Final Deadline Reminder

We're getting down to the wire—as of this post, you have about 19 hours to post your fic. Specifically, you have until October 20th, 23:55 UTC (Countdown). Make sure you post your fic to the AO3 collection, which will remain unrevealed until reveals day: October 21st, 00:01 UTC. The collection will not close on reveals day, but will be left open until the end of the week (Sunday), meaning that you can add your fic to it until then! I encourage you to take advantage of this if you need a little more time.

I'll make another post on the comm when the collection is revealed, with a round-up of all the fics we've written for Launch the Ship, Round Three!

Deadline Reminder: 10 Days

Hope the writing is going well! This is just a reminder that you have a little more than 10 days to post your fic. Specifically, you have until October 20th, 23:55 UTC (Countdown). Once you've finished writing your fic, you can post it to the AO3 collection, which will remain unrevealed until reveals day: October 21st, 00:01 UTC. Read the section "How does the AO3 collection work?" in the FAQs for more information.

It’s that time of year again!

Have you fallen for a ship with 0 fics? Have you even thought about writing it but decided there was no point?

Launch the Ship is a multifandom challenge to write the first fic for a ship! It provides a friendly little community during what can often be a lonely voyage.

All you need to do is choose a ship with 0 fics, and complete a fic for it before the deadline, Oct 20. Everything else is optional—although the event info is hosted on Dreamwidth, you don't even need a Dreamwidth account. So let's set sail, shall we?

Sign-ups for Round 3 are OPEN!

One Week!

The dates of this fest have been adjusted to better fit my schedule, so sign-ups are now set to open Sunday, August 15th. As such, we have one week until we begin launching those ships! Start thinking about what you hope to write or see others write. I hope you'll take part. Feel free to spread the word about the fest to friends or by reblogging/retweeting, too.
