[info]celandineb in [info]3fan_holidays

2011 signup post!

So... you've finished (or are well along with writing) your fics for other holiday or winter fests. Or maybe you didn't sign up for any, and are now wishing perhaps you had. Perhaps you would like to dip your toes into somewhat less familiar fannish waters, but Yuletide seemed too big and full of fandoms you've never even heard of.

Fear not! I bring you tidings of [info]3fan_holidays! All you have to do is be willing to write a drabble or ficlet (100-2000 words) in one or more of these three fandoms: Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and/or Pirates of the Caribbean. You are permitted to note other fandoms you'd enjoy a gift drabble/ficlet in, if you want, but there's no guarantee your writer will be familiar with any but one of those three.

Seriously, all you have to be able and willing to write is a 100-word drabble, HP, LotR, or PotC. :-) This is meant to be a quick and fun little fest, not something to cause more stress at this season!

Sign-ups will continue through 5 pm (US central time) on Saturday, November 26. I anticipate sending out assignments on the 27th or 28th. Ficlets will be due by December 15, giving you a little over 2 weeks to write - that is, like, 7 words minimum per day. *g* Posting will run from approximately December 16-24, depending on the number of participants. Posts will be made on LJ, although I will put links from the IJ and DW mirror comms. Author reveals will be made on or about December 31.

Given that the number of participants has always been small, I do NOT expect to have to close sign-ups. In the unlikely event that more than 25 people are interested in participating this year, I may reconsider.

( Rules and regs, and sign-up info, over at LJ )

Please watch and/or join the comm if you haven't already!
