Uhm, currently the form would allow me to make three to four requests per requests per request. is that intended?

[elynross]

WHOOPS NO IT IS NOT. *kof* I think it's fixed. *g*

[zebra_in_dream]

Yep, fixed, but the optional details for bucket offers are missing.

[zebra_in_dream]

Now we have a description field but no additional tags. :)

[myxginxblossoms]

Oh, crud. I didn't think to check the tags after The Mummy nominations were combined, and now Evy's not on the list. My heart, she is breaking at my own foolishness. ._.

[becky_monster]

*Koff* - The Mummy Series:
Dr. Terrence Bey Alex O'Connell Anck Su Namun Ardeth Bay Evelyn "Evy" Carnahan Imhotep (The Mummy) Jonathan Carnahan Richard "Rick" O'Connell

I think that counts, don't you?

[myxginxblossoms]

When I signed up, she wasn't there. Possibly they just added her back in.

ETA: Yeah, no, just tried to add her. She's not in the character list--or, at least, she certainly isn't in mine.

[elynross]

No, but that's why the instructions above have the note:

When you input a fandom name, then all characters available for that fandom should come up in the autofill. If a character listed on the tag set does not come up under the appropriate fandom, you can copy & paste it from the tag set to make sure it's input correctly.

a: eeee!

b: Someone last year made this super awesome add-on that filters the tagset and helps generate a bucket list, and it has been updated for 2012 :) : here!

[elynross]

I'd forgotten about that, thank you so much!

[bookshop]

oh my goodness, what an amazing amazing tool, I WISH I'D SEEN THIS LAST YEAR, OMG THANK YOU YAY <3

[attempt_unique]

optional tags field is missing in offers so can't do the bucket list.

[elynross]

Sigh! I believe it's fixed, and I altered the text to specify "Bucket List", as well. Thanks!

[attempt_unique]

I think right now it is a text field rather than a tag field. But that could be how it is supposed to be?

[elynross]

...fixed again. I was clearly too eager to get things going early -- even though I swear I compared to last year, section by section. *crawls back under the covers*

It's a good thing you guys remember this stuff (clearly) better than I do....

How does the Dear Author/Optional Details thing work? Like, do I put my Dear Author link in the first request and not the others, or does it have to go on all the requests? What belongs in Optional Details and what in the Dear Author letter, or should I put the same things on both?

[elynross]

Some people put the link in every request, some only in the first. Some people simply replicate their optional details in the letter, some just put a link to the letter in their signup and then put all their details in the letter, some put a short set of specifics in the signup, then expand at length in the letter -- it's really up to you how you want to do it.

[elliemurasaki]

Gotcha, thanks.

It never hurts to copy the link multiple times, just in case someone might think that you only wrote about one fandom. However, your recipient sees all the text you put in. Personally, I put in a short version of my request and add something like "details can be found at [letterlink]"
