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.

Maybe in? Still thinking about fandoms.

Also, will you be able to get tags wrangled on Ao3 in time for reveals? They've been finicky recently about how they process new tags for new fandoms when fanworks are unrevealed, which will obviously be an issue here.

I'm not connected to AO3 in any way, nor do I have control over their recent behavior. I experienced this new policy firsthand a few weeks ago, when I took part in an exchange (writing for a fandom that didn't have a tag there). To say that my experience with their so-called support was disappointing and frustrating would be a major understatement. The same can unfortunately be said of the previous time I reached out to them, regarding the recent layout changes. So I'm not too eager to contact them again, especially since I'm certain their answer would be the same. Still, I'll probably force myself to do it -- just in case, and for the best of the challenge.

That said, I did plan for this. First off, I'll make a list here of all fics submitted. I'll order them alphabetically by fandom, and all stories will be accounted for. Secondly, when the AO3 collection goes live I'll make it very clear that they're now oddly unamiable towards small fandoms, and urge everyone to not view the collection via the fandoms listing. Instead, I'll ask that people go through the works page instead -- hardly ideal, but there is the LJ post to fall back on for those who want a fandom overview instead. And that's the best I can do when it comes to this issue, I'm afraid.
