Signups: Check your AO3 email + Rules reminder

[koraki]

Hello doodlers!

The 2021 signup deadline is fast approaching so make sure to get any last minute edits in by 11:59 PM UTC today! 

There are two important announcements as we come up to the signups deadline: 

1. If your AO3 username begins with the letter A or the letter C, please check the email associated with your AO3 account as soon as possible today.

There are currently two signups that violate the rules because they have not requested or offered the required number of different fandoms. All participants must request and offer the required minimum number of different fandoms so that there is a higher likelihood of finding a match for everybody. 

An email was sent yesterday detailing the changes that must be made to these signups. These signups have 24 hours from the time of the email to make the requested changes. Otherwise, these signups will be deleted. 

 

2. Please remember that style- and medium-related DNWs* are not enforceable, per the rules:

You are encouraged to list any stylistic preferences you have, and artists are encouraged to take these into account. Due to ambiguity, style- and medium-related DNWs will not be enforced (e.g. "DNW traditional art", "DNW CalArts style", "DNW anime style"). 

If you have chosen to include style- or medium-related DNWs in your signup anyway, you will not receive a mod email and your signup is not in danger of being deleted. However, please be aware that style-related DNWs will not be enforced due to ambiguity. Should your creator choose to give you a doodle that you feel is counter to a style- or medium-related DNW you listed, you will not be eligible to receive a backup gift or be sent out as a PH. 

*Accessibility-related DNWs that are clearly defined and unambiguous to moderate such as "DNW use of blur filters", "DNW use of the eye strain/trigram color palette", or "DNW gifs or animated/moving elements" do not fall under this category and will be enforced. 

Please comment here or email multifandomdoodle@gmail.com with any questions or concerns! 

Signups closed

[koraki]

Signups for Multifandom Doodle 2021 are now closed, with 73 total participants. Hooray! 

After generating potential matches, there are a few participants who may need to add offers in order to be matchable to a recipient. If your AO3 username begins with B, G, J, R, or S, please keep an eye on the email associated with your AO3 username for the next few hours in case a mod reaches out. 

Unmatchable participants who don’t respond to a request to add offers by 11 PM UTC on November 15 will be assigned at random to a recipient who requested Creator’s Choice of Fandom(s) so that assignments can be sent on time.

A post will be made to this comm when assignments are sent out tomorrow. Thank you all for signing up!
