LadySilver's Fanfic

Lots of fun exchanges are coming up, which presents obvious difficulties of how big my eyes are versus how much my stomach can hold.

1. waybackexchange - Nominations close tonight (2/20)

This one is for fandoms that ended no less than 10 years ago.

Eligibility Review Period: February 1 - 12
Nominations: February 13 - February 20
Sign Ups: February 23 - March 2
Assignments will be sent by: March 9
Works due: May 10
Works Revealed: May 19
Authors Revealed: May 27

A casual glance at the tagset shows a lot of potential, especially for Highlander fans. I've added a few more pairings and threw in Raven, my ubiquitious request for My Secret Identity, and the TV show Do Over.

2. hurtcomfortex - Nominations close 2/27

This is, as the name says, is for hurt/comfort stories. I'm going to assume whump could be included in this by request, but I don't know for sure.

Nominations: 15 - 27 Feb
Signups: 1-7 March
Assignments go out: by 10 March
Posting deadline: 10 May
Story reveal: 17 May
Author reveal: 24 May

I haven't nominated anything (yet), and I'm not certain about having to specify which character gets hurt. At first glance, I want to say that doesn't matter to me, only I'm pretty sure an little introspection will rapidly prove otherwise.

3. crossovering - No info yet.

This is a crossover specific exchange.

There was some head's up noise made about a new round starting for this, only the page doesn't yet show any info. I participated the first couple years and had a great time, but sat out last year when the exchange went to ship matching because I couldn't find enough requests or offers to be matchable.

4. fandom5k

Multi-fandom, with a requirement that stories be a minimum of 5K words.

Nominations: 13-22 March
Signups: 23 March-6 April
Assignments out by: 9 April
Default deadline: 3 May
Mandatory check-in: 4-11 May
Stories due: 1 June
Stories revealed: 15 June
Authors revealed: 22 June

I did this one its first year and then didn't do much of anything exchange-wise in 2018. The schedule looks a lot more doable than it was in 2017, though!

Finally, a non-exchange promo.

5. The Cranky Old Fangirls Discord continues to hum along. Come out and join us if you're a fan who's been there and done that in fandom and you want to spend more time in fannish spaces where everyone else has also been there and done that. (There's no requirement to be any of: cranky, old, or a girl.)
