Dear Innumerable Stars Author,
Hi there! I hope you are excited about both the exchange and your assignment! I am eager to see what you create!
This year's signup was done in a hurry - this summer has been non-stop from beginning to end.
Unlike past rounds, I don't really have prompts, just vague ideas and 'that sounds good'. If there's anything you're concerned about or want to run by me before you get too into writing, feel free to comment here - I have comment screening on. (I'm not fussed about anonymous or not, as a mod, I know who matched with me.) As far as ratings go, I will read whatever you're moved to write.
The DNWs are less because I never read them, than because I either need to be in a particular mood to read them, or because works them are very hit or miss for me. I don't want you putting your creative energy into something that will be anywhere from a toss-up to a long shot if I like it, or that I will only voluntarily read on a rainy day in November. (Just to be clear, I'm not saying my reading quirks make any sense whatsoever. Only that I have them and I'm doing my best to steer you clear of them.)
Finally, I would deeply appreciate if you could focus more on the good times and flashes of happiness and less on the angst and awfulness. I'm not asking for pure fluff, but please no dark/downer endings or "everyone dies". Eucatastrophe is good.
( DNWs )( Likes )As I said above, I don't really have solid prompts this year, just handwavery. I'm also going to list Worldbuilding tags for some of them, because there were so many good ones and so few allowed on the AO3 form...
( Request 1 - Silmarillion )( Request 2 - Smith of Wootton Major )( Request 3 - Crossovers )( Request 4 - The Hobbit (book) )( Request 5 - Lord of the Rings (books) )
