MyOldFandom sign-ups extended
The mod for ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
myoldfandom has extended sign-ups until noon on Monday, March 28 (because Easter Triduum observances might interfere with sign-ups for some).
At this time, I see few requests that I could fill, myself: a D&DC request for a no name, no lines, spear-bearer character (sadly, no other options); an HL request that seems to have listed Duncan/Tessa by mistake (the details specify that the requester wants only slash or gen); HL's Richie or Cierdwyn for ArgentumLS (I don't dare offer Duncan or Darius; the requests show that people want what I can't give); and maybe, if I stretch hard, the Tron (1982) request.
I'm still considering playing. But I'm a bit concerned.
I'm starting to think that I should instead see whether people might be up for some sort of mini events. For example, "If Malinaldarose will write me BSG78, I'll write her... something she wants." ;-) Okay, so that's where it always breaks down, at every scale, finding people who can write what the others want to read. I should probably follow PJ's lead...

no subject
After specifying "Joe/Methos slash" and other things in the details, the requester wrapped up, without otherwise mentioning Tessa: "or any combination of the individuals in Gen." There's no letter linked for context. ~shrug~
You're right that it may be a definitional conflict! In the '90s, I first learned "gen" as meaning "everything except erotica" (regardless of het or slash; and we didn't yet use the term "het"!). That may have been an FK-specific experience: the FKFic-L email list and FTP archive for what was then called "gen," on the one hand, and the JADFE group for erotica, on the other.
:-) It's been a looooong time since I've bumped into that definition, though. :-)
