Question: I am considering a large multi-chapter monster of a fic. The thing is, it would be *quite* problematic to read, I suppose- the long scrolling down process and all. How should I format it?
(Hint: monster = 10-15, or even 20 chapters. Yes, I am an extremist >.< )

Probably just break it up into chapters on one thread, but do a couple of chapters per post. That's how the other multi chapters have been done on here And omg, can't wait to read that.

Quick question: Does "pairing" refer solely to a romantic connection, or can you have a "peculiar pairing" of two characters becoming friends who you might not expect to find together? Specifically, I have a fic about a younger Thayet and younger Ilane meeting and developing a friendship around the time of the conclusion of LK, but there is no romance involved and I'm not sure that actually counts as being peculiar- I was wondering where I should post it, in the Tortall fanfic thread or the Peculiar Pairings thread. Thanks!

We prefer to encourage fics that do have a romantic connection or are 'shippy' for the PPF. That said, we will allow non-shippy fic to be entered if it is a peculiar pairing.
