What the hell, let's try another round.

Round 13 Sign-ups

As usual, please reply to this entry with the following info:

- What series (you can pick one or give me a couple) you'd like me to pick from for you this time
- What specific character(s) you'd want - if any
- What ship(s) you'd want - if any
(you probably ought to pick at least one character or pairing you want, or I'm assigning you something completely at random depending on what I feel like seeing)
- Anything you specifically DON'T want
- Any kind of overall preference you've got this time, or any offbeat mix ideas like a mix for a scene, a concept, a place, whatever - basically anything I should know or keep in mind when deciding what to assign you


Comments are screened so nobody but me sees them, and we have very few people actually making mixes these days, so it's virtually impossible for you NOT to get the mix you want (except for that one round where like 8 people all wanted some permutation of Nick, Adam, and/or Cassie - that was creepy, guys). As with last round, you can choose to "remix" a previous mix of your own making if you don't have anything new in mind but wish you could go back and update an old mix.

Sign-ups will go for a week, or longer if nobody bites.

Hey guys,

Please welcome [info]nsahdmdto! She seems quite nice and while she won't be doing too much mixing, she's eager to leave us all some feedback (OMG IT'S LIKE CHRISTMAS MORNING). ^_^

New round coming soon! I'm pretty much giving myself a bunch of time to leave feedback on these freaking mixes (they are good, guys, I just really haven't felt up to sitting down and going through them and feedbacking, because I suck), so by extension the rest of you get a little extra time to do that too.

Hey guys,

Before I start up a new round, how's everyone doing on feedback? I know I haven't left any on the past round yet, so I'm trying to get my shit together and DO THAT before I start another round, but how's everyone else doing? Anyone feeling left out of the feedback party? Anyone still need time to give feedback?

Okay [info]teinte and [info]constantreader7, I gave you both an extra WEEK to get your mixes in or contact me about needing extensions, and I've gotten absolutely zip from both of you, so you suck and you're outta here and why the hell do you jerks even sign up for this stuff if you're just going to not do jack shit? Where are your goddamn manners?

Everyone else, awesome job! There's no way I'm starting a new round over the holidays, so you have said holidays to leave comments on whatever you like!

Hey guys,

Just a reminder that you have about ONE WEEK to get your mixes in for this month. If you can't be done in a week, PLEASE let me know in advance.

TINIEST ROUND EVER! That's okay, I love you guys. Welcome back, [info]cathyrne! Since you just got your account back, I'll give you a few extra days to sign up if you wanted to (if you didn't, that's all good too). [info]constantreader7, I've approved you to join since you e-mailed me - you don't have to sign up for this round, but if you wanted to and missed the deadline, I'll give you a few extra days to sign up too (and like Cathy, it's okay if you wanna not do a mix this round).

But to all new peeps ([info]teinte, [info]silverrose33, [info]constantreader7), if you do nothing else this round, PLEASE comment on mixes. I cannot tell you how heartbreaking it is to approve a new person who seems genuinely excited to be here, only to have them just sit there and collect free music in silence. We do this for fandom community, for fun discussion, to see how other people view characters, to find new dimensions to our favorite songs, and sure, to get free cool music, but mostly for the fandom stuff.

And if you're having trouble with anything, PLEASE let me know. I'm a lot nicer to people who keep in touch with me and let me know they're still participating than people who drop off the face of the earth.

(But ALL of you should be leaving comments - I just have other ways of bugging the rest of you outside this community to make you do it.)

Assignments

[info]putana: You can do Keller, or a Galen/Keller mix, whichever comes more easily. We have already had a Keller mix, so G/K would be new territory, if that helps you make a decision.
[info]vedesca: Go ahead and do a Michael mix! I'm kind of excited to see where you go with it.
[info]teinte: We've had a lot of Forbidden Game mixes in the past few rounds, so I'd prefer it if you could do a Dark Visions series mix or a Gabriel/Kaitlyn mix this time around, and save the FG mixes for later rounds (don't worry, you'll definitely get to do them eventually if you still want to!).
[info]cathyrne: Oh honey, make the best Nilsson mix there ever was!
[info]constantreader7: Try your hand at a NightWorld series mix.

Aaand I'll be doing a Black John mix.

LAST CALL FOR SIGN-UPS.

I'll be doling out assignments on Saturday, so Friday's really your last day to sign up for this round. Meep. If you're not doing any mixes this time around but are still here, it would also be really nice of you to at least comment to THIS entry and let me know of your intention to comment on mixes that DO come out (not you, [info]pith, I already know ;p), so I know you're still around.

Well, I know some of you haven't caught up with mixes, and [info]teinte and [info]silverrose33 have been quiet for a while, so hopefully you guys are still active and out there and will leave feedback for people and stuff. If not, oh well, I've long since gotten used to deleting members at this point, so if I haven't heard anything from you by the end of the round in terms of feedback on mixes, off you go. ^_^

For the new people (and for those who need a refresher), sign up by replying to this post with your preferences. All comments are screened so only I can see them, so nobody's gonna "steal" your choice or anything childish like that. Comments should include the following:

- What series (you can pick one or give me a couple) you'd like me to pick from for you this time
- What specific character(s) you'd want - if any
- What ship(s) you'd want - if any
(you probably ought to pick at least one character or pairing you want, or I'm assigning you something completely at random depending on what I feel like seeing)
- Anything you specifically DON'T want
- Any kind of overall preference you've got this time, or any offbeat mix ideas like a mix for a scene, a concept, a place, whatever - basically anything I should know or keep in mind when deciding what to assign you

There aren't many members left who will actually be making mixes, so it's virtually impossible for you to NOT get your first choice if you have one - unless it's like that one round we had, where 3-4 of you all wanted to do a Nick mix or something.

