Hypothetically... by Makari on 2008-12-11 08:36:00 UTC Reply

...if someone were to see a need for an OFU, through what hoops would she have to jump to make it a reality?

This is completely hypothetical.
Really.
Not even that kind of hypothetical.
I swear.

Two things... by Techno-Dann on 2008-12-11 23:55:00 UTC Reply

1) Start writing.

2) Keep writing. OFUs tend to be big stories, and it'snever fun to see one get cut off halfway.

I can do 1. I do it all the time.
2 is slightly harder, but I do want to finish stories; I'm just usually very slow about it. >.>

The one thing you don't have to do... by Huinesoron on 2008-12-11 14:05:00 UTC Reply

... is ask Miss Cam. She's officially washed her hands of it all, as I'm sure various people will be along to tell you soon.

Generally these things are handled through discussions here on the Board, now.

In that case... by Makari on 2008-12-12 19:11:00 UTC Reply

...shall we discuss? n_n
Now's actually a pretty good time; I'm about to go into Christmas break. The potential co-writer has another week, though, I think... well, whatever, it'll work out somehow.

...okay, fine, it's the kind of hypothetical question Calvin would probably ask. >.> Oh well.
Hm? by Buta no Kaabii on 2008-12-12 10:29:00 UTC Reply

Does that mean no more OFUM 2 and no more mini-Balrog adoptions? No wonder my mini adoption email was never answered. That's not good...

Miss Cam's not doing OFUM or mini-Balrog adoptions any more, no. I asked her about that back in April, actually.

After some enquiries, she let me take over the mini-Balrog adoptions, so I now run the Adoptions Agency. Email me with the mini you'd like to adopt. The list is here:

Did she happen to say why?
And ooh, mini-Balrogs. n_n If I ever wind up sporking a LotR fic, I may have to attept to adopt one.

She wasn't interested in it any more. by Cassie Cameron-Young on 2008-12-12 19:38:00 UTC Reply

And you don't need to spork a LOTR fic to adopt, I have over 300 waiting to be adopted.

No more OFUM2... *sobs* Where's your mini-list?

As someone who opened an OFU on a whim (twice)... by Oozaru Angel on 2008-12-11 12:41:00 UTC Reply

All you really need to do is start it. There used to be a rule where you had to ask Miss Cam for permission, so it's a good idea to send her an email mentioning it, but I think you just have to give her credit. Co-writers make it even more fun for me but that's a personal choice. Other than that, just go ahead and do it!

And sure it's just hypothetical. Sure.
Of course it is. by Sedri on 2008-12-11 09:58:00 UTC Reply

The first step would be to ask permission. I'm not sure if Miss Cam is still the one to go to, but I'm quite sure there's someone who should at least be notified.

Hoop #2 would probably be getting a co-author, but that's not necessary, only really helpful.

Hoop #3 would be telling us what fandom this is for. ;p

Really! by Makari on 2008-12-11 10:18:00 UTC Reply

Pay no heed to the minis behind me.

Hoop 1 is mostly what I'm concerned with - as far as I can tell, Miss Cam hasn't shown up in... a while. Though, it seems she's been writing...

Hoop 2 is at least partially jumped.

Hoop 3 I've got stuck halfway through, as it's one of the Tales games, and I don't know *anyone* familiar enough with all of them. However, the one that's attracted the most squealing fanbrats is the one I'm most familiar with, and the one for which I can fit through Hoop 2. ^_^

But this is completely and totally hypothetical.
Really.
