Chromatic New Year's Resolution 2011

Hello doers of darkness! First off, we're still looking for your thoughts and feedback!

Secondly, as we've stated in the above post, our challenge is opened to New Year's Resolution 2011 submissions. The New Year's Resolution Challenge allows anyone to write and post stories from prompts made by [archiveofourown.org profile] yuletide participants and non-participant pinch hitters (no lengths restriction) so we encourage anyone who's thinking of participating to find prompts from chromatic sources and/or that feature chromatic characters and fill them!

[personal profile] troisroyaumes wrote a Python script and has generated for us an Excel document from the Yuletide Complete List of 2010 Prompts to make it easier to search for prompts. There are some weird formating issues due to how Python renders letters with accents, but you can download the file here (text version) or view it directly here (html version).

And there's of course our Chromatic Yuletide 2010 Prompts spreadsheet (html version) over which we're looking to transfer relevant information from the Yuletide 2010 Complete List of Prompts. If you like data mining and repetitive tasks, we would love your help in this project! It's a low priority whenever you have the spare time, energy and inclination type of project, but if you are interested, comment in this post! You can volunteer to help with a specific fandom (e.g. Community), region (e.g. Latin American sources, Filipino sources, etc.), number/letter (e.g. sources that start with #s or the letter Y) or any other combinations of.

To add prompts to the Chromatic Yuletide 2010 Prompts spreadsheet, you can use this form or just add prompts directly into the spreadsheet. The categories are:
  • Fandom(s): Please enter the fandom as it listed by Yuletide and AO3.
  • Character(s): Please enter all the characters for which have been asked. If any, please enter in parentheses any chromatic character(s) mentioned in your optional details request, e.g. "Any (chromatic character)".
  • Recipient: Please enter the name that the recipient used to sign-up for Yuletide.
  • Medium: Please select the category to which the source belongs: All Media Types, Anime & Manga, Books & Literature, Cartoons & Comics & Graphic Novels, Celebrities & Real People, Movies, Music & Bands, Other Media, Theater, TV Shows or Video Games.
  • Region: Please enter the nationality of the source.
  • Language: Please enter the language of the source.
  • Details: Please enter the recipient's request, if they specified the details, or notes from their Yuletide letter, if any.
  • Link(s): Please provide links to the recipient's request, their Yuletide letter or any appropriate Yuletide related posts from them.
  • How does this prompt fits Dark Agenda' Chromatic Yuletide 2010 Challenge?: Please select one or both categories: Chromatic creator(s) and/or Chromatic character(s).
Thank you!

Some final notes: You'll need an AO3 account to upload your stories to both the New Year's Resolution 2011 and Chromatic Yuletide 2010 collections. The current invite list is about ~800 people long so if you need an invite, let us know! We have invite codes to send.

To post to a collection, AO3 wrote a tutorial on how to do so, but the easiest way is to add "chromatic_yuletide_2010" to the list of collection names under the Post to Collections/Challenges: field (e.g. chromatic_yuletide_2010, nyr2011) in the Post New Work interface.
