Nordipalooza 2020 - Brainstorming

Been thinking about some adjustments I plan to make for Nordipalooza fest next year. (Yes, it's super early to be considering this stuff, I know.) It's probably a little obnoxious that I change things every year, but... oh well!

For 2020:

+ Run primarily on DW. Will throw an initial announcement and the usual deadline reminders on tumblr, but it's mainly going to be DW.
+ Going back to signup via googledoc again.
+ Assignments will be delivered via email. Possibly will provide an option to deliver via DW PM instead? Unsure/undecided about this.
+ Submissions can go on DW or Ao3 collection; it will be allowed to use either or both, like last year. Crosspost links will be included in the final submission link roundup.

Running it simultaneously on tumblr and DW was an interesting experiment, but it was too annoying for me to want to do it again. This fest typically takes place at one of the busiest times of year for me, so the more I can simplify it, the better.

This fest never pulled in a lot of people who make fanart, so there's really no need to try to cater to the fanart-producing crowd anyway. If somebody wants to submit fanart, I can walk them through the process of uploading to Dreamwidth. Or they can submit via email and I'll post it via the mod account, like we've done previously.

Plus, there are a lot of things about the Nordic 5 side of Hetalia fandom on tumblr that I find kind of irritating. So. Better put my efforts where I want to put them, and if the only people who end up participating are me and a few of my friends, that's fine. ;)
