Finish-a-thon 2012 Sign Ups!
Announcing... finish-a-thon 2012! Yes, we're doing it again.
Remember all those poor, neglected plot bunnies that have been starving from lack of attention, because all those ficathons kept on having higher priority? The stories you wish you could finish, if only you could find the time? Well, fear not, the finish-a-thon is coming to the rescue!
The finish-a-thon is a ficathon, with all the ficathon-like things like deadlines and fellow volunteers to encourage you, but with this ficathon, you write your own ideas. But since part of the encouragement of a ficathon is writing things for other people, what we're going to do, is vote for which story ideas people should write.
I have set up a website to facilitate the ficathon, including a handy-dandy sign-up form which should make entering all the information easier.
PLEASE let me know if you have any problems.
Dates
Sign-ups end:
AEST: Saturday 31st March 2012, 8am
GMT : 30th March 2012, 10pm
Stories due:
AEST: 9th June 2012, 10am
GMT : 8th June 2012, midnight
(more detailed date information is in the Rules and FAQ page)
Note that you can edit your sign-up information as much as you want until the sign-up deadline, at which point editing will be disabled.

You have a Dreamwidth account, and you have a Livejournal account. You can use either one to log in to my site.
1. Make sure that you are currently logged in to either Dreamwidth or Livejournal.
2. Go to the sign-up page on my site: http://www.katspace.org/fiction/ficathons/finish-a-thon/2012/sign_up/
3. In the "Author Name" form type in "Nicola Mody"
4. Click the "Edit" button next to that form, NOT the "edit" button which is elsewhere on the sign-up page.
5. You will be taken to the log-in form.
6. You have two options: you can log in using your LJ id, or you can use OpenId.
7. Doing option 1: click on the "pencil" icon.
7a. The form will change to say "Enter your Livejournal username:"
7b. Type in "vilakins".
7c. Click the "login" button.
7d. This will take you to LiveJournal, which says that katspace.org wants to validate your livejournal identity, and "Do you want to pass your identity to them?"
7e. Click on either "Yes, just this time" or "Yes, always".
7d. This should then take you back to katspace.org; you will be logged in, and you can now fill in the author-sign-up page.
8. Doing option 2: click on the "OpenId" button.
8a. The prompt should now be "Enter your OpenID:"
8b. Type in the URL of your Dreamwidth journal; in your case that would be "http://vilakins.dreamwidth.org"
8c. Click the "login" button.
8d. This will take you to Dreamwidth, which says that katspace.org wants to validate your dreamwidth identity, and "Do you want to pass your identity to them?"
8e. Click on either "Yes, just this time" or "Yes, always".
8d. This should then take you back to katspace.org; you will be logged in, and you can now fill in the author-sign-up page.
At which point in the above did you encounter problems?

What if I have a typo and want to edit my sign-up, or add another story idea before voting starts?
* Click on the "Edit" button on your author sign-up-info page.
* You may be prompted to log in if you haven't done so already. (see above)
* Then it will give you a form where you can update your sign-up information.
* Click on the "Save Page" button at the bottom to save your changes.
