b2mem | A couple of reminders (Reply)

Now that the community has been switched to open posting, here's a couple of reminders.

1. More than one participant can buy the same prompt. There is no limit to how many people are able to buy a prompt.

2. Participants selling prompts should keep in mind that our rules state that “prompt fills are not gifts; they are jumping-off points for fanworks. They may or may not conform to your personal likes and dislikes.”

One of the questions we are asked the most during B2MeM is whether a participant's particular idea for a fanwork meets the prompt well enough to "count." This year, as in years past, the decision belongs solely to you, the creator of the fanwork, to decide if your response adheres closely enough to the prompt to serve as a response to that prompt. Neither the B2MeM moderators nor the "seller" of the prompt will make this decision, and we have never and will never remove fanworks for not being "enough" of a response to the prompt. If there is a prompt you like, but feel that you cannot meet all the requirements of the prompt, you are welcome to leave a similar prompt with the elements you like.
