2021 Schedule

[longficmod]

The 2021 round of Fandom5K is approaching!

Dates are almost the same this year as last. We haven't yet updated the AO3 collection with rules and FAQ for 2021, but we don't anticipate any major changes.

2021 schedule:

Nominations: 17-26 March
Signups: 27 March-10 April
Assignments out by: 13 April
Default deadline: 7 May
Mandatory check-in: 8-15 May
Stories due: 4 June
Stories revealed: 25 June
Authors revealed: 4 July

If you didn't check in for our previous rounds or defaulted after the no-fault deadlines one of those years, but you want to participate this year, you'll need to fulfill your original assignment before signups start on 27 March. Please drop us an email at fandom5kmod AT gmail when you do. If you're not sure whether this applies to you or have any concerns about your makeup assignment, please email us to ask.

Would you consider just this once, 2020 being what it was, compromising and letting 2020 defaulters write their makeup for a different request rather than their original assignment?

We definitely know 2020 was a hard year, and difficult situations can come up for anyone in any year, so we hope you'll take as much time as you need to fulfil the make up assignment.

As always, if there are concerns you have about your particular assignment for 2020 or any other year (for example: something unexpected occurred with the canon, uncertainty about whether your recipient is still interested), please feel free to email us to discuss it. Our email address is fandom5kmod@gmail.com.

Will you be making notification posts on DW or do we check Tumblr or another site for reminders? I'm not sure what the main site this fest is being run on, so just wanted to check. Thanks!

Hi! Dreamwidth is our main site, so I'd recommend following this comm if that works for you, but we do have a Tumblr: https://fandom5k.tumblr.com/

It's simply an RSS feed of the DW, and we don't use it for communication otherwise, but you can feel free to subscribe there, too.

DW is my main social networking too, so I'm good! Just wanted to make sure I didn't need to set up notifications or check in on Tumblr more often. Thanks!

Can we please have a fandom promo post during nominations? They're always so helpful.

Sure--done here:
