I know I said this would be up by Sunday, but I figured no one would complain about being able to access it a few days early. The sign-up will be open from now until Saturday, November 11th. If anything in these forms make no sense to you, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Each form should take about 5-15 minutes depending on how detailed you want to get.

F.A.Q. under the cut:
What is the timeline again?
Here is the whole schedule post. But short version, sign-ups will close on November 11th, claims will be Saturday Nov. 18th and then everything will be posted on Saturday, January 27th.
What form do I fill out?
If you are going to write fic, click the author one. If you are going to make art, click the artist one. Beta readers, hit the Beta one. If you are going to be participating in more than one capacity, fill out a separate form for the separate ways you will participate. (EX: If you are going to write and also draw for someone else's fic, fill out both the artist and author forms).
Wait do you want my Tumblr or my email?
I want you to give me whatever method of contact information you have to give me. Tumblr, email, discord, whatever. Just give me at least one. My personal preference is tumblr, but I am not picky. I will work with you.
Why did you ask about potential archive warnings?
Because while I fully support the right of writers and artists to make art about whatever they damn well please, I don't want to match an author who is not comfortable with graphic violence with a fic that's just a beautiful gorey fight scene. This is not a moral judgement, I just want to respect everyone's boundaries and make sure we all have fun.
What are you going to do with the information I give you?
Your contact information will be given to your partner so that you guys can get to work on communicating and making beautiful fic/art. I will also use it to check in twice before posting to make sure everything is going well.
All other questions are to make sure the pairing / claims process goes as smoothly as possible for everyone.
How detailed do you want that fic summary?
That is frankly up to you. That blurb and working title is what I am going to be using to pitch your fic to the artists. After you two get in touch, then you can flesh out the details together. So if you think three words is enough to get an artist excited (EX: Ravio wielding Fi), then that will do. If you want to give a full 300 word book blurb, that's fine too.
What if I want to make fic for a different version of the Chain? Like Bonus Links or LinkedMaze?
You are one hundred percent more than welcome to do so! Just make sure that you include the fact that the fic is for a specific non-LU version of the boys in your summary when you fill out the form.
Wait! You forgot to tell us about X!
My bad! Send me a message, an ask, or reply to this post. Always happy to provide further clarification.
Is anyone interested in doing a group viewing of Stranger Things? I really want to rewatch it and thought this could be a fun fandom event in preparation for ST3.
If interested, please fill this form out and I’ll add you to the Google Hangout group where I’ll be streaming and where we can discuss times and such.
