MERLIN HOLIDAYS ARE GO

Sign ups for both writers and artists are open!

GO HERE TO SIGN UP

Comprehensive Guide to Sign Ups

If you're proxying for a writer, just comment below.

If you're an artist, you go outside the 40 writer limit, so you don't really need a proxy ^^

ETA: ALL SIGN-UPS ARE NOW CLOSED! PARTICIPANTS WILL RECEIVE ASSIGNMENTS NO LATER THAN MONDAY 9/29.

The site would not work for me :( Am I the only one with this issue?

[merlin-hols.livejournal.com]

It seems to work for me. What kind of issues are you having?

[bunnysworld.livejournal.com]

somehow none of this works for me. if the spaces are not all gone yet, i'd like to play. will try again once i'm home and on a computer, not my cell... :(

[merlin-hols.livejournal.com]

still plenty of room. What's not working/what's happening when you try?

[gwylliondream.livejournal.com]

I successfully signed up \o/

The site was very slow and I received a pop up that said there was a long-running script. I clicked the box to disable the script and it worked much better.

I took full advantage of tags, but I got an error message that informed me that "Magic Reveal" was not an allowable canon tag. Ah, well, I omitted that one and my submission was processed without further complication.

Like all new things, this new registration process will take some fine tuning.

Thanks to the mods for putting it all together.

<3

[merlin-hols.livejournal.com]

Yes, it seems AO3 is/was having issues for some reason or another.

Ah yes, that's because the tag isn't called "magic reveal" on A03 it's either called "Magic Revealed" or "Arthur Finds Out" so try one of those instead :) Also check our list of additional tags linked in the sign up guide, as that one lists all the tags as they exist in AO3's systems :)

[aeris444.livejournal.com]

I've done it but quite hastily since I'm a work now. Can I still edit my prompts later today?

[merlin-hols.livejournal.com]

Yes, you can edit your prompts until sign-ups close on Thursday.

[clea2011]

I didn't have any problems signing up, or I don't THINK I did... But what is the Join button for? Do we need to join as well?

[merlin-hols.livejournal.com]

Not sure what the Join button is for, to be honest! But you don't need to join in order to sign up, so don't worry about it. :-D

[captainlogic.livejournal.com]

the link did work for me, but man alive is AO3 finicky!! drove me crazy but, despite being totally convinced I've done something wrong in my sign-up, I did manage to submit!! so so sorry if I did enter something wrong! Im CaseyStar over on AO3!

[merlin-hols.livejournal.com]

Yay! You're signed up, but it looks like you're missing the tags for type of work and era. When you get a chance, please edit your sign-up to add the required tags (see the sign-up guide linked above for a walk-through).

[argentsleeper.livejournal.com]

I had Firefox crash four times, but it worked eventually!

[merlin-hols.livejournal.com]

Hurray! It looks like Yuletide nominations also started this morning, which explains why AO3 is being a bit persnickety.

[eurydice72.livejournal.com]

I think I've got it all! I'm so glad I had everything in a file ahead of time so I could just copy and paste most of it. Thank you for all your hard work!

[merlin-hols.livejournal.com]

YAY glad you've got everything in!

[flammablehat.livejournal.com]

Hello! I'm here to do a proxy - sophinisba is signing up and will be able to fill in her sign up form by 9 PM Eastern tonight. ^_^

[merlin-hols.livejournal.com]

Thanks, we have sophinisba down for a writer slot.

[hopeisathreat.livejournal.com]

This is probably cheating and I'm pretty sure it won't work but I don't have anyone to sign up for me and I'm stuck on my phone and I tried filling in the AO3 Form three times but it keeps deleting it and never sending the information so I wondered if I could, like hold a spot free for myself with this comment??? I'd fill in the AO3 Form the precise moment I get home ;________;

if not then well I guess I'm just out of my luck and I'll have to bin my bloody phone.

[merlin-hols.livejournal.com]

No problem, you have a spot! Just sign up as soon as you can

[vix-spes.livejournal.com]

I'm having huge issues with the sign-up on my phone as I'm at work. If there are spaces left can I use this as a proxy and I can complete my sign-up by 11pm BST tonight?

[merlin-hols.livejournal.com]

No worries, we'll hold a spot for you.

[lullabylily.livejournal.com]

Hi, I have to work late tonight, can you keep a slot for me? I will have enough time tomorrow, at least before 10pm GMT... Thanks!

[merlin-hols.livejournal.com]

A slot is yours. :-)

[x-disturbed-x.livejournal.com]

Are there any spots left? I can't seem to sign up and tried on my phone around ten this morning but it wouldn't let me. :(

[merlin-hols.livejournal.com]

Yes, we have a few spots left! We'll hold one for you. AO3's having a rough day, but it should clear up soon.

[scotscookie.livejournal.com]

Can't believe I forgot... Just signed up - hope there's still a spot for me :o(

[merlin-hols.livejournal.com]

You got it! But when you get a chance, could you please review the tagging instructions and edit your sign-up? You're missing some required tags. :-)

[sassafrasx.livejournal.com]

So sorry to bother, just wanted to check that my proxy comment for rotrude earlier was received!

[merlin-hols.livejournal.com]

All is well!

[gilli-ann.livejournal.com]

I have unfortunately been unable to complete the AO3 sign-up today, but would appreciate a writer's spot if there's still one left. I will finish the proper sign-up by Wednesday at the latest.

[corilannam.livejournal.com]

We have saved a spot for you!

[fleete.livejournal.com]

If there's still a writer spot left, can I claim it? I had a question for the mods I was trying to work out, but I'll go ahead and post my sign-up.

[corilannam.livejournal.com]

Yes! The last spot is yours! Take it! LOL

And we're happy to answer any questions.

[spacealtie.livejournal.com]

Am I too late ?
/crying
Or is there a place left for a fanartist, since, and I quote, "we are outside the 40 writer limit" ?
Please please please please please !