I'm also adding a new allowance for this round: You can choose to "remix" a mix you've already done. I know I've found THE perfect song for a lot of my mixes right after I posted them, and other times I just wasn't feelin' the character I was mixing for at the time, so if you have enough songs to do a remix (some repeat songs are totally fine, but if you should probably have at least 1/2 of your mix be new songs so it's not practically the same mix all over again), you can opt to do that instead. Just let me know.

Aaaand GO!

We have a new member! Please welcome [info]teinte, only the second person EVER who was smart enough to e-mail me and introduce herself after applying to join, and who therefore passes the basic reading comprehension test and gets to join us. ^_^ Welcome!

Also, I WILL be starting the next round probably next week, so [info]silverrose33 and [info]violentviolette, please try to get caught up at least a little bit this week. Anyone who wants to make a mix in the upcoming round, start thinking about what you'd like to do. As usual, and especially now with our greatly reduced membership numbers, it is virtually impossible for you NOT to get your #1 choice, so... ya know.

Well, [info]silverrose33 is still working on commenting on mixes, and Miss Lee ([info]violentviolette) is rejoining us to do some of the same, so the next round will be extended a weeee bit more to give them some time. But I promise, there WILL be a next round coming! I haven't given up just yet. I just hope you guys are ready to actually participate when it does!

What would you guys say to doing another round right now? There aren't many of you left, so I can pretty much just ask who's available before even starting in on sign-ups. ^_^ And [info]silverrose33, how are you doing on catching up? I don't wanna get you swamped and so far behind that you can't possibly catch up.

Also:

Anyone applying to join this community will NOT be accepted UNLESS they also send me an e-mail telling me who they are and why they want to join, etc. If you have applied to join mixathon but HAVE NOT emailed me, your application WILL NOT be accepted. The ONLY exception to this is if you're a friend of a friend, in which case I will ask your friend whether or not they feel comfortable vouching for you. Otherwise, NO GO. This is a VERY simple rule, it IS written on the profile page that you have to do this, and I find it ridiculous that so many people can't seem to follow it. I have TRIED letting people in on faith, but it has NEVER WORKED, so no, never again. E-mail me or you don't get in. It's that simple.

Right then! We're back in business, the few, the proud, the people-who-actually-commented. People who got removed... well, you're welcome to try to appeal and get back in, but you'd better work really hard to convince me, that's all I'm sayin'. People who've contributed a lot in the past will be given more consideration than people who just kinda showed up and sat here, but I'm pretty fed up with you non-commenters after having given you all this time, so having been awesome in the past won't automatically get you back in in the present, even if I still love you to bits and pieces personally. I'm very good at compartmentalizing.

As for those of you still here... I'll give everyone some more time to catch up on comments, but new rounds will eventually begin, I promise.

This is your LAST REMINDER, everyone. If you haven't left a comment on a mix by the end of June 9th, I'll remove you from the community - again, that includes those of you that I've given rest periods, so [info]windiain and [info]lm, do please jump outta the woodwork for this one too, 'cause you will not be spared.

This project is now officially over.

All old mixes will be kept up for posterity. There will be no more rounds. Everyone has lost their posting access. No new members will be approved. Anyone who never contributed anything has been removed.

You guys really suck sometimes, you know that?

ONE WEEK LEFT to leave a comment on a mix, and nobody's done it yet. -_- If this keeps up, I may just end up shutting the community down rather than removing all but two people from it. So uh yeah, this is your reminder. Leave mix comment.

Wow, no new mix comments. Like, at all. Still. This is dire, you guys. So dire that it calls for the second ever "comment or be banishéd" decree.

So, that's really about it. Leave at least ONE good comment on a mix, any mix from any round that you haven't already commented on, in the next TWO WEEKS or I'm removing you. That makes your deadline April 21st. No working around this one. Seriously. I love most of you a lot, but this is getting ridiculous. [info]decidedly, I know you're in the middle of a big move, but please, just one comment, because you love me.

People who already commented this round are exempt, of course, so [info]putana and [info]pith, you are free from any pressure. Keep up the good work.

Just some miscellaneous stuff...

[info]savpixie, I've decided to let you in since most of us know of you from DP so you're not a complete stranger. Behave well, 'cause we've had a really crappy track record with letting people in without a reference, so you could be the first to maybe break that curse.

Everyone else, the next round will probably not happen until about next-month-ish, because I'm really swamped this semester (although I've got a fuckton of mixes almost finished and ready to go at all times, really, I just need time to polish them up) and because I know some of you ([info]decidedly in particular) are pretty swamped with stressful stuff too right now and want to mix but can't. Others of you, well, I dunno where the hell you've disappeared to anyway, so you're not even part of my equation, but if you don't wanna be deleted on the magical day when I snap and remove anyone who hasn't been contributing at least semi-regularly, I would suggest at least leaving some good comments on mixes to let me know you actually want/deserve to be here. To those of you who want another round but just can't work up the time/energy to do a full mix, I do have a very low-maintenance idea for next round, so even those of you who are really swamped should find the next round very easy to pull off.

And now I'm off to catch up on comments myself.

All right, I waited as long as I could for stragglers, but here's what we've ended up with for this round!

[info]decidedly: As requested, Adam!
[info]putana: Go ahead and do that Rashel mix from last time. If you have time left over, you can try for Stefan too.
[info]vedesca: Hi! Gillian's all yours.

Woo. What a turnout. >_>

Anyway, since there are so few people participating, I will, like last time, do whatever the hell I want. Maybe it'll be a Black John mix! Maybe Jenny's grandpa! Maybe soulmates! Maybe Stefan! Maybe I'll remix my old Katherine mix, since it never saw daylight over here, only on my personal journal! Who knows.

Mixes are due on March 03.
