Reminder—FGC How to Guides
This is our first week without the Form & Genre Challenge; I hope everyone is enjoying the short break and taking the time to catch up. With a few rounds of judging still to complete, I know I appreciate the chance!
Next week I’m hoping to be able to announce the new schedule for FGC2012, but now is an ideal opportunity to remind everyone that we’re still looking for form and genre experts to write short, quick and dirty guides for those unfamiliar with the challenge forms and genres.
The forms and genres we need articles for are listed below. If you want to claim one of them, then email me at writeanything [at] emergent-publishing [dot] com telling me which form/genre you’d like to write about, and a little background on your experience with that form/genre.
Forms and genres are listed in chronological order. As people claim them they will be crossed off the list. Once the challenge is live they will be removed completely from the list.
