time to get your spuffy groove on: ROUND 12 SIGN-UP POST

[ladyofthelog.livejournal.com]

snickfic and I are returning, as your first mate and captain respectively, to head up this round of seasonal_spuffy! (We are honored to have taken up the helm from the lovely enigmaticblues, who has done such great work organizing and running this community over the years, and tip our hats her way.) Feel free to contact us via the group email address, seasonal.spuffy@gmail.com.

1. Round 12 of seasonal_spuffy will run from April 1 to May 7.
Window A: April 1 - April 7
Window B: April 8 - April 14
Window C: April 15 - April 21
Window D: April 22 - April 28
Window E: April 29 - May 6
Free For All: May 7

2. Sign ups will end on February 20 at midnight GMT. I will post the schedule the following day.

3. When you sign up, please use the following form:
Username:
Window preferences:
Likely medium(s):
Special considerations:

4. The theme for this round will be "fire." As always, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO MAKE USE OF THE THEME. Ignore it, go wild with it, it doesn't matter.

5. The 24 hour grace period will continue this round. I do strongly recommend against using it if at all possible. Some do not like sharing their day, and that's understandable. But, that being said, the grace period is there for the mods' convenience. Instead of sending me a panicked email when you forget your date, you can post within the grace period, no questions asked. Any longer than that, and you'll need to wait for the free-for-all at the end of this round.

6. On that note, depending on how many people sign up, you may end up sharing your date. Please let me know in the special considerations if you absolutely cannot share your day. Please also know that it's first come, first served. If you sign up at the last minute, the chances of having to share increase greatly, so please keep this in mind. The same is true for other special considerations. (Also remember that later dates generally fill up the fastest, so if you need a late date, prepare to share.)

7. Once again, let me reiterate that this is a friendly community. Please report any flames to me immediately, and I will take the appropriate action. Trolls are not welcome here, but at the same time, let's not bait them.

8. seasonal_spuffy accepts any kind of vid, fanart, or fic that has never been posted anywhere else before. You may repost material in your own journal, or you may link to your journal in your seasonal_spuffy entry. As long as the post is made nearly contemporaneously, I'll let it slide. Clarification: for those who are interested in contributing but not creatively minded right now, yes, we ARE welcoming podfic this year! Just make sure you have okayed it with the author of the story you're recording. Making your podfic available in both .mp3 & .m4b formats is recommended.

9. BANNER CONTEST: Submissions are due by February 20 (end of sign-ups) and voting will begin the following week. When submitting, please send your banner directly to seasonal.spuffy@gmail.com. No more than two banners per person. Include your LJ name and "Round 12 Banner Submission" in the subject heading of the email. I would prefer to be sent the file directly, but a link is also acceptable if you're okay with hotlinking the picture for the poll. The maximum dimensions are 800 x 400px. File format should be jpeg, gif, or png. If you'd like to make a matching icon for the mods to use, that would be totally awesome (but is not required).

10. Tagging! Further updates will come soon about how to make tagging easier for our tag team.

Any questions may be asked below.

Let the fun begin!

I'm going to be sorry to see your banner go, hon. Your art made the comm look gorgeous.

Window preferences: A
Likely medium(s): icons and or art
Special considerations: none .

I like to make a banner for this round as well, but *iz confused* do I include Round 11 Banner Submission in the header despite it being round 12?

[ladyofthelog.livejournal.com]

Haha, no! Thanks for catching the typo. Everything should be Round 12 now.

Username: Eilowyn
Window preferences: D or E because PROCRASTINATION IS MY MIDDLE NAME
Likely medium(s): Picspam or fanfic
Special considerations: I'll probably go through a phase of feeling like a talentless inebriate when I see all the other beautiful fics and arts people will do during the first windows, but I'll get over it. Eventually. Oh, and preferably either a Friday or Saturday as those are my no work and no school days.

I'm sick of not doing anything for seasonal_spuffy, even though I don't really have any ideas as it stands, so...

Username: quinara
Window preferences: Not C!! Because going early's gone well for me in the past, I'll say A, B, E, D, C.
Likely medium(s): Fic. Maybe something random, but mostly fic.
Special considerations: I have a deadline on the 19th, so the closer I am to that the less likely it is that anything's going to happen.

Window preferences: D or E, though anything after the 19th is fine. At least, that's what I say now.
Likely medium(s): Fic or limericks

[angearia.livejournal.com]

I have this goal to finish mine before the session starts 'cause then I get to enjoy all the fic without feeling guilty about not being done with my story. This goal is no doubt ~unrealistic~

[sidhlairiel.livejournal.com]

Oh darn, I thought seasonal_spuffy was going to be May/June this year? I daren't sign up because I don't think I'll be able to get my fic done in time. I don't want to steal a slot away from anyone who is better with the updating. But still, excited!

[ladyofthelog.livejournal.com]

If you want to try to make it, I can assign you to share a date with someone in one of the later windows - there will definitely be room for you, and it's not an issue if you need to drop out later in the game. We want people to come play in our sandbox!
