Info on Yuletide nominations got me thinking about three ships, so i swung by this way.
Some thoughts/suggestions/observances:
~ I really hope you'll host the fest on AO3 this year. While I appreciate wanting to uphold the tradition of keeping it on your website, I find it frustrating from a user perspective. I often go back and see typos and things that just didn't catch my beta or my eye before sending it to, and if it were on AO3, I could go in and fix that their/there/they're or lose/loose mistake a month later without having to bug you about it.
~Commenting on your website has always been a pain. I'm never notified when I receive ac comment, even when I sign up to have the comments sent to me. Likewise, I never receive answers to my comments. Even making comments has been a real pain due to the system you are using. None of these concerns are present in the AO3 comment system.
~ Additionally, I find the color combination of your website and the font used difficult from an accessibility standpoint.
Other thoughts:
I would really, really not want to open this up to more than OT3. I gladly sign up to write Star Trek XI now, but having to write all crew members in some type of relationship together? No way. I can't juggle that many people in a relationship.
I definitely think the unpicked prompts being available to write - something like Yuletide Treats? - would be fun!
Anyway, I can't wait for 3ships this year and I def hope it is happening again.
Dead Dog Thoughts :)
