Three days until sign-ups close!

[dark_administrator]

Hello, doers of darkness -- this is a friendly reminders that sign-ups close in three days! So far we already have 23 people signed up, and we are hoping to get many more over the next few days. As the end of sign-ups approach, we would like to ask all of you to promote the challenge in your journaling platform or any communities you may maintain, not only because we would like to see more fanworks from the fandoms that were nominated, but also because, logistically, more participants increase matching potential. Preliminary testing of the matching algorithm has shown that we will definitely need more participants in order to ensure that everyone can be assigned a recipient.

Again, a list of current fandoms requested and offerred can be found here, and our sign-ups form is here. For those who are looking to (further) promote our challenge, we would like to point to our previous Kaleidoscope Promotional Graphics & Templates post which has some awesome graphics -- except perhaps the links for templates should be updated:

Kaleidoscope is a multimedia fanwork exchange hosted by dark_agenda for rare chromatic source fandoms.

We welcome artworks, graphics, stories, vids and potentially other types of fanworks in English, in non-English languages or in both, particularly in English dialects and non-English languages associated with chromatic cultures.
