Since this was the Genficathon's first year at AO3, I requested invitations on behalf of participants who weren't yet members there. At the time the archive was issuing batch invitations in groups of ten, and four-or-five of those were used, which means I have five completely unused invitations. With the drama at Fanfiction.net and AO3's ( Read more... )

I think the presumption of this fest has been that associated works (such as art for posted fics) is fine without prior permission, at least during the fest's "open" period. However, I know not all authors feel that way, at least not necessarily about all works.

Therefore: Authors and artists of the main event, if you're willing, please leave an ( Read more... )

The authors and artists are now revealed! The master list is now updated ( Read more... )

I finally have a working computer again! To celebrate, I'm announcing a future announcement: I will reveal this year's authors on Monday 25 June. I'm picking this date as a combination of the "about a week" responses I got from the prior poll, waiting through AO3's busier weekend activity, and personal convenience ( Read more... )

You may notice the lack of a typical poll here. I figure the answers could be wide-ranging enough, it's better to do this as text ( Read more... )

The 2012 Genficathon (main round) is now closed! You can see the full collection here, or you can follow the direct individual-work links below. This post will also serve as the master list; once authors are revealed, I'll update this listing with names. [ETA: Names added 25 June 2012.] At that point, once folks start cross-posting, I'll also ( Read more... )

tridget just pointed out an interesting and rather annoying phenomenon: If direct work links are used, the art and fics at AO3 are generally available; but if the "expanded" collection link is used, folks not logged in at AO3 may get 404 errors ( Read more... )

As a general rule, I've been trying to reveal each day's fic (or fic + art) post before 10am US EDT. (Actually, I've been aiming for between 7am and 8am, but see icon.) I chose this time in part because it gives a good overlap between European and US waking-hours exposure (sorry, Australia and Southeastern Asia) ... but I also chose it to give the ( Read more... )

For those who are not aware - as I was not fully myself until quite recently, because I've been turning off comments comment notifications for announcements - one of the posted fics has sparked quite the discussion regarding the nature of gen over at the announcement post. Those comments now include my (michelel72) explanation of what happened with fic ( Read more... )

I've sent email or PMs in most of these cases, but I'm not entirely sure my messages are getting through, so I'm going to use this forum as well.

I need to hear back as soon as possible from the following participants:
- Author of "Toast - cut five ways" regarding missing text Update received
- Artist for "Toast - cut five ways" regarding art ( Read more... )
