Signups are open for crackthewip!

This is a multifandom challenge to finish WIPs/in-progress works. Due date is April 1-7.

Man, I really enjoy fests like this. Writing for myself, and with the extra incentive of a deadline? Nice. And unlike IIBB, this one doesn't have a minimum wordcount, so I can post one of my short works for it.

I have a short TMA fic that I want to post for this. Hoping to complete some other things too, but... let's just commit to one fic at a time, shall we? ;p

Possibly of interest to some of you:

rarefemslashexchange is a new exchange currently in the nomination stages. The focus is on F/F ships with fewer than 250 works on Ao3 (with filters).

I won't be joining this one, but I really like the premise. Definitely going to be keeping an eye out for treating.

☆ The annual fandomtrumpshate fandom auction is coming up! Bidding opens on Feb 22nd, and I can't wait! All the offers have been posted over at fth2021offerings, and I'm definitely going to need to spend some time this weekend looking through them to get an idea of what I want before bids open.

My offerings page is over here if anyone's interested in previewing it. 1 beta slot for any fandom, + 2 slots fic up to 5k for SSSS, aRTD, or Hetalia. Orrrr... possibly other fandoms that I've written before, but I request contacting me before bidding in that case, because it's very likely I'll need to canon review.

☆ Looks like multifandomdrabble will be running two rounds this year! Schedule. Round 1 will be running at the same time as Nordipalooza, but considering the bite-sized minimum, I think I'll manage to participate in both. ;)

☆ And speaking of which, I haven't put up this year's schedule, but nordipalooza will be running as usual this year. It'll be on roughly the same schedule as last year unless something very unexpected happens. I haven't decided whether to extend the posting period from the start (keep it open into June) or stick to the typical late May closing date.

☆ kinkluckydip is a new smut exchange. 300 word minimum, matching is based on pairing and medium, no freeform matching. Sort of like that Little Black Dress exchange that ran last year, but for kinks instead of pairings. This really appeals to me because a lot of the time, while I'm writing out my exchange requests, I find myself thinking "Hell, I don't know, surprise me?" And the short minimum... yes. Leaning toward doing this one if I can get myself organized. Anybody else interested? Signups are supposed to open Feb 26.
