Final Fantasy Exchange 2010 is on the way. We've officially announced we're moving over to An Archive of Our Own, which makes us really happy because the tools, the tools, I cannot express how much I want them to make out with make our jobs as mods easier. I am still not quite sure how we managed the first round (luck!) and I believe we knew we were asking for trouble with the second (ack) but we did it anyway and learned that, nope, we are definitely not superheroes and we have to sleep—or else! AO3 is exciting but what I am REALLY FUCKING STOKED about is our form!

OUR SIGN-UP FORM.

There's nothing to show yet, but damn it's going to be awesome. So all the scary spreadsheets of doom Ira and Sev made by hand...I can't even imagine the time it's going to save us by automating that process. Perhaps matching will go from "trial by fire" to "trial by water balloon filled with AWESOME".

I can hope!

Basically, I wish sign-ups opened tomorrow, because I am so stoked. I should use this energy to write some Chocobo Down, but watch, I will use it instead of quiver in excitement and squee at people.

Mod fail. XD

I have three invitations to AO3, if anyone wants one, although it's not hard to wait for an account. FFEX! In less than two months! It is not too early to get excited! \o/

*sparkles*

Yay for having a DW mirror community! That way I won't have to remember to go check on LJ again. XD

Yeah, we debated on outreached, but chose LJ/DW as a home base, plan to heavily market our RSS feed, and hopefully it will tempt people in!

Taking my mod hat off, one of my biggest concerns in 2009 was the loss of a lot of people who took part 2007—because they left LJ. I worry, a lot, about fannish drift in our fandom, that's never really been cohesive anywhere. You can't argue for LJ so much–it's always been dwarfed by FFnet, forums, and the scattering of FF fans to the four corners of the internets in a multitude of archives. I hope the exchange being on one archive that's multi-fannish will help us to build a closer community of FF fans. <3
