This entry is ONLY for people who would want to participate in a really tiny, really unofficial exchange designed only to let me test code because I'm a curious nerd.

HI GUYS! I really just want to know what fandoms people would ask for and what fandoms people would want to create for! For right now I am going to say Final Fantasy only JUST because I think there's the biggest overlap there. If this works, I'm all for doing a second test (as I'm sure I'm going to need to tweak the code) with more fandoms, it's cool.

This is a claim-a-thon, or a claim-it-forward, type of matchup, which means there will be a list of prompts and YOU pick the things you want to volunteer to write or draw. That does, however, mean a lot of this is dependent on the prompts. So I just want to gather a general fandom list to see if there's enough overlap for it to run.

Here's an abridged version of how it would work:

1. You would, privately, email me with three prompts. (Prompts would probably need to fit art or fic, although if you really wanted one over the other you could specify, since this is an opt-in claim-a-thon.) Because it's a claim-a-thon feel free to be as dirty or as clean as you'd like -- people will only claim your prompt if they're into it.


2. I compile a post with all of the prompts, identified only by numbers.


3. You read the post of prompts, and in a SCREENED AND SECRET comment, you leave me the numbers of the three prompts you's most like to fill. So you are opting IN to the prompts. Your comment would just say, you know, "3, 15, 22!" and that means you're okay with filling any of those three.


4. I plug everyone's choices into my MAGICAL CODE, and (HOPEFULLY) it spits out the best possible match for everyone. The code is entirely dependent on what people choose, however, so there's a chance that someone will have none of their prompts picked. (It wouldn't mean your prompts suck - it would probably just be fandom/character overlap type stuff. If this has the chance of bothering you, then don't participate in the trial round, because I have no idea how likely it actually is.) If that's the case, I will fill a prompt for that person, or I will hail a friend to do so.


5. Because this is a free-for-all super-low-key exchange thing, you get your assignment and post your fill anywhere your recipient can read it (I think we probably all have AO3 at this point? I will totally make a terribly named collection) and bam, there we go. SevMas!

So yeah: just leave a comment with what fandoms you'd be most likely to ask for, and what fandoms you'd be looking to claim. :D

Final Fantasy VII and VIII are a definite yes for me, both on the prompting and claiming sides. ^^ I might be open to some FF:CC: My life as King/Darklord prompts if any make it in, but I'm well aware that it is a super tiny fandom and not at all likely.

Basically, you could also put me down to FF:CC:MLaK/DL unless it might somehow mess with your test.

(And no, it won't bother me if I prompt and no one picks mine. Hee. I have that luck in a lot of exchanges. Rare!pairs, why must I love you so?)

[stealth_noodle]

I'll definitely grab for IV and VI, probably for X and XII, possibly for VIII, and if anyone prompts for I, it will be mine all mine.

My asking will probably fall along the same lines.

[crankyoldman]

The usual suspects: FFIV, FFVII, FFVIII, FFX.

[novel_machinist]

I can do all of the final fantasies and I'd love to help you!

[thene]

I'd really like to participate but my time/energy resources are low - what kind of fic length are you going for here? I would try a prompt for pretty well any Final Fantasy but my writing enthusiasm is mostly pointed at III, IV, VIII, IX and XIII. Especially XIII atm.

[seventhe]

I'm not going to have any requirements -- basically, whatever length you feel makes a decent enough fic. This is a low-stress exchange!

Since you'll get to pick the prompts you want to be assigned from, you can also pick prompts that skew towards shorter things, rather than epics *g* However, if you're too busy, please don't feel like you HAVE to sign up -- I should have enough heads to do a test run and you can play the second time through if it works!

[flecksofpoppy]

I'd give it a shot. ^_^;;

I'd be prompting for: VI, VII (any part of the Compilation), XII

I'd be down to claim any of the following: IV, VI, VII (or pretty much ANYTHING in the Compilation), XII.

[wallwalker]

D'oh, almost forgot to reply to this!

Most likely to ask for: FFIV, FFVII (OGC/AC,) FFXIII
Most likely to claim: FFIV, FFVI, FFVIII, FFIX

[lassarina]

Would write nearly anything, with strong pref for 4, 6, 12/T, and 13 but if a prompt grabs me I can handle anything but XI/XIV or Revenant Wings and some of the Complication.

Would ask for: 8, 9, 12/T, 13.
