Thank you to everyone for either getting your assignment in on time or contacting me for an extension!

Stories and art will be revealed at this time next week, Sunday, October 7th, at 8pm UTC.

In the meantime, if you have not finished your assignment, obviously that comes first! But once you have, consider creating a treat, if any requests grab your attention. Treats may be any length or art quality.

To post a treat, go to the main page of the collection, click Post to Collection, then where it says "Gift this work to," type the AO3 username of the person who made the request which inspired you.

If you haven't finished your assignment yet, better get cracking! Works are due in 12 short hours, at 8pm UTC today.

You can absolutely post a first draft and do your edits over the coming week. I won't be checking anyone's work for details, just checking that you have indeed posted something.

If you need an extension, ask below (comments are screened). It would be helpful to say when you feel you can complete your assignment (and the sooner the better).

We’ve now all been matched together in the hopes of inspiring each other to produce some amazing fanfic and fanart! Assignments have been sent; if you have not received yours, let me know.

They are due on September 30th at 8:00 UTC. Good luck and happy writing/drawing!

And now, we do the matching, which is just about the closest your humble mod gets to rubbing their hands together and cackling, "POWER! Unlimited POWER!"

Assignments will be out, barring any issues, within a day, and perhaps sooner.

Signups close tomorrow (August 26th) at 8 pm UTC (see countdown here).

Please sign up if you'd like to participate! We have 15 signups so far but could use a few more. It would be especially great to see more fanartists!

Innumerable Stars header

The time has come, and lo, the tagset is complete. Go now forth and sign up!

The hour is short, however. You have one week, until the 26th of August at 8pm UTC, to sign up!

You must make a minimum of 3 requests and 4 offers, with a maximum of 10 requests or offers.

You are able to request and/or offer fandoms multiple times, as long as you request different characters or character groups. (With a tagset containing over 300 Silmarillion tags alone, this shouldn't be hard!)

You have to request/offer at least one character or character group, and up to 20, per request/offer.

Remember, relationships are worldbuilding tags. They are not required and will not be matched on, they are just extra information for things you would like to see in the stories/art you receive.

Requests are visible immediately.

Have fun!

The tagset is looking great, but time's running out! There is one day left to nominate, so if there's anything you want that's missing, now is the time to get it in.

If you want anything in there and have run out of space, comment here and I'll add it.

Thanks for all the nominations, the tag set is really shaping up to be wonderful this year!

There's a few tags that I'm having to reject, and should be resubmitted:

-- Please re-nominate "Group: Éowyn/Tauriel" under Crossover Fandom.

-- Maglor does not belong in LOTR, please re-nominate him in Silm.

It would in general be extremely helpful if you could append the name of the fandom after each character or group you nominate. This helps prevent wandering tags! I'm using (Hobbit book) for The Hobbit, (Hobbit movies) for the movie series, (LOTR book) for LOTR, (LOTR movies) for the movie series, and (Silm) for the Silmarillion. Also (Father Christmas Letters) for the Father Christmas Letters.

Haven't had any noms for them yet but will be using (SoM game) for the Shadow of Mordor games, (SoWM) for Smith of Wootton Major, (LbN) for Leaf by Niggle, (FGoH) for Farmer Giles of Ham, and (THoBBS) for The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth Beorhthelm’s Son.

As the tag set increases, you may find that I am having to append increasingly bizarre things to the end, please ignore these, they are just to prevent the tags from wandering.

Please, please, please help me out by pointing out tags which have wandered, misspellings, or just plain incorrect things which have somehow ended up in the tag set! I'm away on holiday just now, so I might be a bit slow in responding to everything, but the tag set will be in good shape by the time it closes on the 19th.

Hey everyone, it's getting on toward that time for another round of Innumerable Stars!

The 2018 schedule, adjusted slightly from last year's, will be:

Nominations Open: Sunday, 5 August 2018, 8:00 PM UTC
Nominations Close: Sunday, 19 August 2018, 8:00 PM UTC
Sign-ups Open: Sunday, 19 August 2018, 11:59 PM UTC
Sign-ups Close: Sunday, 26 August 2018, 8:00 PM UTC
Assignments Out: Monday, 27 August 2018, 8:00 PM UTC
Assignments Due: Sunday, 30 September 2018, 8:00 PM UTC
Works Revealed: Sunday, 7 October 2018, 8:00 PM UTC
Authors Revealed: Sunday, 14 October 2018, 8:00 PM UTC

I've shortened the writing period down from six weeks to a month. With a 500-word minimum, everyone should be able to write this amount in that time.

The exchange will run pretty much the same as it did last year, with people able to nominate characters and relationships. The list of fandoms will be the same as well.
