Small Fandoms Bang

As of this moment, everyone who has signed up as an author, artist, cheerleader or beta should have received an invitation to our support community, smallfandomcafe. If you have not received an invitation please let me know as soon as possible so that I may rectify that.

Not sure how to check your invites? It's on your My Invites page: from the menu: Communities/My Invites, or direct url: http://www.livejournal.com/manage/invites.bml.

Also, we have some unaccepted/outstanding invites, so please be sure to head on over to your My Invites page and accept the invitation to smallfandomcafe. It’s important that you make sure you are watching both communities so that you get all announcements on your f-list.

Thank you, and I apologize in advance if there was any mix-up and you didn't receive your invitation.

ETA: Apparently invites expire after 30 days, so if you signed up early on and hadn't accepted your invite, it's gone now. Let me know so I can send you another one. Thanks.

Round Two is scheduled to open for sign-ups on September 1 (the full estimated schedule for this round can be found on the community profile), but before that happens I wanted to give those of you who participated in our last round a chance to offer suggestions to make our second round an even more enjoyable experience. I’m especially interested in knowing whether the time frame allotted for writing and art in the schedule was deemed too much or too little, and whether the Author sign-up period was too long. (There’s still time to tweak the schedule!)

Also, I wanted to let you know that we have made some changes that will not be negotiable. This is because we learned some hard lessons last round. For example, we’ve instituted a check-in for Artists prior to the claim post going up so we have a more accurate count of participating Artists (rather than relying on the sign-ups only to discover that many Artists forgot about us after signing up). We have also made all check-ins mandatory. (I don’t want to have to send out 80 e-mails again to Authors we haven’t heard from. That was not fun.)

And there are some changes that will serve to make things easier for us (just me now!) when it comes to administrative-behind-the-scenes stuff, such as using a form for sign-ups so it builds the spreadsheet automatically instead of me having to add everyone manually.

I’ve revised the community FAQ to clarify/add the new rules. Please take a look at it, and if you have any questions you may ask them there or bring them here.

All comments to this post will be screened.

Thank you for participating last round, and for helping me make our next round an even better experience!

(P.S. As you can see I also changed the font size on the entries because, lordy, that smaller font was tough to read! *g*)
