Promotion and Pinch Hitting for DOINK! 2011
As signups roll along, we're hoping to particularly encourage more participants from smaller and farther-flung corners of Final Fantasy fandom -- so if you know anyone from places we haven't been able to reach as well, we'd be totally grateful if you could drop them a line! We have handy banners and our front page contains links and explanatory text =D
But that's not the only way you and your friends an help! Besides spreading the word, there's another really important way to help make the exchange a success -- pinch hitting!
Pinch Hitting for DOINK! 2011
This year, we have a new pinch hitting system that will hopefully last us a while and make it even easier to volunteer -- we've set up a mailing list specifically for pinch hitters. You can join the list here. You have complete control in this list and can join/leave as you wish. The subscriber list is protected.
You don't need to be a DOINK! participant - regular or beta volunteer - to be a pinch hitter, but you do need an AO3 account (just send us an e-mail and ask for an invite, or join the queue).
Here's how it works: moderators will send pinch-hit requests to the list and anyone is free to claim them. Claims are first-come, first served! Confirmation will be sent to the volunteer who was the quickest draw, and an alert will be sent to the list itself letting everyone know the hit's been claimed. Pinch hits often do go fast, so be on your toes! Accepting a pinch hit means you agree to our basic guideline policy for fanwork, which you can find on our Walkthrough. You will also be assigned an upload deadline.
We absolutely appreciate all the awesome folks who help us out with pinch hitting, especially at the end of the round. Thanks to everyone already signed up and to any future volunteers. ♥
