Jut borrowing this comm to say that I am running a remix for Doctor Who and all of its many related fandoms that's starting soon. Anyone can sign up to have their fic remixed pretty much as long you've written something in any of the fandoms before. Anyone can then choose a fic to remix. It's not a gift exchange, so you can do either or both of those.

All the information is in the AO3 collection. There's also a Dreamwidth comm and a Tumblr.

Thank you to everyone who created, kudosed or commented on this exchange. There are so many great things in the collection.

Is there anything else you'd like to give feedback on to make this better next year? You don't have to have taken part to offer feedback.

Works are revealed

Happy Doctor Who Day! All the works have been revealed. There are 16 works in 5 fandoms.

You may want to change the date of your work to be today's date. That way it will be on the first page for the fandom - otherwise people looking at the fandom page might not see it if they've gone as far back as the date they last checked. To change the date, click on the Edit button. Halfway down the page will be an option to 'Set a different publication date'. Select the box and then change the date. It will let you change it to any date in the present or past, but not in the future.

Thank you to who created works, especially to the pinch hitters.

A feedback post will follow.

The deadline has passed and everyone has either posted a work or asked for an extension.

We still have one pinch hit outstanding: pinch hit 4.
paranoidangel: Pink Dalek (Pink Dalek)
[personal profile] paranoidangel
This would be a 48 hours until the deadline warning post. Except due to a few different things I won't be around to check at the deadline. So everyone gets a 13 hours (maybe more) extension. The new deadline is now when I get up and check on Sunday morning, which will be 8am UTC at the earliest.

In summary, you have until 8am UTC (maybe later, but don't count on it) on Sunday 17th November to post, ask for an extension, or default.

I've updated the deadline on the AO3 collection page, where you can see it in your timezone. And here is an updated countdown.

You can edit your work after you post it, but it should be complete and something you're happy for your recipient to see, in case anything happens between posting and reveals.

Assignments sent

Sunday, 6 October 2024 12:52 pm
paranoidangel: Pink Dalek (Pink Dalek)
[personal profile] paranoidangel
Assignments have gone out. There is one initial pinch hit, which I will put in another post.

If you have signed up you should have received an email with your assignment. If you haven't, then you can go to the collection and click on the "My Assignments" button. Or you can go to your AO3 account page, click on My Assignments, then go to Doctor Who and Related Fandoms Festivities Exchange 2024, which will be at the bottom above any pinch hits you've taken.

You can write/draw anything that your recipient requested, whether you offered it or not. You only need to write one character/relationship in the fandom they requested (but can include more if you want). If you find your assignment has nothing you offered it means something has gone wrong somewhere. Email me at tardisfestivities@gmail.com and I will fix it.

The collection is not yet open for posting. I will post here when it is.

Sign ups are closed. Assignments will go out later today (hopefully).
paranoidangel: Pink Dalek (Pink Dalek)
[personal profile] paranoidangel
I closed sign ups, then when I ran matching it kept finding someone with no one to create for and someone with no creator. But they were different people each time, so it is a solvable problem without anyone needing to add offers.

However, it means I need to look at it to work out (some of) the assignments by hand (at least a bit). But I am too tired to do it now. So I've opened sign ups until I get up in the morning (around 7am UTC, ie 12 hours after the sign up deadline), as it's not going to make the situation any worse if anyone signs up between now and then.

There's no need for anyone to worry: you will all have an assignment tomorrow, there's no need to adjust your sign up. There is someone you can all create for, it's just that the numbers aren't working quite right for AO3's matching script to do it all on its own.

[personal profile] paranoidangel
Sign ups close at 7pm UTC Saturday 5th October Here is a countdown

It's a good idea to check your offers against the requests and make sure there's at least one person you can write for. If there isn't anyone you can write for when sign ups close you'll need to update your offers or delete your sign up.

Sign ups are open! Go here to sign up.

They will be open until Saturday 5th October at 7pm UTC (that is the middle of day on Saturday in America).

More information is available in the AO3 collection profile and on the sign up form.

You can see everyone's requests in the Requests Summary or on the AO3 Auto App site (if it hasn't been scraped for a while you may need to press the 'Re-scrape' button).

You can see which fandoms have been requested and offered in the Signup Summary once there are five sign ups and it has been (re-)generated.

The tag set is here.

You must include at least 1 request and 1 offer (to a maximum of 10), with at last 1 character (to a maximum of 20) and select whether you want art and/or fic for each request and offer.

You can edit your sign up any time before sign ups close by going to the AO3 collection, clicking on the "My Sign-up" link and then the "Edit Sign-up" button.
paranoidangel: Pink Dalek (Pink Dalek)
[personal profile] paranoidangel
Nominations are now closed. You can see the tag set at https://archiveofourown.org/tag_sets/17014. We have 355 characters/relationships in 16 fandoms, with New Who narrowly edging out Classic Who with 96 characters/relationships to 86.

If there are any problems with it (eg typos, duplicates) then comment here. Also if you want to nominate but have missed the deadline, you can also comment here and I will add it, as long as it's before sign ups open.

Sign ups open on Saturday at 7pm UTC.
