Round 3 Fandoms Announced!
Okay folks, here we go! Thanks to special vid-herding assistance from sweetestdrain, we've got a TERRIFIC lineup coming at you in Round 3!
Black Books
Dead Like Me
Eureka
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Legend of the Seeker
Little Mosque on the Prairie
My Neighbor Totoro
Primeval
Revenger's Tragedy
The Lair
Twin Peaks
(Are you as excited as I am? I might wet my pants.)
Quick reminder of how this works! I ask for Grokkers now, then next week you'll sign up to be Strangers. (It's up to you to decide if you want to do either or both.) The Grokker poll will close Wednesday night (7/1). I will send out assignments by Friday. The Stranger sign-up poll will be posted Monday (7/6) and run until Sunday (7/12). I'll send out assignments a day or two after that. You then have several weeks to put your synopses together. [full schedule is here] If you need further clarification of the process, please see the FAQ or drop me a comment here.
For those of you who have participated in previous rounds, here are 3 tiny, tiny changes this time around:
1) Only 11 fandoms this time (instead of 12) -- 10 live action and 1 anime. The anime fandom does not require download from amv.org.
2) Each fandom will only utilize one vid each for our purposes. With streaming on the outs and bandwidth/time issues always a concern, I figured one was enough.
3) There is a troll on the loose, so there won't be any more anonymous commenting on synopsis posts. All this means is if someone compliments your Strangering, you won't be able to reply to that comment directly (remaining anonymous, as the rules dictate). Not a huge deal, but worth mentioning.
So! Want to help us out and Grok? Sign-up! (NOTE: this is NOT the sign-ups for Strangering! That happens next week!)
Poll Round 3 Grokker Sign-ups!
As you know, the project works best the more people we get involved. Please go forth and pimp, pimp, pimp! Let's make Round 3 the best one yet! \o/
