Fics for the 2014 FIA D/G Exchange of Doom A-Go-Go

the fics are up
Yep, y’all, the complete list is UP for the 2014 FIA D/G Exchange of Doom A-Go-Go. šŸ™‚ (Okay, there are still 2 fics we didn’t get in, but at some point, you just have to move on. :P) And here it is!! (Hint: If there’s a Part ONE, that means there’s also a Part TWO. And maybe a Part Three. So in that case, what you’re going to do is to use the lovely FOWARD or BACK buttons on the top of the page. Depending on if, um, the mod posted the fic in the right order. šŸ˜‰ Then, keep reading.)

And do not forget to review. Because…

1.) The sheer joy of reviewing
2.) Whoever leaves the MOST reviews will get a special prize!!
3.) Don’t make me come over there with that Draco/Hermione/Gollum fic, because I WILL come over there. Nobody wants that, RIGHT??

Y’all, we need your nominations in within TWO WEEKS of today. That’s March 14th. That’s two weeks of reading and thinking about nominations. This would also be an ideal time to REVIEW those fics on LJ. And remember, you don’t need to be participant to REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW (and nominatenominatenominate, and vote vote vote… and maybe win the special prize… you get the idea.)

This year, we’re going to have everyone send in nominations by email. So many people don’t have LJ accounts now that it just makes more sense.So send those in to:

dgfics@gmail.com

Sempereademx has an AMAZING free prize for all participants. What you need to do is to email in your favorite Hogwarts house WITH your nomination. I’m really mulling over the idea of no nomination, no prize. That would not be good. We’ll also have t-shirts for the winner in each category, so please submit art if you would like– we need more designs!And don’t forget the special prize for whoever leaves the most reviews.

After nominations close, we will have one week of voting. Votes must be in by THREE weeks from today, which will be March 21st. One week later, we’ll announce winners and do the big reveal of authors! Even more yay!!

I think that’s everything… the evil computer erased the last version of this email, so I can’t be totally sure… but I think that’s it for now!

So read, read like the wind@!!

LIST OF DUE DATES:
March 14th: nominations must be in. Your choice of Hogwarts house on your participants’ prize must also be in. If you have art for the t-shirts, this is the due date too. Voting starts.
March 21st: Votes must be in.
March 28th: Announcements of winners and reveal of real authors. YAY to the ultimate power!!

Comments? Questions? Remarks? Email them all to me. And remember, it’s at dgfics@gmail.com

New Discussion Site for the OFIC Forums!

OFIC FORUMS

Hey all,

So Iā€™ve thought about this a lot. The ofic forum idea has been on my mind for about a year. And Iā€™ve never really done anything with it yet. Thereā€™s so much going on right now, including the D/G fic exchange (only 19 days left, people!!) But I realized something: there will never be a perfect time!! Or maybe right now is ALWAYS the perfect time. šŸ™‚ Sometimes you just need to carpe that diem.

What exactly IS an ofic forum? Itā€™s all explained right hereā€”and even a little bit about why itā€™s so important for the future of the D/G fandom. Whether youā€™re a writer, a reader, or both, you REALLY want to be involved with this. Iā€™ve decided to have the discussion board as part of the FIA forums, because theyā€™re already there and set up. So come and join in!

3 Weeks Left to Write Exchange Fic! And New Ginny Pic!

ginny 2_0Hey all,

So here’s a new Ginny concept I’ve been working on. What do y’all think? Ginny 1.0, or Ginny 2.0? 1.0 is the one you’ve been seeing, and this is 2.0. I’ll do another closeup render of 1.0, too.

And it’s 3 weeks to the day before the exchange fics are due! Yippee skippee! šŸ™‚

Anise

(poke poke) It’s time to write that exchange fic!

no draco and ginny today
So itā€™s now officially less than ONE month until exchange fics are due on January 26th!! Draco and Ginny are busy writingā€¦ so how about you? Theyā€™re doing really well on their fics, andā€”

(knock at door)

Just a minuteā€¦

Oh. Itā€™s that white van again, and they have the straightjackets this time. Bye!

(starts running)

And the D/G Exchange Writing Begins!!

Hey all,

So the picking of the prompts is CLOSED!! Well, all except for the two people haven’t sent in their picks yet, and Y’ALL KNOW WHO YOU ARE… SO SEND THEM IN. All of the prompts are sent out except for #5 and #13.

Now write, write like the wind! I’m very inspired by mine. šŸ™‚

LAST DAY OF PROMPT PICKING!!!

final_teddy_d and g between metal walls_03
Hey all,

This is THE VERY LAST DAY to pick your prompt for the D/G fic exchange. So if you’re one of the last holdouts (and you know who you are… well, if you’re reading this, you know who you are…)

DO EET.

See what Draco is going through? Don’t let this happen to you!!

Next to Last Day of Prompt Picking!!

final_dg beach sunset_01

So here it is, the penultimate day of prompt picking! That means that tomorrow is the LAST DAY. We WILL email anyone we haven’t heard from after tomorrow. So don’t make us come over there. šŸ˜‰

Day FOUR of prompt picking!!

DG contentment_02

Pretty much the same news as yesterdayā€¦ the number of prompts is dwindling fast! There are just two days left to pick yours, if you havenā€™t already. And hereā€™s the promised Part 2 of the ā€œD/G Contentmentā€ graphic strip. I think Iā€™m going to do more of the multi-parters.

Day THREE of prompt picking!

DG contentment_01

Iā€™ll tell yā€™all what, if you havenā€™t gotten over to the LJ yet to pick your exchange prompts, this is a GOOD time to do it. There are only three more days to pick, and while there are some prompts left, they are going fast. So head on over there and make your choice, if you havenā€™t already!

For more inspiration, hereā€™s the first of a two-part graphic series with Draco and Ginny. This entire thing might eventually develop into a graphic novel, for all I know. šŸ˜‰ Wow, I really worked on this one, and I’m still not totally happy with it. There were originally some horrible shadows that had to be taken out, and then the background wasn’t in the right focus, and etc etc and etc… oh, and Ginny’s skirt is HAND PAINTED BY ME.

(waits for applause)
(crickets chirp)
(tumbleweeds roll by)

Trust me, it took a lot of work. šŸ˜‰

P.S.: I still don’t know if anything can be recovered off that drive. Hopefully, there will be more news soon, and it’ll be good!

And the Prompts Are All UP!!

Hey all,

So the happy day is here, and all of the prompts are up on the LJ page!! It’s time to go over there and pick your prompt, and a few are already gone… so you do NOT want to wait on this one.

Just head on over to the LJ site, and as always, click on the pic above to get there.

And this really my absolute pic so far, in a weird way. šŸ˜‰
