SevMas Further Information Update

SORRY -- crossposting from DW to LJ hasn't been working lately. This post was meant to go up a few days ago.

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

The DW post is here if you want to see fandoms people have already mentioned~!

I HAVE NEVER PLAYED A FINAL FANTASY GAME IN MY LIFE, I CAN'T PARTICIPATE

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

JUST READ SOME CLOUD/SEPHIROTH, IT'S ALL BASICALLY CANON

[safety-caesars.livejournal.com]

I MIGHT HAVE HEARD OF THEM; WHICH IS THE ONE WITH THE BIG BOOBS?

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

BOTH.

That sounds really nice, but I am only comfortable writing FF7 stuff. Or asking for FF7 stuff. And even then, only original game canon.

So unless you want an EXTREME NICHE PERSON it is probably best I don't participate. :(

[muggy-mountain.livejournal.com]

I am also kind of an EXTREME NICHE PERSON. I would pretty much only ask for FFX.

But I would write FFVII, FFVIII or FFXII and would be willing to AIRQUOTE draw /AIRQUOTE anything else, pretty much.

[madisuzy.livejournal.com]

i would be writing for and prompting for final fantasy 7 and 8

[irish-ais.livejournal.com]

OH GOD, SEV, LET ME SURPRISE YOU: FF8, FF8, FF8.

(I don't really participate in ANY OTHER FANDOMS, my life is so sad.)

[deadcellredux.livejournal.com]

I HOPE I'M NOT TOO LATE TO THIS PARTY

I would most likely claim FF6 or FF7

I'd most likely ask for 6, 7, and 12
