Sign-up post for Issue Four

[5thofficial]

Welcome to the sign-up post for Issue 4 of cornerflag! We return to club football and, as per the results of this poll, the theme for this issue is:

Goalkeepers

You may interpret it any way you wish, and only one of your chosen duo need be a goalkeeper. This theme is optional -- you're still free to write whatever you like, though we strongly encourage you to take up the theme. Stories that are written for theme will be marked out for the readers' attention.

The usual rules and guidelines apply. We've been a bit slack in enforcement, and for that we apologise unreservedly. Also, while we do our best to keep track of popular pairings in fandom, we can't always keep up with what's hot in clubs the editors have little interest in, so we accept sign-ups on trust that the twosome you choose is an uncommon one. :)

To sign up, please leave a comment with the following information:

• the club and characters you intend write for,
• whether it's gen or slash (both m/m and f/f) or het,
• and a pseudonym if desired. Please indicate as such if that's the case -- your comment will be duly screened.

Reminder: Each club is limited to only two stories (with certain exceptions -- see #8 on the list of rules and guidelines) and each writer may only sign up for one club. This post will be updated with a list of writers sorted by club, so you can see if all the slots for a particular club are taken up.
