Approaching the starting line

[longficmod]

We're almost ready to kick off the 2018 round! Just a few housekeeping matters before we do.

First, the dates for nominations have moved just slightly. They will be open from 13 March to 11:59 PM EDT on 22 March. Signups will still open on 24 March. The full schedule is here.

If you defaulted late or did not check in last year but want to participate in this round, you must complete your original assignment by 23 March. The 2017 collection will remain open until then. Please shoot us an email (fandom5kmod@gmail.com) when you post so we can be sure to see it.

The 2018 FAQ and rules are up at AO3! Nothing has changed substantially from last year. As always, if anything needs clarification, please let us know.

And, finally, for those of you who prefer Tumblr to Dreamwidth, we've set up an automatic Tumblr feed for the posts to this community. All Tumblr's contact options are turned off for that account--please continue to contact us here at DW or over email.

That makes sense, though I feel like there comes a point where a category becomes so broad that it becomes less useful. If a tag encompasses too much, then people can't use it to request/offer the things they want without also requesting/offering other things they don't want. I mean, you wouldn't want to combine Established Relationship and Get Together into a single Romance tag when so many people only want one and not the other.

Whatever you decide, though, I'm still looking forward to the coming round of Fandom 5k.
