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)

I did mine while most of North America was sleeping, which seemed to help somewhat. \o/ Tweaks are definitely gonna have to wait until they go back to sleep, though!

Have you or anyone else noticed that not all your fandoms (requested/offered) have migrated through to the summary page? Over the past few hours, some of mine have, but not all -- I'll stop refreshing now that the timezones are making it busier -- but as they're all listed on my signup I hope that they will eventually just migrate through to that page...

Sign-ups opened pretty much half an hour after I had to leave for my 4-hour train ride this morning (or so I figured - I don't know when exactly they started, but I was in Yuletide chat and things were very close to being opened), so signing up before the US was awake didn't wuite happen. I'll just lean back and see whether anyone offers the fandoms I requested now :)

And I think I may have replied to you on LJ :D

Ah-ha, I was just editing my comment to say that you replied to me on LJ, but it wouldn't let me as you'd just replied here. Heh. I think that might be it indeed, thank you!
