Guys! It’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for! It’s time to buckle down and start working on your stories/fic/art/podfics/meta/yarnworks for C6D Ladies Day! Go live will be on 22 March.

This is an informal fest dedicated to celebrating all the wonderful canon ladies in our various C6D fandoms, from Francesca Vecchio to Jane Taylor to Zoë Johansson to Martha Burns. You can find a general list of eligible fandoms HERE (if you don’t see your fandom on the list and aren’t sure if it’s eligible, comment here or email me. I want this to be as inclusive as possible, so chances are it’ll count).

Fest entries can be in any medium—if you make it, it’s eligible. Entries can be any rating, from General Audiences to Explicit, and can be gen, het, or femme-slash. M/F/M OT3s (eg. Fraser/RayK/Elaine) are allowed, but remember that the focus of this fest is on canon female characters.

To that end, genderbending or genderqueering is not allowed, UNLESS the focus remains on a canon female identified character. So always-a-girl!RayK/Fraser would not be eligible, but always-a-girl!Fraser/Victoria would be, as long as Victoria was the primary focus of the story.

HERE is the link to the C6D Ladies Day collection on the AO3. To post your work, all you have to do is click the Post to Collection button and then fill out the form. If you need an AO3 invite or any help with the posting format, let me know!

Stories will remain unrevealed until the go live on March 22. When that happens, I’ll post an announcement here with a link to the collection.

All right! Everybody go forth and make lots of awesome lady-centric fanworks! If you have any questions, feel free to comment here or email me at seascribe at gmail.

Awesome banner is awesome! And yay for C6D Ladies Day!

Almost-too-late question...

When is the deadline for posting? I'd been thinking "post on or before the 22nd" but it just occurred to me that if go-live is the 22nd, maybe the posting deadline is "on or *before* the 22nd"?

The collection will open and the authors' names will be revealed on their work sometime the afternoon of the 22nd (EST) and I'll make a post to the communities, but you can post to the collection any time that day. Since this isn't an exchange or formal fest, the rules are pretty lax.

OK, keen. Not sure if I'll manage to finish my fic before the end of the day on the 22nd or not, but I've got some writing time that afternoon (it definitely ain't happening before then!)...

Thanks!
