Volunteers who want to cheerlead will be assigned an author or artist (or more than one, if you dare!) to encourage across the duration of the Season of Writing Dangerously. We absolutely encourage participating writers and artists to cheerlead as well. As a cheerleader, you will support your assigned author or artist in whatever way you two decide. This might include brainstorming for ideas over email, sending encouraging notes, or providing support over chat as the writer or artist works toward a particular goal.
Cheerleaders will also receive a banner at the end of the event.
Authors and artists who want the support of a cheerleader will be matched with a cheerleader who shares their interests and preferred modes of communication. Please sign up on this post or contact the mods if you're unable to leave LJ comments for whatever reason. Simply copy the text below and fill in your own answers for the **starred text.**

What genre are you most interested in cheerleading? **examples: romance, gen, slash, adventure, AU, et cetera**

What's the maximum rating that you'd be willing to cheerlead? **General, Teens, or Adult**
Do you have the time to cheerlead just one author? If not, how many are you willing to cheerlead? **YES or NO and number**
Other comments: **if you have any strong likes or dislikes or other preferences, list them here--please be sparing!**
We'll do our best to match up participants with cheerleaders who share their interests. However, we ask understanding in the (likely) event that we can't achieve 100% perfect matches.

What genre are you most interested in cheerleading? No special preferences; I'll only say that I am not a fan of hobbits.

Do you have the time to cheerlead just one author? If not, how many are you willing to cheerlead? YES, I'm afraid. I wouldn't want to try more, and then see that I can't do it because I don't have enough time. So, just one author.
Other comments: As I mentioned, I am not so crazy about hobbits (sorry, hobbit fans :) ). My favorite LorT character is Boromir.
And I would have never remembered mpreg, had not the others before me mentioned it. Even fictional worlds have some physics-, biology- and other laws, and mpreg is biologically impossible. I have a scientific mind, so please, no mpreg for me.

How would you like to cheerlead? Email, LJ, YIM/AIM/gmail chat are all fine
What genre are you most interested in cheerleading? Any genre
What time period are you most interested in cheerleading? First Age, non-Akallabeth related 2nd Age...but these are just the periods I'm *most* interested in, I'm willing to cheer for any time period. :)

Do you have the time to cheerlead just one author? If not, how many are you willing to cheerlead? Just one is best, but could possibly do two.
Other comments: Like mentioned above, my own interests/"expertise" (term applied lightly!) tend to lie in Elf, especially Finwean-centric fic (no surprise there I'm sure), but I'm happy to be sold on any story. I just might not be as useful where brainstorming for e.g. hobbit stories is concerned, but I'll try my best!

Are you willing to cheerlead authors in other timezones? Absolutely.
How would you like to cheerlead? LJ or Dreamwidth would likely be most convenient, but MSN/Y!M/AIM/Gtalk works just fine, too. E-mail is probably doable if necessary.
What genre are you most interested in cheerleading? Gen, slash, drama, AU... actually, anything except horror.

What's the maximum rating that you'd be willing to cheerlead? Anything.
Do you have the time to cheerlead just one author? If not, how many are you willing to cheerlead? Just one, I think.
Other comments: I'm a little adverse to mpreg or heavy kink. Also, I seem to have become mostly elf-centric, but I can certainly try to help with things focussing on anyone/anything else, too.

Date: 2011-07-08 08:00 am (UTC)Due to a very complicated family situation after my father-in-law's death, I'm afraid I have to revise my offer. I'm going to be able to cheerlead only one fellow writer. My apologies.
