Goldenlake Triathlon: Guidelines
What
The Goldenlake Triathlon is a fanfiction challenge in which authors attempt to complete a triathlon of three fic events for their chosen character, with options of summer and/or winter events.
When
Triathlon starts: Monday, 4 July
Triathlon closes: Monday, 15 August
Where
The Events forum.
How
1. Claim a character.
2. Post your attempt in the masterlist.
3. Complete the event of your choice by posting in the events forum and updating the attempt sheet as you go.
4. Once you have completed your event set, post in the ‘Finish Line’ thread and get congratulated.
5. Start again at #1 or go and complete the set for the other season!
Rules
1. Fics must be compliant with the Goldenlake fanfiction rules, including being rating-appropriate and containing sufficient warnings.
2. Fics must be about the character the author has claimed, although you may stake multiple claims. We encourage you to only claim new characters once your series is complete.
3. The masterlist must be updated by you (with links) for each event once that event is completed.
4. We would encourage you not to mix and match prompts from the different seasons unless you are going to complete all of the prompt sets for the same series.

One fic from each set must be exactly 100 or 200 words, and one fic from each set must be over 500 words - it's up to you which ones!
