Sign ups are open

[zvi]

I have not updated the website, but I have updated the forms.

Sign up for I Saw Three Ships.

Also, we're going to try a little bonus feature: The Cookie Jar. Anyone can post one threesome prompt, and anyone can fulfill any prompt. Cookies are not limited to one thousand words or greater of fanfiction; any fanwork of any size is acceptable as a cookie. The Cookie Jar is going to be time-limited, to run concurrent with Three Ships, but it is otherwise free form. If you need an AO3 invite to participate, PM me your e-mail address, I have some to give away.

Please let me know if you have any questions, and I'm happy to see you back!

So I guess we're still using the website and not AO3 this year? The matchup system they have is a lot better now, and it doesn't eat comments like the website did.

Considering the up and down nature of the servers this September, I am not running a challenge in proximity to Yuletide on AO3, no.

Let us all hope that they will have a simply installable version of the archive software available next year, so I can run the archive software on my own site.

I am switching to a different comments service which is supposed to be more accessible for website comments. Hopefully that will also address the disappearing comments issue.

Okay, cool.

How long are signups open? Will they be running through October, like last year?

*starts looking for like-fandomed friends to play*

[zvi]

Yes, they will be running through at least October 29.

And, even if you miss signing up for the main challenge, Cookie Jar prompts can be left through December.

Care to do a promo post on fandom_on_dw? I'm about to add the relevant dates to the calendar for signups, etc.

[zvi]

Yes, I'm going to do the full promo blitz Sunday and Monday. I just have been out the past two days.

Just so you know, I'm making the same offer as I always do. If you have any requests where you're really having a lot of trouble matching up the fandoms with someone who can write them, just shoot me an e-mail. If I think there's any way possible I can write said fandom, I'll be glad to do so whether I signed up for it or not. I tried to limit my offered fandoms to ones I thought might possibly be requested, but I'm familiar with a ton more.

[zvi]

Thank you, I appreciate both parts of that offer.
