Fics for the 2014 FIA D/G Exchange of Doom A-Go-Go

the fics are up
Yep, y’all, the complete list is UP for the 2014 FIA D/G Exchange of Doom A-Go-Go. šŸ™‚ (Okay, there are still 2 fics we didn’t get in, but at some point, you just have to move on. :P) And here it is!! (Hint: If there’s a Part ONE, that means there’s also a Part TWO. And maybe a Part Three. So in that case, what you’re going to do is to use the lovely FOWARD or BACK buttons on the top of the page. Depending on if, um, the mod posted the fic in the right order. šŸ˜‰ Then, keep reading.)

And do not forget to review. Because…

1.) The sheer joy of reviewing
2.) Whoever leaves the MOST reviews will get a special prize!!
3.) Don’t make me come over there with that Draco/Hermione/Gollum fic, because I WILL come over there. Nobody wants that, RIGHT??

Y’all, we need your nominations in within TWO WEEKS of today. That’s March 14th. That’s two weeks of reading and thinking about nominations. This would also be an ideal time to REVIEW those fics on LJ. And remember, you don’t need to be participant to REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW (and nominatenominatenominate, and vote vote vote… and maybe win the special prize… you get the idea.)

This year, we’re going to have everyone send in nominations by email. So many people don’t have LJ accounts now that it just makes more sense.So send those in to:

dgfics@gmail.com

Sempereademx has an AMAZING free prize for all participants. What you need to do is to email in your favorite Hogwarts house WITH your nomination. I’m really mulling over the idea of no nomination, no prize. That would not be good. We’ll also have t-shirts for the winner in each category, so please submit art if you would like– we need more designs!And don’t forget the special prize for whoever leaves the most reviews.

After nominations close, we will have one week of voting. Votes must be in by THREE weeks from today, which will be March 21st. One week later, we’ll announce winners and do the big reveal of authors! Even more yay!!

I think that’s everything… the evil computer erased the last version of this email, so I can’t be totally sure… but I think that’s it for now!

So read, read like the wind@!!

LIST OF DUE DATES:
March 14th: nominations must be in. Your choice of Hogwarts house on your participants’ prize must also be in. If you have art for the t-shirts, this is the due date too. Voting starts.
March 21st: Votes must be in.
March 28th: Announcements of winners and reveal of real authors. YAY to the ultimate power!!

Comments? Questions? Remarks? Email them all to me. And remember, it’s at dgfics@gmail.com

One More Week Added to Due Date for Fic Exchange

one more week
Due to circumstances beyond our control, weā€™re extending the Fic Due Date for the Exchange by eight days. That means that we absolutely, positively, I am not even kidding, this-is-it, need to get the fics in by midnight on Feb 3. I really donā€™t like the Hall of Shame, and I truly do not want to put anyone in it, but ifā€¦ IFā€¦ we just plain donā€™t get a fic in, and we donā€™t get an email/explanation until, say, 11:59 on Feb 2nd, I WILL DO EET. Donā€™t make me come over there.

But everyone will get their fics in by midnight Feb 3, and happiness and peace and prosperity shall reign in D/G-land. Please donā€™t make me post a link to the work of the only other person who know who does 3D HP computer art. He is all D/Hr, all the time. (Really. Iā€™m not kidding!!) šŸ˜‰

Also, weā€™ll have a list of betas up very very very soon. šŸ™‚

It’s Beta Time!

WE NEED YOU TO BETA

So. Some authors are very very interested in betas for their D/G FIA Exchange fics, which, again, are due soon. You know what that means, right? We really need some beta volunteers. And YOU can do it! šŸ™‚

Hereā€™s what weā€™re going to do. If you are willing to be a beta, then you have some options as to how to let me know.

1. Reply to this post.
2. Email meā€”just click on ā€œAniseā€, and thereā€™s a contact link.
3. Post on the forum link here. (Hereā€™s the Beta Board, yay, check it out.

If, OTOH, you NEED a beta, we will have a list ready soon. You can also head on over to the ffnet forums (they would be right hereand do one of two things:

1. Introduce yourself in the Welcome thread, then get onto the beta threads and start looking for a beta.

2. If you donā€™t want to actually post, just look at the beta threads and then msg people who have already offered their services as betas. Click on the ā€œwriter servicesā€ button at the top of the ffnet page, and then on ā€œBeta Search.ā€

Also, if youā€™re reading this and you need a beta, and you havenā€™t yet told me about it, NOW WOULD BE A GOOD TIME.

(And did you get the pic? It’s a FISH… see… a BETA FISH. Funny? Right? *I* like it, anyway.. šŸ˜‰

Just One Week Left!

TURN IN THE EXCHANGE FIC
Hey yā€™all,

Itā€™s one week, SEVEN DAYS, before the exchange fics are due for the Official D/G Fic Exchange A-GoGo of Winter 2014. If youā€™ve turned yours in already, then yay! If yours will be ready in a week, then yay! If youā€™re having trouble, please let us know. Ifā€¦ okay, positive thinking is important, so we wonā€™t even go there with that last IF. But remember, only you can prevent other Draco pairings. šŸ˜‰
And Ginny pairings, too. Remember, EVERY time an author doesn’t turn in their fic, Ginny has to kiss Harry. We don’t want that, now do we??

3 Weeks Left to Write Exchange Fic! And New Ginny Pic!

ginny 2_0Hey all,

So here’s a new Ginny concept I’ve been working on. What do y’all think? Ginny 1.0, or Ginny 2.0? 1.0 is the one you’ve been seeing, and this is 2.0. I’ll do another closeup render of 1.0, too.

And it’s 3 weeks to the day before the exchange fics are due! Yippee skippee! šŸ™‚

Anise

Pretty much the same news as yesterdayā€¦ the number of prompts is dwindling fast! There are just two days left to pick yours, if you havenā€™t already. And hereā€™s the promised Part 2 of the ā€œD/G Contentmentā€ graphic strip. I think Iā€™m going to do more of the multi-parters.
