Exactly. And true! I have definitely see some fans on Tumblr so there is an audience.
Possibly- I think considering the large number of signups is the reason I would want to at least try to game. The annoying part is the 'and' matching, because you could offer a fandom that someone requested but you don't know what they requested so there's no chance you can connect. :\ At the very least, people can post their letters to an app so you know that way but that requires having done it. Not that I'm very good at gaming anyway- I tried once and failed and the times I've ended up with who/what I want are legit by luck.
It is weird when you notice someone just being blatantly wrong! I saw someone mention in a story that the main character was commuting from Los Angeles to San Francisco, claiming it was 2 hours away, and I was like "???" too. I think I worry more about the British slang and even the title character, who is the lone American, has a difficult voice to nail down too. Oh well.
I'm not American, but I've written mostly American characters my entire time in fandom. I definitely wouldn't have been able to tell if you hadn't told me.
I have two others but one is due till middle of November and the other not till the third week of January. I know, I have a problem. XD Thanks! This is my first year doing Fic in a Box and it's definitely a unique format, especially with the swaps. I haven't had to really get an extension before so to get multiple was awkward for me, at least until I read the FFA and saw that other people were asking for extensions on top of extensions so I was relieved that I wasn't the only one. :D
There is a lot happening so I can see it getting lost in the shuffle, especially since it wasn't really promoted much.
