Reversathon Sign-Up Post What is the Reversathon? Please see our handy summary of the fest at the General info post here! Feel free to ask questions there if anything isn’t clear. This post covers the information you need to sign up and receive your assignment, however, so it should be all you need for the moment.
How do I sign up? Behind the cut on this post you will find the sign up questionnaire - please fill this in fully and post it as a comment to this post. You can sign up at the post on Livejournal, Insanejournal or Dreamwidth, but please only do one! All comments are screened.
Sign-ups are open until midnight GMT on Monday 7th May (When is that?). Before signing up please make sure you have read this post fully. You will need to check back at this community on the dates noted below in order to receive an assignment and be a part of the fest – this sign up form alone is just the first step.
What happens then? Once sign-ups end, the info from the questionnaires will be posted as anonymous ads, but instead of everyone being ‘anon’, all participants will be randomly assigned a witch or wizard name that they will be known by for the duration of the fest.* Once these ads are posted, participants must then make a total of three requests, one each to three different people for the fic or art they want to receive. The moderators will make sense of these requests and make assignments. After a couple of months the results will be posted and we all get lots of great fic and art to enjoy! Easy, eh?
The schedule for the rest of the fest is as follows:
Tuesday 8th May – Author/artist ads posted. Friday 11th May - All requests must be received by this date. Monday 14th May – Assignments will be sent out by this date at the latest. Monday 16th July - Submissions are due. Wednesday 1st August – Posting starts. The exact schedule will depend on the number of participants.
Even if you've dropped out of a Reversathon in the past, you will still be eligible to take part.
Any questions, please send them to reversathon @ refugeeblues.com or ask in the comments of the general info post - just sign-ups on this post, please.
You don't need to have an LJ/IJ/DW in order to participate, but you must include some form of identifying name, however minor. If you are unable to make an anonymous comment you can send the required sign-up info direct to the mods at reversathon @ refugeeblues.com. Please ALWAYS include either your identifying name or the name of LJ/IJ/DW you signed up under in all correspondence with the fest mods to preserve their sanity *g*
Please copy and paste from the text box below to fill out your sign-up. You can see more info on what to put below.
LJ/IJ/DW name: Include as many as you want, as we will be cross-posting. Email address: Not your livejournal/dreamwidth/insanejournal default address, please, and there's no need to spam-protect it as comments will remain screened. Author, artist or both?:

All comments are screened, but we will compile a list of participants at regular intervals and add it to the end of this post so you can easily check if your sign-up is in. If there is any problem with your sign-up, for example if you’ve missed any important info out, we will drop you a line to sort it out before adding you to the participant list.
* Please note this means that you will not know the real journal name of the recipient. If there are pressing reasons why you need to not be matched with a particular participant you will have chance to let the mods know, but we ask that you only do this if it’s absolutely necessary.
Sign-ups received and checked so far (alphabetical order): (Please note not all of these may be active journals, but the users are active on at least one of our posting sites if a journal name is given.)
