And the latest is:

We have 33 participants signed up and 6 precious and wonderful people have signed up strictly as pinch hitters. Thank you enormously for that!

I have added a few FAQs and clarified the drop out rule, if you want to check that out on the website. More exciting for some of you, I have posted a template for your challenge entries. Using the template is not obligatory, but if you want to use it, it saves me a little bit of energy.

In terms of what we have to look forward to in the challenge, a few notes from the sign ups:

Requests: Almost Famous, Gossip Girl, Dollhouse, Criminal Minds, Eureka, Heroes, Lord of The Rings, Psych, and Tamora Pierece's Tortall.

Offers: Axis Hetalia, Chuck, Fringe, Grey's Anatomy, House, Mentalist, Merlin, Popslash, SKy High, all the Star Treks, and Veronica Mars.

If you haven't mentioned 3_ships on your journal, or you haven't mentioned it recently, please do so. Sign ups close on Friday, so time is running out. Tell your friends, tell your enemies, and, most importantly, tell your fandoms so I have plenty of people to match you with!

OH!

I could so pinch hit for LOTR, too. I'm just sayin'.

[zvi]

Awesome!

[fangirlism]

Curiosity: are those request/offered lists just a sample? (Cause I know I requested as well as offered popslash - as well as requested/offered Reaper)

Edit: No need to edit the list, I was just curious.

[zvi]

Yes, they're a sample, not a complete list.

[fangirlism]

Ah, okay. :)

Edit: Also, is there any way to see our sign up? I'd like to include my requested story elements in my Dear Writer letter, but I'll be damned if I remember them, lol.

[zvi]

Er, your sign up was included in your confirmation e-mail. I will reforward.

[fangirlism]

No need. I found it.

So it is! I must have read that one on my BlackBerry and missed it.

I finally worked out that I could set my own earlier deadline to work to and still have more than six weeks to write. One would almost think me not the sharpest pencil in the case.

I've offered to pinch hit but due to being out of internet range between about 19 Dec (when you may expect my early submission) and about 29/30 December, I'll only be contactable for pinch-hitting between then and the reveal date. It possibly makes my offer a bit useless but I'm willing to give it a red hot go if you need it.

That's fine. Stories are due on the 29th (Midnight New York Time), so the vast majority of pinch hits won't be needed until then.

Thank you so much!

What do we do if we'd like to add a fandom to write in to our original sign-up? Do I need to fill out a new form, like I would if I wanted to add a new request?

Re: Adding White Collar

[zvi]

Just send me an e-mail to zvi at slashx-files dot com. Please don't do a new sign up.

[bessemerprocess]

I don't know if this is for everyone, but the sign up page is down for me (and down for everyone says it's down for everyone.) Just thought I'd give you a heads up!

[zvi]

Thanks for letting me know. However, if it's something pretty time sensitive, it's probably better to PM me than to comment on a 3 Ships post. I sometimes don't read those comments until I'm getting ready to work on 3 Ships.
