What happens if all the artists give slash prompts? I can't see that there are any pairings listed in the artist sign up post and I'm still umming and ahhing about whether to sign up as an author.
I only write Rodney centric gen or het whumping, so if all the artists turn in slashy, non-Rodney pictures I'd have to drop out at that point :( (I know, I'm narrow minded!)
If there are more authors than artists, would you allow more than one fic per pic? Or vice versa?
Also, I don't have a dreamwidth account, although I've subscribed to the comm via LJ openID. Will I still be able to see the members only post?
Each preview picture in the claims post will also have a list of characters and a short summary, so that will hopefully give you a pretty good idea of what you're claiming. I can't guarantee that there will be gen or het art, but even if the picture is slightly slashy, like if it's only implied John/Rodney, you could write it a completely platonic gen-fic to go with it.
I'll be pretty flexible as to how the art and the fic go together, as long as 1) the fic includes all the characters in the artwork and 2) if the art portrays a scene, you have to include that as well. Ultimately it will be up to you and the artist you claim to work out how intertwined the art and fic will be.
So I guess the best way to make sure you claim an art piece that you like would be just to get to the claims post early. I'm sorry, I guess that's not much help :(
At the rate sign-ups are going, it's definitely looking like we'll have more authors than artists, so I'm probably going to do two fics per art.
If you do decide to participate, you can request to join the community with your OpenID account, so that shouldn't be a problem. One problem I can think of, though, is that the members-only posts probably won't show up on your LJ friends-page if you've subscribed to the RSS feed. But I'll be sure to send out emails about all the important stuff, so that shouldn't be a big issue.
I realize that it's not an ideal situation for LJ-only users, but I don't want anyone to feel left out, so I'll do my best to work around any problems the OpenID issue might cause.

Sorry I'm full of questions...

I'll keep thinking about it, there's plenty of time for author signups \o/
