Sign-Ups Now Open!

[theladyscribe]

Sign-ups are now open.

This is mentioned on the sign-up page, but as a reminder, your "requests" are the fandoms in which you qualify for matching. Your "offers" are the fandoms in which you want to remix someone else's works.

You must "request" at least one fandom and may request up to five. You must "offer" at least three fandoms and may offer up to ten.

If you are requesting/offering with more obscure fandoms, you may want to keep an eye on the Signup Summary Page, which shows how many requests and offers have been made in each fandom. You may also want to encourage your friends to either sign up for the challenge themselves or sign up as pinch-hitters, as lower requests and offers can make it harder for us to match you.

If your fandom has a community/group/etc., now is the time to tell them about the challenge!

Pinch-hit sign-ups are also open.

Pinch-hits will go out as-needed and will be assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis. All pinch-hitters will be expected to follow the remix rules (1000+ word remix about at least one female character). As with the regular assignments, pinch-hits are due on July 24. Pinch-hits which are sent out after July 22 will be due on July 29.

I have a question! Does "Avengers (Marvel Movies)" also cover the sub-movies even if they don't show up under the "Avengers" tag on AO3? That is, if I have qualifying fic in Captain America and Thor, but it's not tagged Avengers and therefore doesn't show up that way in my list of works, is it still considered a qualifying fandom for me?

[theladyscribe( as admin)]

Yes! "Avengers (Marvel Movies)" covers all of the following: Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Avengers, Ant-Man, and The Hulk (which I...always forget about because I've never seen the Hulk movies /o\). We're using that tag to make matching easier, but as long as you have qualifying stories tagged with any of those sub-fandoms, you're good, even if you've not used that specific tag.

Awesome, thank you! :D

I have another question! I wouldn't have thought of tagging them that way, but it looks like AO3 includes the Child Ballads under "Fairy Tales and Related Fandoms." Do stories for those traditional ballads count as fairy tales for this exchange?

Oh, and is there a rule about co-authored stories? I thought I remembered seeing that co-authored stories could not be remixed for this, but I can't find it in the rules. Thanks!

[theladyscribe( as admin)]

Correct, co-authored stories cannot be remixed. If you have stories that have accompanying art (and thus a second author listed), you can make note of those in your sign-up.

Yes, the Child Ballads would be included under Fairy Tales and Related Fandoms.

Okay, thanks.

Oh, awesome! Then I qualify for one more fandom than I thought I did.

I submitted for pinch hits twice because I snafu'd on my email; you can remove the aol address. Sorry. /o\
