! 2014 interest edition
Hello everyone!
Cutting the Captain Planet schtick for a few moments here, this is your friendly otherworldly mod! As you can see, the timing of which I usually announce a cycle has passed. This isn't to say that there won't be a cycle this year -- there very well may be! -- but first, I want to see if there is interest in the fic-writing side of fandom for this to be a successful and fruitful run of je_otherworlds.
As we all can see, interest in the fic side of fandom has fallen a lot due to many factors, so this is going to be very, very simple -- please reply to this post if you would be interested in writing for another cycle of JEOW. There is no form to fill out, although if you could leave what groups you usually write/are primarily interested in, that would definitely help me exponentially in figuring out if this is a project I want to take on.
Of course, I want the cycle to happen. I love this exchange, I love this genre of fic, and I love that for all three years of the exchange thus far the fic that has come out of this exchange has been some of the best in fandom for years, and that's not just me tooting the exchange but, really, a shout-out to all of you for making it happen. And I have no doubt that I could run it again and the same caliber of writing would come out again! When I say that I am consistently impressed by the exchange, I truly do mean that. But unfortunately, running an agency-wide exchange like this tends to make pairing people as well as finding betas/pinch hits incredibly difficult if there isn't a relatively even amount of interest from the groups represented, nor does it make finding the inevitable pinch hits easy, either.
That being said, I am absolutely for modding and participating in another cycle! So let me hear your thoughts and concerns, and I will take everyone's comments into account as I try to figure out plausibility and potential timeline.
Also, don't be afraid to link this entry out to everyone and anyone! The more input, the better!
Thanks everyone!
