The pinch hit sign-up has radio buttons. Was that intentional?

XWA

Nooo! I fixed it. Thanks.

Looks like on the sign up form in order to get the '35 more fandoms' to show up, you have to click on one of the three showing. Then the others pop up and you can unclick the one you clicked.

[zvi]

Please report that to AO3 support, along with your operating system and browser and browser version.

You should be able to click on "X more fandoms to choose from" in order to open the additional fandoms.

[james]

Will do!

I told myself I was only going to sign up if my two primary fandoms were listed.

They are.

*deep breath*

*signs up*

This should be a very interesting challenge, and I'll get a fic based on one of my favorite fics. Thanks for running this. :)

You're welcome!!

What's the list of eligible fandoms? I know there's a poll but it's not clear which ones are in and which are out.

[zvi]

You can see the list of eligible fandoms on the signup form.

On the poll, I included every fandom that received four or more votes, plus the fandoms which at least two people named in the write-in question.

Plus the fandoms I named in the write-in question, less Supernatural.

I just signed up, but when I tried to offer to write for Harry Potter, it gave me an error: "The following fandom tags aren't canonical and can't be used: Harry Potter - Rowling"

I don't think I can do anything to fix this since it was a poll option, so I just unclicked that fandom and resubmitted. (Maybe the canonical name has changed since the poll was made or something?) But ftr, I would be willing to write in that fandom.

[zvi]

I updated the form to use the new tag. You should be able to edit your signup to include it now.

[melannen]

Yay, thanks!

Dear remixer letter

[igrockspock]

Other remixes I've participated in have stated very clearly that it's not a gift exchange and that our remixers can do whatever they like with our stories. Since this one comes with a dear remixer letter on the sign-up form, I'm wondering if it's okay to make some simple requests of our remixer. It's fine either way, but I wanted to double check before posting my letter.

Re: Dear remixer letter

[zvi]

No, it's not a gift and the remixer can do whatever they like. However, I've observed that people still like to include Dear Remixer letters, so I left a space for that. I will clarify for next year!

[igrockspock]

Do you have an idea when we will receive assignments? Just want to make sure I keep an eye on my inbox!

[zvi]

My fervent wish is that, magically, the archive software will detect a match for everyone and everyone will have a match and I can send out assignments Monday evening. I will definitely have them done by next Sunday.

[bell]

Hi. <3 I'll definitely have a fic finished by the deadline, but I was wondering, will we be able to edit our stories between October 10th and October 24th?

[zvi]

Yes, you can edit your fic as much as you want, that's one of the advantages to hosting on the AO3.
