femconpollsm
To help us decide what panels to feature at this year’s FemSlashCon please choose the top 5 fandoms for which you’d like to attend a panel at this year’s convention. If your fandom of choice isn’t listed, simply add it in the text field at the end of the poll.

The poll will close on 5/5/13 and an initial list of panels will be published the following week. As always, we will be including non-fandom specific panels as well, so if you have a suggestion for a craft/skill or other type of panel you’d like to see, please let us know in a reply to this post.

Suggest a Femslash or Femslash-Friendly Community or Site

Posted on by

Every year prior to the International Day of Femslash and FemSlashCon we need to contact femslash and femslash-friendly sites to ask their permission to advertise the event – between three and five posts over a four month period – and see if they’d be interested in becoming part of the project. Every year, the list of sites changes, as new fandoms, pairings and websites spring up, and others close their doors. So we need your help to make sure we have an up-to-date list of femslash groups to approach.

If you know of a site that’s not included below, please pop the details in a reply to this post, but keep in mind that the site needs to be for adult pairings. If you’re the owner or moderator of a femslash or femslash-friendly site – listed below or not – and would like to give us permission, please do, as it will save us a lot of time.

The rise of Tumblr and other such sites makes this kind of collective advertising more difficult, but if you’d like to be kept informed of IDF and FSC events through Tumblr or Facebook or Twitter you can always like or friend or whateveritscalled our accounts and help to spread the word that way.

If you’d like to be on the advertising committee for IDF/FSC – we’ve decided to have smaller groups, responsible for specific tasks, this year, rather than one big group, to save on confusion – please drop me a line at internationaldayoffemslash@gmail.com.

Revive a Fandom

ReviveFandom

I had a thought, as I was posting the latest IDF announcement, what if we used the occasion to resurrect a fandom or two? No ouija boards or candles needed, just three or more people who still love a fandom, despite it having gone quiet, and want to produce something for IDF.

So far, five fandoms have been put forward for revival, but others can always be added if there is any interest. Now we need to know who would be interested in joining the revival of a particular fandom? By joining the revival you need to promise to produce a minimum of two pieces of femslash (story, graphic, video or manifesto) for the fandom in question – there is no maximum number – all of which then needs to be submitted for the P&P IDF update. On the day – 20th July – you can also start posting your pieces to all the relevant communities, archives etc. that you can think of and hopefully spark off an avalanche of femslash for your particular fandom.

I cross my heart and swear to produce at least two stories and one graphic for Murder in Suburbia, for instance. How about you? For this to work we really need a minimum of four creators – three if they’re particularly prolific – so don’t be afraid to badger your creative genius friends into signing up too *g*.

Audio-fic team, wanted

Posted on by

0

One of the projects we’ve tried to get off the ground – with limited success – the last couple of years has been an audio-fic library. Basically, audio recordings of femslash stories, recorded either by the author or a volunteer audio-actor. It is a project that would premiere during the International Day of Femslash but could continue throughout the year as more and more works become available.

To this end we need to put together an audio-fic team who will help to co-ordinate the project, recruit works, vocal-actors and so on. If you are interested in becoming a member of the team please reply to this post with your e-mail address and any pertinent information.

Alternatively, you can e-mail the IDF team on: internationaldayoffemslash@gmail.com.

Video editors and graphic artists needed

Are you a video editor or graphic artist interested in femslash? Do you want to use your skills to help spread the word about the International Day of Femslash and FemSlashCon?

If the answer to those two questions is ‘yes’, then sign up to become one of IDF’s official video and/or graphic designers.

Either reply to this post, with your e-mail address and area of interest, or drop us an e-mail at: internationaldayoffemslash@gmail.com.

Femslash Needs YOU!

Submit a Prompt

This is your chance to submit a prompt – fanfic, fan-art or fan-vid – for your fellow femslashers, and hopefully see your prompt spark somebody else’s imagination.

Simply reply to this post with your prompt or prompts, including the following information:

Fandoms(s)/Generic/Original:

Criteria:

Media type(s):

All prompts will then be collected together on the giant Prompts Page and everyone will be free to use those prompts to create lots of lovely femslash (they might always want to check out the 2012 Prompts).

Over the weekend of IDF and FemSlashCon a post will be made to this site allowing people to send in the links to their challenge response(s) which will again be collected into a giant masterlist.

Prompt responses can be posted to anywhere that welcomes femslash, but are also very much welcome on the femslash_day livejournal.

ETA: No RPS/RPF, non-con, dub-con or under-age etc.

Graphics 2013

Now that 2013 is well and truly upon us we need to turn our attentions to preparing for this year’s International Day of Femslash and FemSlashCon’13.

One of the first things we will need are graphics, with which to advertise the event, and spread news of what’s happening to all four corners of cyber-space. So this is where you come in, at least those of you with a graphics-bent, because we need as many graphic submissions as possible, covering as many different fandoms and pairings as possible.

Graphics should include the title of the event: either ‘International Day of Femslash’ or ‘FemSlashCon’13′ and the date: 20th July, 2013 or 20-21st July, 2013, plus the url of this website.

There aren’t any set dymensions but as these are to be used on websites, journals, tumblr etc. they should be adequate for the task.

Please submit your graphics either in a reply to this post or to the IDF e-mail address: internationaldayoffemslash@gmail.com
