Sign-ups are open!

[pocketmouse]

Sign-up form is here.

Please note that the relationships in the dropdown are kind of funky for some subfandoms of megafandoms. For instance, I was checking out Hawkeye and Young Avengers, and even though they're not associated in the tagset, stuff that shouldn't be there is showing up in the dropdown (anything with Bobbi in Hawkeye, anything with Loki (AOA) in YA). I'm going to try and figure out what's going on and fix it, but I wanted to open signups anyway. If you select a relationship that is not in the tagset but is in the dropdown, I will ask you to edit it if I catch it. If a relationship is not showing up in the dropdown and should be, please let me know and I'll try and fix that as well.

In the morning.

FYI relationships not in the tagset won't go through if a person tries to request it. They'll get an error message.

Also if a relationship isn't showing up in the dropdown, it's an AO3 bug that you can't fix. The person just needs to copy/paste the tag exactly as it is in the tagset.

A friend of mine (who isn't participating, so I don't know if she's going to check) told me she nominated Barney Barton/Clint Barton/Kate Bishop for Marvel 616, but it's not in the tag set. Is that intentional? Just curious, cause I would like to request it. :)

These are relationships that were approved for other fandoms (in this case MCU), so they are in the tagset, but on the tagset page they don't show up under the fandom in question (Hawkeye). You mean even with that they'll still get an error message?

I think some of the ones that aren't showing up in the dropdown have lost their associations, even though they're in the tagset. And if that's the case I can fix it.

[pocketmouse]

It was in the tagset, but had no association - the form is supposed to tell me when things aren't associated, but it seems to have failed at that a lot. It's fixed now.

Thank you!!

Is there a way to participate without signing up, such as by writing treats?

[pocketmouse]

Sure! You can also sign up to pinch hit, and all requests are publicly visible on the AO3, so you can browse there as well. I'm not setting up a specific separate collection, though, as we tried that last year and it didn't work.

Since the signup summary doesn't currently appear to be working, could you please make a list of offered fandoms?

[pocketmouse]

It's probably an AO3 issue. Let me ask them about it first. And in the meantime all prompts are viewable, and you can sort by fandom.

It is an AO3 issues, and it hasn't shown for any collection for days. I'm worried about offers, not requests.

[pocketmouse]

Summary looks to be working right now, either support fixed it, or it's a server issue having to do with what time of day you're looking and how heavy the server load is (that's a guess on my part, as I haven't heard anything from support).

I'm sorry that I'm saying this only now. May I request to have the hours for ending of sign ups, works due, etc that are on the AO3 profile changed to a different hour of the day instead of 12 am? Many people don't use am-pm system and mix ups of 12 am and 12 pm are prone to happen, so I'd suggest to pick another easier to understand hour. I'll bet some people is planning to sign up tomorrow because of it, thinking they are in time they will find the signups closed instead, same will happen with the works due date. Again, I'm sorry to tell this so late, but at least I'm still in time? Thanks in advance.

[pocketmouse]

Sorry, that's the default, I wasn't even looking at that part since it's not automated. People have all day tomorrow, and I plan to post a 24-hour mark reminder.

Oh, that's good to know! :)
