Hello Apocalyptothon fans, Cait here. Are you ready to destroy some worlds?!

I plan to run the challenge just like soundingsea and apocalypsos did last time. That means we will be using Archive of Our Own again ( Read more... )

Sorry if this is a 'duh' question, but I'm new to this ^^;
Does a merging of worlds, which does include some destruction, count for an apocalypse?

Yes, it certainly does! You can destroy your world (or worlds) any way you want to.

I don't really see a way to do it this year. I know some other fests and fic exchanges open it up to artwork, but this being my first year as a moderator, I'm still learning the ropes. If I did allow it, the only way I see it to work is you would get a story (of course) and then whoever you are matched to do artwork for, I also have to match someone to do a story for them, too. Since it is a FIC exchange, I want everyone to have a story. Artwork would just be a bonus.

Oh, this sounds amazing!

Edit: Are you doing the voting system to determine fandoms like last year's?

Yes. I will be posting something about that either Sunday or Monday.

Haven't seen anything yet. Did I blink and miss it? Also, I looked it up on AO3 and it doesn't look like nominations are going yet...unless, of course, I didn't look properly, which is a distinct possibility.

This sounds interesting! Considering that I'm prone to destroying things...several planets and eight billion lives snuffed out by a supernova. Lots more ideas for large-scale world-i-cide, too!

So first a question to our moderator: are we allowed to write in 'verses that are already apocalyptic? Or is the idea to raze some other 'verse to the ground? Are there limits to the size of the fandom, or is that wide-open? Okay, so that was two or three questions. Because there are three kinds of people in the world: those who can count; and those who can't.

Next question, for me anyway, is whether I'll have time and attention to devote to it this summer. Already waist-deep in the "Not Ready For Prime Time" exchange.
