Fandom Rush 01.25 - Sign Up

[prisca]

If you want to play, you have to sign up for the challenge until January 15, 17.00 UTC.

Please, check out the Fandom Pool first.

1. (mandatory) Choose four to six favorite fandoms you love to create something for (if the fandoms are not in the pool so far, don't worry. I will add them before the challenge starts). These fandoms will be your 'Designated Fandoms' for the challenge.

2. (optional) You can opt-out of up to 12 fandoms of the pool. If these fandoms show up on the active list, you can swap them.

I admit I'm a little more hesitant about this one, since I'm much closer to a one fandom at a time kind of writer and after February my job is going to be drastically cutting down how much I can work from home, but maybe it could be a good opportunity and a push to branch out. I don't know if I'll be able to write enough to keep my fandoms on the list, even with my main ones being large fandoms, and frankly I don't know anything about a lot of the fandoms in the pool so it's hard to narrow down the opt-outs.

But I think I want to try.

Designated Fandoms: Star Wars, Miraculous Ladybug, Yu-Gi-Oh, Avatar: The Last Airbender

Opt-Out Fandoms: Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, Supernatural, The Boys, Marvel TV, Marvel TV 2, Jujutsu Kaisen, Dungeon Meshi, Baldur's Gate, 9-1-1, Good Omens, Law and Order

[prisca]

Thank you for signing up despite your doubts. Yes, I understand that this might be a real challenge for someone who likes to stay to one fandom or two. But it can also be fun to overstep your lines a bit and maybe discover something new.

And remember: you have six wildcards = if you use all of them, you can create something for a designated fandom at least every two weeks. Plus, there is a chance that one or more of your designated fandoms might end up on the weekly list (at least for one week, maybe for longer)

Because of the opt-out fandoms: **laughs** I know, what you are talking about - I don't know many pool fandoms, either. So I have chosen some fandoms I just can't stand, and the rest was more gut feeling; at least there is still hope that one of these fandoms turns up on the active list and I will get the chance to choose another one I have at least heard of.

And, just saying: You did sign up for four designated fandoms so far. Remember that you can also sign up for fandoms that are not in the pool. You can add two more at any time until the challenge starts!

Okay how do I get "Marvel's Agents of SHIELD" added to the list as you said you'd add ones we want but not there? I'd really like it on there and I'll trade a designated fandom I currently have listed for it to have that on my designated list. Thanks!

[prisca]

Thanks for signing up again.

You can add 'Marvel's Agent of Shields' to your designated fandoms (because you have already chosen six, you will have to delate one of them). I will add Agent of Shields to the pool before the challenge starts.

[prisca]

Just a question because of 'Tortall' - is this a book-only fandom? I try to avoid book-only fandoms, because it is very challenging to create something if you don't know them. But you can choose the general prompt 'books (all)' and then go with the 'Tortall' fandom for it.

[lilac_misty]

For the first Designated Fandom: Disco Elysium is the game, Sacred and Terrible Air is a novel written before the game was released and set in the same universe, but only recently became known in English-speaking fandom. If you can only add one then Disco Elysium is fine.

Re: Fandom Rush 2025.01 Sign up

[prisca]

It's difficult to end up with negative points unless you miss writing for all your designated fandoms in case they appear on the active list. Just have fun; even if it is a kind of competition because of the points, I have had some participants in the past, simply ignoring them.

Because of your last designated fandom: I will add a 'Radio Show' general prompt to the pool (and as your designated fandom). If it shows up on the active list (or you play a wildcard), feel free to use 'Cabin Pressure' or any other radio show that comes to mind.

[aliensamba]
