Hello all! Are you excited to get your cards? We are! \o/ This is your friendly co-mod #1, with a few points before we start!

First of all, WOW GUYS SO MANY OF YOU. :D We are really excited about the response! And we really hope that Origfic Bingo gives you all the awesome inspiration that you're looking for!

Second of all, bingo cards will start to go out on Thursday night ie. tomorrow night ie. 9/30/10. This is a bit ahead of our Oct 1 start date, but we figured you guys wouldn't mind. Also, note the "start" in that sentence: we will try to get all cards out tomorrow night, but if we can't, we will pick back up on Friday night and continue until everyone has a card! We don't expect the card hosting to go belly up or anything, but it might not be a bad idea to save a copy of your card somewhere. Also, lovely co-mod #2, [personal profile] darthneko is going to be hosting the cards, but it'd be polite to not hotlink off her generosity. :D

Some things to keep in mind as the fun starts!
  • Origfic Bingo is friendly to all genres, all formats, all ratings. Be nice, warn appropriately, and comment often! Inspiration is fueled by appreciation!
  • Post appropriately! Please review the Rules, as I've tried to clarify a few points! Please post in this comm only when you have finished a bingo, one post per bingo. Feel free to post your pieces somewhere else and link to them here. Feel free to post your fics (all fics for one bingo should go in one post, unless you hit the post character limit) on the comm, and under member-lock if you wish. Please follow the posting template. Please tag your works appropriately. Please warn appropriately for anything warnable. Please keep pieces behind cut-tags, and keep long lists of headers (>5) behind cut-tags as well.
  • Love your sister (comm)! Origfic Bingo is two sister comms on Dreamwidth and on Livejournal (both with username origfic_bingo). Please only post to one comm, but feel free to visit each other! Both sites allow signing in with OpenID. The mods will also post a monthly round-up of pointers to posted bingos on both comms, to keep everyone apprised of the goings-on...going on!
  • Questions? Ask them!
  • We can be accessible! If you use a screenreader and would like a card in table form rather than a graphic, just ask! Or let us know what other format would be helpful!
  • HAVE FUN!

Can we get a text-only card in table format in addition to a graphic? I sometimes use a screenreader.

Thanks so much! I was honestly half-expecting a no; that's something that I know some fannish friends have been having problems with, bingo challenges only using graphic formats, and since DW is all about accessibility having a version that's fully accessible to me and anyone else that has visual difficulties is just, well, awesome. :)

I'll do it on a case by case for anyone who requests it - it'd be hard to do it for everyone, but I absolutely will for anyone who asks for it.
