I Saw Three Ships: A Threesomes Secret Santa

Share links to threesome and moresome things that have made you happy.

Please post your subject line in the format: Title. Fandom: Relationships, e.g. a slight apocalypse. Teen Wolf: Allison Argent/Scott McCall/Stiles Stilinsky/Derek Hale and then use the comment to explain a little bit about what makes you happy about it. You might also give any warnings, if that sort of thing is appropriate.

1) I have revealed the authors on the main site.

2) An author has requested to remain anonymous on the cookie jar, but didn't tell me which story is theirs. Will that author please e-mail me so I can reveal the authors of all of the other stories? (I can already see who wrote what as part of managing the collection, so you are not losing anonymity by e-mailing me directly, and we can get this all done a bit faster if I can reply to you.)

Thanks for participating! Challenge again in October. I will dead dog in about a week.

I'm sorry, I'm way behind where I wanted to be with this and I have some outside obligations today that are going to take a lot of time in themselves. I don't see how I can possibly get everything done in less than 16 hours.

I'm sorry everyone, I'll do my best to get this out while it is still Three Kings Day.

This is the checkin poll. You can vote in this poll or you can reply to the e-mail I sent.

I know I said that we would be doing WordPress for this year's story. That turns out to be a lie.

Please send me your story in an e-mail to sesa@zvilikestv.net. In the body of the e-mail, you should put the following info:

To: From: Fandom: Threesome: Title: Requested Element: Warning: Notes: Summary:

To is your recipient, from is you, Fandom/Threesome/Title are standard.

The requested element is in your assignment e-mail; it's what your recipient asked for in addition to the fandom, threesome, and moresome.

Warnings are mandatory, use one of the AO3 options

• AUTHOR CHOSE NOT TO USE STANDARDIZED WARNINGS
• NO STANDARDIZED WARNINGS APPLY
• GRAPHIC DEPICTIONS OF VIOLENCE
• MAJOR CHARACTER DEATH
• RAPE/NON-CON
• UNDERAGE

Notes and Summary are optional

Please attach your story as a plain text or RTF file to your e-mail. DO NOT SEND WORD DOCUMENTS. If you don't know how to attach your story, you can paste the text below the headers in the body of the e-mail.

Sorry my idea for world conquering software genius did not come to fruition this year, but maybe next time.

Assignments have not yet gone out, but the challenge is still ongoing. My apologies for the delay and for not publicly announcing the delay.

Barring additional unforeseen circumstances, they will go out Saturday evening.

I will send the information both to the writer and the requestor, so that you can write your Dear Sailor letters.

I Saw Three Ships Signup is open. <eta>fixed URL</eta>

I have updated information on the website, but not the color scheme, because…I am hoping to move to WordPress, so you guys can upload your stories yourselves. However, I won't switch to WordPress until after assignments are out, to avoid confusion.

In addition, I am really busy offline this year, and I am not able to do the heavy promotion that I have done in past years. If you guys want to see lots of people from lots of fandoms participate, I really need you to promote the fest to other people. I am only going to be able to post to multi-fandom comms. If you want people to participate in your particular fandom, please promote the fest in your fandom-specific comms or try to get it listed with your fandom specific newsletters.

( Relevant Dates )

All stories are in, and ALL STORIES ARE IN!

People who couldn't finish on time defaulted early and the pinch hitters swung into action, and everyone who turned in a story on time has a story!

This is so awesome, you guys, you don't even know.

I'll be sending out links for people to review if their story is right the afternoon of the second, so if you sent me a draft that needed some revisions, please try to get me the revisions by the morning of the second.

When I sent you your list of requested fandoms, any moresome request that you made for Request 2 was listed as your moresome request for Request 1.

This mixup only occurred on your notice of requested fandoms. Your writer was given the correct list of moresomes for Requests 1, 2, 3, and 4.

If you would like me to send you your actual Request 1 moresome, please comment to this post (comments are visible), but otherwise, assume your writer got what you originally requested.

Also, only one writer has written to tell me that they did not get their original assignment, so everyone else has their assignment? Yes, yes?

Also, also — I got a note from a writer that their giftee's requested story element took the story in an AU direction they could not wrap their head around (and this was definitely and clearly something that had never happened on the show and would have changed the whole thing if it had happened; seriously, seriously AU, not just a differing interpretation on whether the protagonist of the series is Really Nifty or a Complete Dick.) You should include the requested story element, if you can, and please give it a serious try, but if it's impossible for you to write, then don't write that. Check out their journal or their Dear Sailor letter and write them something else that you think they will like. You must write the three characters in their threesome, but if you can't write their requested story element, you can still fulfill the terms of the exchange.

The assignment e-mails have been sent to all story exchange participants.

If you don't get your assignment, first, check your spam filter! Then, comment to this entry ON DREAMWIDTH to let me know you didn't get your assignment, the name you signed up with, and a second e-mail address I should send your assignment to.

If you get your assignment and you don't recognize the assignment as matching anything you offered to write, reply to the assignment e-mail ASAP and let me know that I matched you wrong and you need another assignment.

And, also, most importantly, have fun writing the story!

I have sent a confirmation to everyone who has signed up to I Saw Three Ships through 1:26 p.m. EST on October 18.

Pinchhitters and story participants all got the same e-mail, so don't be alarmed if you only signed up to pinch hit and the e-mail mentions assignments.

If you haven't gotten a confirmation e-mail from me, comment here, PM me, or send an e-mail to sesa at zvi likes tv dot net.
