Whew! I have now posted all the polls for the finish-a-thon. And it even has a Finish-a-thon poll index. So go and vote, tell me what story I have to tear my hair out over work on over the next eight weeks!

Hello peoples!
This year, I thought I'd do things for the finish-a-thon a bit differently, to try to make signing up easier for everyone. So I have set up a sub-site for the finish-a-thon, with a pretty sign-up form, and all the rules and stuff.

http://www.katspace.org/Fiction/Ficathons/FinishAThon/2009/

I plead with y'all; since I want to start the sign-ups tomorrow (and darn, I have stayed up far far far too late working on this) -- make that, I would like to start the sign-ups about eight hours from now -- I would really appreciate people checking it out whether you are intending to sign-up for the finish-a-thon or not. If you could look at it and play around, I intend to delete all sign-ups that are added before I officially open the ficathon, so you can mess around and tell me what's wrong.

1. Does the sign-up form work for you?
2. Are the instructions clear enough?
3. I've changed the rules a bit; any comments/problems with that?

Give me feedback to this post here, and I will be happy. Thank y'all.

The finish-a-thon is coming up in a few weeks, so I've been pondering what story ideas I'll put up for the vote this year. Looking back on the ideas of previous years, and some additional ideas, I have more than ten; but I'd like to have fewer than ten. So, like I did last year, I turn to y'all for feedback on my candidates.

Decided I didn't want to wait. Finish-a-thon 2007 sign-ups finish on the 23rd.

This is the 3rd part of the voting for the finish-a-thon. Voting will continue until the 30th of August, 10pm GMT, though if I'm busy it might go on for a little longer than that -- in other words, you can vote until I say the voting is closed.

ETA: VOTING is now CLOSED!

See part 1 for the instructions.

We have 44 participants! Wow! This has made the post too large for LJ, so it has been split into two. This is the first post. Part 2 is here. Don't forget to visit both pages!
ETA: Due to an error on my part, you'll have to vote on Jedi Buttercup's entry again, as I mislabelled the stories. Due to the way that LJ sets up polls, this means I had to make a new post here
