RFC

So, the results of this poll are such that I will probably be running the Multi-Fandom Lyric Wheel in June-July.

I will be using the AO3 ficathon engine for it, so anyone who wishes to participate will need to join that site: (http://archiveofourown.org/). I have an invite going spare, and I could probably get more if need be. Please let me know if you need one. There needs to be a minimum of ten people signing up to make this ficathon viable.

I have also revised the FAQ: please give feedback!

I also have an AO3 invite for anyone who needs it.

The FAQ looks good, and I definitely will be participating unless RL comes crashing down (I'm headed to the UK for a wedding in late June, but I should be able to write on the plane, so).

Yay!

If I remember the original FAQ correctly, the main change this time seems to be: To help you resist temptation, I'll make it simple: no quoting of the lyrics at all. Before, IIRC the quoting of a line or so was permissable. It's not always easy to "capture the atmosphere/intent" of a song. I suppose that it's up to the provider of the lyrics to choose two songs that have a distinctive atmosphere or a clear meaning, rather than just being their favourite songs. If they choose songs where the lyrics are exceedingly obscure, then they can't complain if the story that they get isn't in accord with what they themself read into the lyrics.
