Registration and Sign Ups 2018

Welcome, one and all. It's time to register for g/t 2018. Hopefully a speedy and streamlined process, though with one important addition this year.

1) As with last year, please just make a top level comment to this post rather than an individual post to the community. If you kept your livejournal you can comment logged in, if you've got a dreamwidth you can use open id (but include your lj name if there's any chance I won't recognise it), if you have neither, or you prefer not to log in for any reason, then anon commenting is fine, but please include a pseudonymous tag so I can tell who it is.

2) It's pizza party time! Well, not really, but in the interests of avoiding hell on earth over the phone Saturday night (you see what I did there) I am going to order and pay in advance, on Friday 5 October. In the morning, before I go to brunch. That means there's going to be a hard cut off for registrations and subs this year! No retroactive signups. Not that I'm looking at any perpetual latecomers in particular. You can edit your order between now and then, obviously, but when I call a hard close I'm gonna mean it. :D

Please go directly to hell, I mean visit the Hell Pizza website and check out the menu. Please also make a note of the price of your order. Don't worry about factoring in delivery, I'll sort that out. Can I please suggest that you try to order off the menu if you can, as things start to go awry if there are too many substitutions on a giant order. If you have allergies/intolerances please all caps or bold those so I can make those absolutely clear when I go in.

3) If you didn't do it last year, can you please fill out this google form with contact details (confidential). If you don't want to include a cell number you don't have to, but especially if you don't have a twitter account I can ping it might be useful to be able to text in case of short notice issues.

Registration Template 2018

Try to pick ONE answer, maybe two, if you can, not your entire fannish history. And don't overthink some of the questions. Treat it like word association. It's only for a couple of games on the day.

Current Top Fandom and/or OTP:

I haven't worked out my Hell order yet but I was super keen to sign up anyway, and I will totally comment to this comment with an update very soon, and you have my permission to heckle when I don't.

Is there a fandom you didn't know was a fandom when you were tiny, but it totally was?

Current Top Fandom and/or OTP: Uh honestly not sure I have one. I'm not reading a lot of fic, just the odd thing people recommend. I guess Pod Save is my fandom or the closest thing I have to it rn. I can recommend a lot of good podcasts and D&D related content ...

Favourite Trope: Pining, and I do admit to loving a well done AU (various flavours).

Form has been filled! Yeah I got a ping from livejournal, which I have not looked at in a year. I am being very brave for get/together #2 and coming ALONE without my moral support companions, who are overseas.

Hopefully I recognise some peeps! If not, it's definitely me, not you. I am bad at faces. And names.

Too late! You're already a legend!

I have a question and I don't know how to contact you otherwise? I have a previous engagement on Saturday night (I'm emceeing a cabaret show). Looking at last year's schedule, it seems like this means I might be missing the pizza night? I can be there for Friday night and most of Saturday and Sunday, but The Show Must Go On!

Star Wars and Bandom happened to me pretty close together...

Naruto. And I don't even know. I'm mainly kept here by blackkat, who has never met a new obscure pairing she wouldn't like to write a couple of fics for, before moving on to a new obscure pairing, leaving me shipping All. Of. Them. Yes. Even. That.

Harry Potter. Always there for me whenever other fandoms run out of fic I want to read.

Favourite Trope:
Hmm, marriage of convenience maybe?

Coffee or tea?
Both are good. Preferably coffee.

Whole fat.
