Validation:
You will receive a confirmation email that your story was received. Please allow 48 hours for your story to be posted onto our FF profile. Once your story is posted, you’ll receive another confirmation email. PLEASE do not immediately post to your Twitter “MY story was just accepted into DIRTY TALKING JASPER” as that will give away which story is yours and you will be disqualified immediately.
If we find evidence of you hinting as to which story is yours in a play to get votes via FB, Twitter, Email, FF, Twilighted or any other method we reserve the right to disqualify your story. If we suspect votes are being unreasonably stacked in your favor (i.e. 10 votes come in for one story within a 90 second period) we have the right to disqualify those votes.
Any story that doesn't meet the above criteria will be disqualified upon validation.
About the Judged Scoring:
All stories are posted anonymously - most of our judging panel (with the exception of the 2 administrators) will not know who the authors are. Voting is done by blind ballot. Ballots are tallied by each administration separately and compared.
Disclaimer:
Out of necessity, we may change these rules, guidelines, parameters, judges, or dates at any time. Please be sure to check this profile regularly for the most up-to-date rules and regulations.
