2009 Podbang participant signups! \o/

[podmod.livejournal.com]

please comment to this post to sign up as a Podbang 2009 participant!

this is a gift exchange, so only sign up if you can make a good faith commitment to record something for another participant in time to turn it in on or before December 1, 2009.

comment with the following:
- the fandom(s) you would be interested in receiving as a gift. (at least one of the fandoms you list should have held a big bang type challenge in the past (see list in faq), but only one is necessary.)
- you may also list a maximum of two story elements that you'd prefer not to be included that your benefactor can take into account when choosing a story to read for you. (if you want to talk about what you *like* (and the sundry minor details you are just not fond of), feel free to put that in your own lj we will have a post where you can leave that in comments where your assignee can find it, some time after September 7, when the assignments go out. we really just want to make sure we don't accidentally hit your major squicks or triggers, here in the signups.)


we will be accepting signups through the end of the day on August 30.

on August 31, we will post to list all fandoms requested to ask participants to comment with which fandoms they could read a gift in! we will also be making a call for pinch hitters, beta listeners, and artists. <3
