Hi all penintime October 25 2011, 13:23:20 UTC

I'm very new to all of this (yuletide, livejournal) and it seems like soooo much fun but it's also quite bewildering! I can't believe how cool these projects are, and I'd love to participate in the Yuletide Treasure as well as the candy swap. But I'm wondering how to go about it, do I have to be a member of Archive of our own to do so? Iwas going to join but it seems there is a waiting list of 1900 people..? What do I do? Should I join Organization for Transformative Works? I'd be happy to donate to them, but will that qualify me for AO3 and yuletide and swaps? Like I said, I'm pretty lost here, sorry about that and thanks for any help anyone can give...

Not a mod, but:

You will need an AO3 account to do Yuletide. Last year, people who didn't have AO3 accounts when sign-ups were about to open could email the mods to get an invitation. I'm sure something similar will be in place this year -- I'd put your name on the wait list for an invitation (it moves pretty fast) but also watch yuletide_admin for announcements about other ways to get one.

Joining OTW has nothing to do with it -- it won't get you an AO3 invitation any faster, and it's not at all required to use AO3 or participate in Yuletide.

Ah, ok! Thank you for clearing that up for me :D I'll get myself on to that wait list now then!

. . .or just post your e-mail, and I'm sure someone can send you an invite code; I doubt I'm the only one with spares sitting around.

Wohoo thanks, I'm in! Now to sign up for t't candy swap!

Re: Hi all sleepfighter October 25 2011, 16:39:52 UTC

Sorry for the confusion! We're using the AO3 penname as part of the form, since you will need one for Yuletide itself, and while many of the people who participate in Yuletide have other journals, there are many who do not.

Re: Hi all penintime October 25 2011, 18:16:27 UTC

Nah I am too easily daunted by these things, and it's great that so many people took the time to help me out! I am now signed up for the candy swap and of course looking forward to signing up for yuletide! Ta very much!

Re: Hi all sleepfighter October 25 2011, 18:51:00 UTC

Not a problem. Hope you get someone awesome!
