Sign-ups post

[camelotremix]

Welcome to the camelotremix/camelotremix sign-up post! (Eeee!)

Important Dates
Sign-ups start right now and close on August 21; assignments will go out few days later.

Remixes are due on October 9 and must be at least 1000 words long. The archive will open on October 16 or as soon as we have one remix for everybody.

Eligibility
To sign up as a regular participant you must have written at least five stories of at least 500 words of Merlin FPF (fictional person fic) and/or Merlin RPF (real person fic).

You can specify one fic as a "safe story" that you don't want to be remixed, but this will not count towards your five qualifying stories.

Pinch hitting
If you don't have the qualifying fics you can still sign up as a pinch hitter. If you want to do this, just write "pinch hitter" in the subject line and give us your name, e-mail address, and preference for RPF or FPF.

Offering to pinch-hit does not obligate you to write an extra story, it just puts you on our list of people to ask if someone drops out.

Other stuff
The full rules and more information about remixing can be found at the Frequently Asked Questions and What's a remix? posts. If you have any questions please comment there or email the mods at camelotremix at gmail dot com.

To sign up, copy and paste the following form and comment to this post with it. You can sign up on either livejournal or dreamwidth; there's no need to sign up on both. When you link to your fic, please use a plain url (example: http://archiveofourown.org/users/sophinisba/works) rather than a formatted link (bad example: sophinisba's fic); this will make it easier for us to copy and paste the links into assignment e-mails.

<b>Name:</b> <b>E-mail:</b> <b>AO3 account (if you have one):</b> <b>Link to your fic:</b> <b>Safe story (optional):</b> <b>Do you qualify with fpf, rpf, or both?</b> <b>Do you want to write fpf, rpf, or either one?</b> <b>Want to be on the pinch hit list?</b>

ETA August 22: Sign-ups for regular participants are now closed and assignments will go out soon. Feel free to sign up for the pinch hit list even if you're coming in late.

I would also say that I knew an author who put invisible hit counters on her LJ-posted stories to get an idea of her hits to comments ratio, and it was about 75-80:1, iirc. I may be a little off, but that was the ballpark.

Considering that that's about the # of my mutual friends, I should be resigned to low comment count huh? X-D
(To be fair around half of them don't read Merlin)

I suspected this on the back of my mind, but it's a bit discouraging to see proof of it myself. I'd rather have a bright/optimistic view of the world, see ^^;;

I am an optimist, sweetie! I optimistically believe that all those people who read my story enjoyed it. ^_^

You're sweet =)

From time to time I search myself on delicious and find people do bookmark my stories. I wouldn't have known they enjoy my stories otherwise!

Re: camelotremix sign-up

I think most people have done that at some point. I've just discovered that I really prefer writing for just one person, because I know what they like and I know that if they enjoy it, that's all I really need. The rest becomes gravy for me. (It took me a while to come to this realization, so I'm not like a Zen Master or anything.)

Re: camelotremix sign-up

I'm def. less Zen than you, and I (usually) first & foremost write for myself (although I can be persuaded to like a fic I feel meh about when others like it).

Addding you! =D (on both LJ & DW because I like it that way).
