Sign-ups open

[yvi]

It took longer than I expected, but sign-ups for Yuletide 2010 are open.

This year, you must choose 3 or 4 different fandoms for your requests (no more requesting twice for one fandom) and you can only offer up to 10 fandoms. In return, matching is supposed to only take a day or so and you can offer and request categories and the algorithm will try to also match that. Here is a helpful video, and the second part of the helpful video for the sign-up process.

The AO3 is under a lot of stress right now, so I suggest that if you can wait a while longer, do so (I filled out my request and 4 of my offers with 'any' characters and saved that, since I figure the autocomplete tags thing is a lot of strain on the servers. Since AO3 will let you edit sign-ups I'll just go back and refine my offers and add the missing ones on Monday or so)

Yuletide AO3 list by category

(This is a copy of and entry made to my journal yesterday)

So, I was in Yuletide chat today (I kind of managed to, er, lose my voice... it started yesterday evening and was better this morning, but I was pretty much without speaking capabilities around noon), and elf put up a sorted list of Yuletide fandoms ordered by genre, but that has the nominated names and not the AO3 names and so I got the idea that I could parse the final list with a bit of Python and...

Things happened.

Warning: This is a long list. And might contain a few fuck-ups. I didn't really look through all the results.

Also, because of AO3 conventions, this is less helpful for book fandoms, as they are sorted by book title, not by author names. If you are looking for sorting by author name, elf's version will be a lot more helpful.

(Yes, there are formating errors and I forgot Python sorts strings case-sensitive. But I really don't have the time to go through the list and cross-reference (or fix my program - hey, I am allowed to be a lazy programmer from time to time). If anyone wants to tackle it, feel free, I can edit the entry whenever I am online)
