One Week to Go for August Intimacy!

zaniidaSo far, the AO3 Collection has garnered 11 works with a total of 11 fandoms, which only works out mathematically because the one for The Witcher is labeled with three variations of the fandom and several of the Marvel ones are double-labeled with sub-fandoms. But! We've got a handful of Marvel pieces, plus Star Wars, The Witcher, Person of Interest, Stardew Valley, Recettear, and an Original Work where the characters are socks (which has been described with various synonyms for "cute"; I'm quite pleased with how it turned out).
Participants So Far: idrilhadhafang, Siberianskys, AQuietThinker (who wrote two), and Signamino. The other six pieces (two Marvel, POI, SDV, Recettear, and the Original Work) are mine -- three are complete, three have just the first chapter posted. The POI one is a Dark Inversion (Forced Intimacy).
And it's at this point in the game when someone pointed me at potentially a better tag: 5MI instead of FMI. It wouldn't get confused with "For More/My Information," which had been my worry over the original, though it'd get confused with "5-Minute" (e.g. Five-Minute Crafts), so... not sure if that's a gain or a loss or if it just breaks even. Con: "Five Em Eye" is harder to say than "Eff Em Eye," and slightly harder to type. Anyway, I tried it out on one new fic, and I'm mulling over whether it's an improvement or not, but feel free to use it if you like (it's not yet an AO3 tag other than on my piece, but if enough people use it, AO3 would eventually wrangle it into a synonym anyway).
Moving on.
This being my first hosting gig, I don't know if there's any additional administration-type tasks that I'm supposed to accomplish near the end of the event. So basically I'm just pulling up as many FMI projects as I have stockpiled and figuring out which ones are close to postable, while also trying to put time into my main piece.
Anyone who needs a boost near the end here should head on over to Start With This, a podcast by the makers of Welcome to Night Vale, which offers a ton of useful advice and suggestions to help with everything from meeting your word count to dealing with anxiety to knowing your limitations. Much recommended!
Thanks to everyone who's participating! I look forward to reading what y'all come up with =^_^=
