Sign-ups

[galerian-ash.livejournal.com]

So you want to be the first, huh? Way to go! All you have to do is reply to this post — and then do some actual writing, of course. If you already know what fandom you'll be writing for, do tell :)

After you've signed up, feel free to do some pimping over on the promo post.

Possibly in, because (as a mainly small fandom writer) I think this is a genius idea.

I have half a piece written for the smallest fandom in the universe - Under the Hill, an unfinished work by Aubrey Beardsley.

[daria234.livejournal.com]

I plan to write for Blunt Talk, but there is a slight chance I might do Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk or another fandom.

[merryghoul]

I'm in! I want to do either Chasing Shadows (the ITV series from 2014) or Heather's American Medicine (a webseries on YouTube).

[autumnatmidnite.livejournal.com]

I'm going to take obscurity to a new level and sign up to write for the Dr Thorndyke series by R. Austin Freeman.

[withinadream27.livejournal.com]

I'm so excited for this challenge! I'll be writing for A Lily Among Thorns, by Rose Lerner.

[thedevilchicken.livejournal.com]

This challenge is just about the best thing ever, so you know!

Signing up with Bloodsport fic (the JCVD movie only, not the sequel), and potentially also Assassins (the Stallone-Banderas movie), but I'll see how that goes.

[galerian-ash.livejournal.com]

Yay, I'm really happy you think so ♥

You already know that I'm excited about Bloodsport, but Assassins as well?! Oh man, I have such a soft spot for that movie... The chemistry between Stallone and Banderas was off the charts -- NGL, I always thought that was the movie's real love story, right there.

[thedevilchicken.livejournal.com]

Assassins is just such ridiculous fun - I can't tell you how many times I've rewatched it and thought, "man, I should really write fic for this!" And y'know, unsurprisingly, you've guessed exactly the pairing I'll be writing if I go through with it. How there's no Rath/Bain fic in the world is totally beyond me.

[moc-215.livejournal.com]

Guess, I'm in.
Most likely I'll be writing for the ZbV-Series by K.H. Scheer

[candyflosskillr.livejournal.com]

Sounds like fun, count me in. Not sure on the fandom yet, need to do some checking first.

[makiyakinabe (from livejournal.com)]

Signing up with the manga Kumamiko - Girl Meets Bear (It's been adapted into an anime that'll air this summer!). I'm still thinking about what I'm going to write for my second fandom.

[rise-your-dead.livejournal.com]

Strongly considering Goldrush: A Real Life Alaskan Adventure

[hopeandglory.livejournal.com]

Thanks for setting this up! I'm tentatively signing up to write for Colette's Chéri/The Last of Chéri novels.

[sw33n3y.livejournal.com]

I can't believe I'm doing this, but this is a wonderfully open challenge and I'd love to give it a go. I'd really like to write a little something for the British detective series 'Rose and Maloney'.

As far as I can see, there aren't any fics for this one on the major sites.

[doranwen.livejournal.com]

Ooh, this sounds like fun! Probably going to write for Goodnight, Mister Tom (the film). I don't know for sure, but leaning towards it. (There's a few fics for the book on ff.n, but none of them specifically mark the film, and there are some significant differences between the two.)

(I'd thought of The Changes--the BBC TV miniseries for kids from the 70s. Or maybe Alma Alexander - Worldweavers, but I requested it for Yuletide precisely because I couldn't imagine how to write for it; obviously no one wrote it. But neither of those inspire me right now.)

[doranwen.livejournal.com]

Already got my fic written; when will the collection open?

[galerian-ash.livejournal.com]

Wow, well done! I'm both impressed and envious ;)

The collection is up now, right here (http://archiveofourown.org/collections/bethefirst2016). Sorry for the delay in answering you; RL stuff has kept me away.

[primeideal (from livejournal.com)]

In! Probably writing for "Outernet," a series of middle-grade books by Steve Barlow and Steve Skidmore; might (also) do "In the Year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson," another middle-grade book by Bette Bao Lord.

[helsinkibaby.livejournal.com]

Is it too late to sign up?

While doing s clean up, I found my discs of a show caked Kevin Hill and am inspired!

[galerian-ash.livejournal.com]

I'm very sorry for taking so long to reply; RL stuff got in the way. It's definitely not too late for you to sign up -- there isn't really a deadline for signing up, at all. And yay for finding an old favorite and getting sudden inspiration, that's great!

[snowynight (from livejournal.com)]

I am in, but haven't decided on the fandom.

[galerian-ash.livejournal.com]

Hi there, this is actually the sign-up post for the first round -- the one from last year. There will be a new one soon, around mid-February, for the second round. Sorry for the confusion, but I hope you'll be able to use the wait to figure out which fandom to write for!

[mental_breakdown_machine]

I’m definitely going to TRY to write something for this I think I have an idea of which fandom I want to write about (wait is writing a fic from a book fandom ok?)

[galerian_ash]

Yes, of course that's okay!

May I ask how you ended up on this post? This is the sign-ups from 2016, so I was a bit surprised to see you replying here. Just want to make sure I don't have a really outdated link somewhere that I've missed!

[mental_breakdown_machine]

Oh my😳 I am literally so embarrassed ummm I think what I did was I somehow found the ao3 post off a random link while I was scrolling through tumblr and then at the bottom of the ao3 page was the link to here? Idk I wasn’t really paying attention. ( wait can I still write my fic?)
