Work-Around Sign-Up Summary (updated with final sign-ups)

[morbane]

There is a problem with the AO3 sign-up summary, which shows how many offers there are for requested canons - you may have noticed that it merely gives the message, "The summary is being generated. Please try again in a few minutes." This problem has been reported to AO3.

Meanwhile, there are a lot of helpful online tools to compare lists, and the feature whereby moderators can download a file of all requests and offers is working, so I will post occasional sign-up summary work-arounds in this post.

Dear Creator Letters 2018

[morbane]

Letters are optional. Whether or not you write one is up to you. Some people like the tradition and the opportunity to organise and format their prompts according to personal style.

If you're writing a letter to potential authors/artists/podfic artists, you can link it here or at the equivalent post on LJ. You can also put your whole letter in a comment or series of comments here, if you don't have a journal or similar to host it on. Wherever you put it, please include the link in your sign-up on AO3.

If writing a letter, please make sure it's complete and public by 14 April.

If you're wondering what to put in your letter, try browsing through the 'dear creator' or 'dear writer' tags on the DW or LJ comm, and use the letters you like as a model for your own. I suggest you include the following information at a minimum:
-your AO3 name
-the songs you're requesting
-the medium or media you're requesting for each song
-the prompts and DNWs you entered into your sign-up.

You may wish to use your letter to expand on your sign-up prompts, or just include lists of tropes you like or dislike.

Here's a possible template for linking your letter here. Use it if you find it convenient:


<strong>AO3 name:</strong> [HERE] <strong>Letter link:</strong> [HERE] [Name of song canon] - requesting [medium] [Name of song canon] - requesting [medium] [Name of song canon] - requesting [medium] [Name of song canon] - requesting [medium]


This year, the requests will also be visible on AO3 during the sign-up period.
