skieswideopen: An open book surrounded by other books with the text "books" (Reading)
Nominations are up at a new exchange, [community profile] sufficiently_advanced_ex, focusing on science fiction, fantasy and horror books.

And sign-ups are open at [community profile] unsent_letters_exchange. I'm hoping someone asks for something I want to write.

Crossworks

skieswideopen: Martha Jones from Doctor Who (Doctor Who: Martha Jones)
For anyone who's interested in a crossover/fusion exchange, [community profile] crossworks nominations are open until June 16th.

I have two slots left and three or four fandoms I'm considering. Four days to decide!
skieswideopen: Sam & Cam on The Odyssey, with Sam's hands on Cam's shoulders (SG: Sam & Cam on ship)
For the crossover fans out there: Nominations are open at [community profile] crossworks until June 9, with assignments due August 14.

I used to participate in the predecessor exchange, [community profile] crossovering, which was a lot of fun. I'm still deciding whether I want to do this one, given the extra time required to review two canons, but I do love crossovers.

Additional exchanges/challenges/etc. coming up, for my own records:
* [community profile] everywoman
* [community profile] iddyiddybangbang
* [community profile] justmarriedexchange
* [community profile] fandomgiftbox
* Rarest of Rare

Dracula

skieswideopen: (Defiance: Irisa)
This site is going to be emailing out Dracula in "real time," according to the dates on the various letters, clippings, etc. in the book. It starts tomorrow, May 3, if you want to play along.
skieswideopen: (Sleepy Hollow: Abbie & Ichabod 2)
For anyone looking for a quick winter exchange, [community profile] justmarriedexchange is hosting a marriage-themed flash exchange for fic, art and podfic. Nominations and sign-ups close tomorrow, and submissions are due February 2.
skieswideopen: Chloe Decker from Lucifer (Lucifer: Chloe)
The tag set for [community profile] yuletide_admin has been revealed, and the countdown has begun for sign-ups, which are slated to open on Friday.

For those who missed nominations, or who are looking for a less rare, non-Yuletide-eligible fandom, nominations are now open at [community profile] mistletoe_exchange, a new all-fandom ship exchange.

I'm torn on which I'd rather do, if any. My track record on actually finishing writing in a timely fashion hasn't been great lately and I hate spending the days before Christmas either scrambling to write or feeling guilty because I'm not writing. On the other hand, I love actually finishing things and receiving fic and being part of the excitement. I've nominated for both, so I might wait for the letter and see if I find any of the requests inspiring.

If anyone's looking for something to do.

Also, nominations are now open at [community profile] crossovering. Which also looks like it could be fun, if crossovers are your thing.

So apparently Sci-Fi Fic Swap was cancelled. Or at least I'm assuming that's what it means when the AO3 account and the DW account both get deleted without warning. Would have been nice to have been given a reason why, but oh well.

There are lots of other challenges going on right now, including [community profile] npt_admin for medium-sized fandoms (nominations open until April 15th) and Night on Fic Mountain for rare fandoms (nominations open until April 21st). (Night on Fic Mountain started at FFA; questions can go there.)

I'm debating whether there are enough fandoms I want in either to sign-up. Might be nice to put my sci-fi fic sign-up letter to a purpose...
skieswideopen: (OB)
Orphan Black took ten awards at the Canadian Screen Awards this year, including best drama series, a best actress in a drama series award for Tatiana Maslany, best supporting actress for Maria Doyle Kennedy, and best supporting actor for Jordan Gavaris. So a good night for them.

In completely unrelated news, Remix Redux 11 is running this year at [livejournal.com profile] remixers_lounge. There's a poll up now about what fandoms should be added, if anyone feels like participating. Current contenders include Arrow, Elementary, Sleepy Hollow, and Teen Wolf.

(I'm not sure yet if I'm going to participate, but looking through my own stuff, I think the only things I currently qualify for are SGA and SG1. Well, and Forever Knight, but that's not one of the official options. Apparently I lack fandom commitment.)

New sci-fi fic exchange running on AO3. Apparently the matching is going to be on fandom and relationships, not characters. You can ask to receive gen/friendship fic in the details, but shouldn't offer pairings you aren't prepared to write romantically. Could be interesting.

Nominations (open until March 15th) and sign-ups (opening March 20th) for anyone who's interested. You can also check it out on Dreamwidth.

(Sci-Fi is being defined here as "a genre with futuristic settings, futuristic science and technology, space travel, time travel, parallel universes, extraterrestrial life, and things of that nature.")

Want to celebrate a more platonic version of Valentine's Day? Just a fan of gen friendship? Head over to the fourth annual Valentine's Day multifandom friendship fic (and art) fest and leave a prompt or two. Or fill some!

Also! There's a very casual Sleepy Hollow multimedia fest happening over here if you want to come leave some prompts. (Prompt filling starts next week!)

Nominations are open at [livejournal.com profile] rarewomen! This is an exchange for female characters from fandoms big and small who don't get nearly enough stories written about them.

I haven't decided yet if I'm signing up--I've been trying to cut back on challenges so I can tackle my WIP folder and maybe some NYR stories instead--but I love the concept behind this one, and I'm tempted by the (slight) possibility of more Being Human fic.

The rules can be found here and there's some discussion of nominations here. Nominations are open until February 8th.

If you're looking for something else to do, sign-ups will be opening in a few days at [livejournal.com profile] shipswap, and sign-ups are currently open at [community profile] space_swap | [livejournal.com profile] space_swap. Because you can never have too many space ships.

Sign-ups are open at [community profile] space_swap | [livejournal.com profile] space_swap if anyone wants to come play! Sign-ups close February 8th.

Sign-ups for [community profile] fandom_stocking close on Wednesday. Go here if you want to participate!

Also! The full list of Yuletide prompts has been released early this year, if anyone's curious about what was requested (and what therefore might be written). The easiest way to see the whole list is to download the text file linked in the first comment of this post.

[community profile] fandom_stocking is up and running! You can leave your stocking here. (And get an early look at what other people are asking for!)

Sign-ups at [livejournal.com profile] insmallpackages are open as well!
skieswideopen: Kat Neely from Being Human (Being Human: Kat)
The new season of Being Human is still a couple of months away, so I'm keeping myself entertained by creating a community.

[community profile] beinghuman_us

At least it'll be somewhere to rec any Yuletide fic that gets written? /optimistic

I'm still fiddling with a few things, but if you're a fan of the show and have anything you want to post, go ahead.
skieswideopen: Text icon saying "team enabler" (team enabler)
If anyone's looking to take a break from Yuletide write short (100 to 2000 words) fic in a sci-fi or fantasy fandom, prompting is now open at [livejournal.com profile] consci_fan_mo. You can leave fandom prompts here, lyric/quote prompts here, and image prompts here. You're allowed up to five prompts in each category. Prompting closes November 15th.
