multificI did say that I'd run another Lyric Wheel in January-February, so I'd better do that; expect the proper announcement very soon. A few things to note and/or comment on:
- this is going to overlap with the RemixRedux ficathon. Sorry, can't help it, it's earlier this year than I thought.
- because Remix is increasing its word-count to 1000, I thought I'd decrease our word-count to 500. Is that okay with everyone?
- I'm hoping to start the sign-ups this week, the assignments next week, the due date 6 or 8 weeks from that. I'm inclined to make it 6 weeks, so that there's less overlap with Remix. After all 500 words in 6 weeks should be okay, even if you have another ficathon running, right?
(Edited to Add:) I'm also intending that people list fandoms they're interested in, so that I can do non-random matching this time. The idea is that participants will list fandoms they can write and fandoms they're interested in, and I will use that to try to match requests with writers. However, since I don't expect that many participants, it probably won't be possible to have perfect matches, so I also don't intend for writers to be compelled to write in the given fandoms, but it would be nice for them to try.
