dark_administratorHello doers of darkness -- your ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
dark_agenda team has been in discussion for several months now about the possibility of running a chromatic fanwork exchange challenge. We had contacted Archive of Our Own (AO3) earlier this year about the possibility of hosting the challenge on the archive and whether it had or will have the infrastructure to support a multimedia international-source exchange challenge. Their Accessibility, Design & Technology committee was very receptive about the type of technical support we would need in order to host our challenge on the archive and after our latest chat with them, we felt like we were able to proceed to the next step of our preparations: writing out our policies and procedures!
There's still quite a lot we need to set up (as evidenced in our two drafts below) before the challenge can get off the ground, like needing to develop and code a web interface for a nominations (and a dispute) form in the event that a public nomination form by the AO3 isn't completed by the time-frame we'd in mind and researching and working out a rarity policy. All of which to say that the schedule we are proposing could be pushed significantly back due to our technical needs.
However, most of the setting up we need to do is dependent on our policies and procedures and for those, we'd like your feedback before moving ahead. Below are two rough drafts we've prepared: 1) an announcement outlining our proposed schedule, rules and guidelines and 2) a FAQs post answering some questions we think someone will have about our challenge. We would love to hear your thoughts and any suggestions you may have on them, e.g. whether our proposed policies and procedures are clear and seem workable or whether we could simplify them and how.
