To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.

We're starting afresh with new profiles for the new year.
The old profiles thread had more than 300 posts in it which...was a lot to keep track of. ;D

Just double checking. ^.^

Quote from: Britwitch on January 22, 2023, 01:28:46 PMNext, between the 25th and 30th of the month (or thereabouts), sign up in the current Monthly Sign Up thread by posting a link back to the profile post you made in this thread.

The current monthly sign-up thread linked was last active in October of 2020. Is that still the place to sign-up? ^.^ Just wanted to verify the old link wasn't attached by accident or something. There doesn't appear to be a "Reply" button available in this one either. =] New to the Lottery so maybe the monthly sign-up thread just isn't open yet? ^.^ Of so, sorry! =]

The sign up thread for January will be going up later today! ;D
(Yesteray got away from me for a variety of reasons sadly)

I joined! Thanks for this cool idea! I've been wanting to write since my return but had not been found compulsion to write a request thread! Im looking forward to this!

Rustic

It'll be fun to give this another try. :) I have much more range since back then.

I thought I would give it a try to at least attempt to dust off my writing skills.

Hope I can even get paired up with someone. lol

My writing style has evolved so much over the years I was gone, I made a short return in 2020/2021 but medical things got in the way, I have been so apprehensive about making a request thread. I haven't been able to commit to independent idea plots, so I feel like this will be a nice way to meet someone new and slip back into the swing of things around here. :) I look forward to plotting with one of you!!!

I’m so excited! Do they announce it on the first? Is it a public post or private DMs are sent to the pairings? I don’t believe I read it.

Not sure. This will be my first foray as well. ^.^ I'm sure we'll find out soon! =]

QuoteOnce we have all the participants we will announce the partnerships during the first week of the following month.

The quote is from the first post here. Pairings should be announced on the first post of the registration topic, there is a placeholder space reserved for them.
The Midnight Lodge (O2 thread & completed tales compendium)
Thy Nightly Chambers (requests) updated!
Amazonia Mythos (world-building details for some of my recurring themes and characters; can always serve as a starting point for discussions of collaborative writing)
Zerzura (albeit short, the best collaborative story I've ever completed here)

midnightblack is right, you'll find the partnerships listed in the sign up thread once they're done and I'll post in this thread as well to let you know when that is!

And they are usually posted within a week of the draw closing as it does take a little time to get everyone checked and matched up ;D

Thank you and Britwitch, I hadn't caught it when I was scanning through the three threads! My bad.  :-)
