Continuing sign up progress

[zvi]

There are 28 participants so far, not including yours truly. (The two people with unsigned registrations got in contact with me and will be participating! Yay!) We've also got three or four people signed up just to pinch hit.

Fandoms offered include Vorkosigan Saga, Top Gear RPF, Smallville, Numb3rs, Pirates of The Caribbean, Pushing Daisies, Lost, The Middleman, Being Human, The Big Bang Theory, and Chuck. Fandoms requested include Dollhouse, Chuck, Babylon 5, Popslash, Heroes, Gossip Girl, Spooks, Sarah Jane Adventures, NCIS, and Veronica Mars.

I requested announcements at several LJ newsletters, but I'm not sure what newsletter comms are at Dreamwidth. If you read a newsletter for which you think I Saw Three Ships would be appropriate, please either ask the editors to place an announcement, or send me a PM telling me the name of the comm, and I'll gladly make the request. Don't forget, mention Three Ships in your own journals. Signups close on October 30. I would really like us to have 40 participants signed up.

And, finally, just a thought. The minimum word count for this exchange is 1000 words, but there is no maximum. You might want to try making your entry into a novel and writing the first draft for National Novel Writing Month. Even if you don't reach 50,000 words, a good faith effort at NaNo should easily leave you with enough material to convert into two or three excellent short stories, and you only need one. If you're worried that getting your assignment on November 1 won't leave you with enough time to plot out a story, consider using Holly Lisle's Notecarding Method for fast plotting.

Next status update will be next week. Looking forward to sending out assignments and reading everybody's Dear Santa letters.

I sent a message to a moderator of fandom_of_one (Being Human and Leverage are on their list), merlinthreesome, chucknews, middlefan, soniclipstick (SJA) and universe_today (Bab 5) with links to this comm and the sign up page.

Update: soniclipstick will include in next n/l and I have posted to middlefen.

I will award myself a chocolate! I've posted to merlinthreesome and fandom of one mod will include a mention next weekly post. The merlinthreesome's mod has posted on her LJ, too! She writes Arthur/Gwen/Lancelot so to my mind she is nigh perfect.

universe_today has included it in their last post.

I can write SJA. Do I have to redo my whole signup, or can I just tell you that?

[zvi]

I've got if from here. Thanks for letting me know!

No problem--it's always hard to know what to offer without already knowing what everybody else will request, but Sarah Jane Adventures definitely falls in the "I can write category." (Although I'm sort of scared to find out what they requested if I get assigned it!)

*mwahahahahaha!* You may see come November 1.
