50th Anniversary Fanwork-a-thon-a-thon, Round Six: Six

(Secondary prompt: The Time Lords)


The fifth round is still in progress, but already signups have begun for the sixth in [community profile] who_at_50's series of monthly fanwork-a-thons counting down to the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who. Six is the Doctor under consideration this month; orator, actor, bon viveur, trendsetter... And in light of the fact that they put him on trial for his existence, it seemed apt for June's secondary prompt to examine the Time Lords, in all of their heroic, villainous, godlike, ineffectual, indifferent, meddling glory, all ten million years of it. If you have any interest at all in Doctor Who fanwork, I urge you to take the time to look at the signup posts on the comm...and if it takes your fancy be sure to reply to them!

Remember - all fanworks of whatever form are more than welcome!

(For some California local definition of 'morning'!)

About 30 minutes ago one of our databases (sb-db03) locked up and stopped serving traffic. This was an active database, so the site quickly stopped when it could no longer serve requests. Alas.

I have failed us over to a backup database and now everything should be working again.

I'm not sure yet what happened to db03, but am currently investigating and will update this post if I come up with a root cause for the problem. Edit: It's back up and doesn't have any visible problems. Disks are fine, data's intact, etc. The graphs and logs show nothing. We'll have to keep an eye on it and see if it manifests further issues.

Sorry for the trouble, please let me know if you still see any problems!

Rules and FAQ | Party post | Bang sign up post | Opt-in post for remixing | Contact a mod


[community profile] ante_up_losers is hosting a big bang - with a twist.

This big bang is not fic only. Anyone can create any large piece and submit it as a bang work.

That's right - any type of work can be a big bang. Art, podfic, rec sets, meta, picspams - the list goes on and on. If you can think it up, you can do it in a big bang way! Size requirements for the media we could think of are listed here, but if we didn't mention a type of fanwork you'd like to make as a big bang, please Contact A Mod and we can discuss size and submission requirements.

In addition - we want all the big bangs to have rewards for their work, so there will be complementary pieces as well. Complements may also be any sort of fanwork. From fic to poetry to meta to comics to podfic to graphics and anything else you can think of. Size requirements for the complements are listed here. Again, if we haven't mentioned a type of fanwork you'd like to make as a complement, please Contact A Mod and we can discuss size and submission requirements.

Finally, to round out the teams, we are recruiting enthusiasm experts. If you enjoy being a Beta, a cheerleader, a whipcracker, an Alpha or any other type of random squee generator, efficiency expert, or general helper, we want you to join in the fun and help our teams get all those glorious fanworks completed!

Please check out the party post to see the ideas that have been flying around, or to add your on ideas/bang/complement/cheerleading offer. If you want to do a bang, the bang sign-ups are live, so you can go right ahead and post! Complement and cheerleader sign-ups will begin next week, so we can make sure all the teams have complements.

Come and join in the fun!
