to [email protected]. It will then be archived at the H/W FQF page.
   
   
11. By submitting your fic, you agree that the fic will be posted to the H/W FQF Archive for as long as the archive exists.
   
   
12. The main pairing of your story must be Harry/Male Weasley, however you may have other side pairings as long as they remain just that, SIDE pairings. The characters also have to be over sixteen. Which means that all stories have to be after Harry's sixth year. They may be AU though, disregarding or completely ignoring the happenings in one or all books.
   
   
13. If you feel that you are unable to write a story with he challenge assigned to you, you may swap with another group member (just post an inquiry at the Yahoo!Group) or ask for a new challenge at the group *once*.
   
   
14.

If you have any questions send a mail to [email protected] with FQF Question in the subject line.
