svmadelyn posted here about the Trek and Merlin room parties on Saturday and Sunday nights respectively. There will be flyers with exact times for both, but Trek is tentatively between 9:30 and 10:00 and Merlin on Sunday at a somewhat earlier time.porntestpilot totally owns me, as she has posted unholy Pinto hotness titled A Modern Prince Charming. Go there now, plz.
general_jinjur and I would like to welcome everyone to the 2009 DVD Commentary Challenge.
1.) Any fandom and any pairing or lack of pairing thereof is welcome.
2.) More than one person can do a DVD commentary on the same story.
3.) You must have author permission. I want this as fun, not as trauma. You can call a story first if you're worried about getting it before someone else does, but permission is a must for the challenge.
4.) Deadline for submissions is 10/1/2009, 11:59 PM CST. There is no deadline for sign-up.
5.) There is no limit on the number of commentaries you can do.
6.) All commentaries are hosted at (or at least linked to),
7.) You can post your commentaries to the community as soon as you wish.

For the subject line of the post:
Title by author, commentary by {your name here}.
Ratings, warnings, and summaries are optional. If the commentary is taking more than one entry, remember to link them. Have fun. And trust me, these are serious fun. For examples of different styles of DVD commentaries, check out the community and browse to your heart's content.
dvd_commentary general_jinjur and I are prepping (and by that, I mean, I am just re-reading the rules and she's off being innovative) for the Fourth Annual DVD Commentary Challenge.dvd_commentary is where commentaries will be posted; feel free to browse and see what this is all about. An index was created here by general_jinjur, along with links to significant posts.general_jinjur. I--really don't know what was going on with that one.
dvd_commentary whenever you are ready.
general_jinjur emailed back and forth saying things like "Wait, when did DVD commentaries in general start?" and "Are you sure 2005?" and "OOho, but I saw one earlier I think!" So we can cite. Because this is happiness. First, The Dead Letters Challenge has been closed with a total of twenty-seven entries. My thanks to the participants, who all made me happy.
We are now at month two of DVD Commentary Challenge being hosted at
The due date is 10/1/2008, pre-midnight CST for posting. You can continue to sign up and post commentaries until that time.
To sign up to write a commentary, go here.
To give permission for your stories to be commentated, go here.
To read commentaries, a running list is kept here for 2008, and an index for 2007 and 2006 is here. All of this is courtesy of the ultra-organized
dvd_commentary.
dvd_commentary to simplify it a bit. Basically, the rule about multiple commentaries no longer exists. The same story can be done by as many people as want to do it. Sign up, however, is still required. general_jinjur is the technical (and highly organized) side of this operation, so hoping she'll swing by here. dvd_commentarygeneral_jinjur and I would like to welcome everyone to the 2008 DVD Commentary Challenge.
1.) Any fandom and any pairing or lack of pairing thereof is welcome.
2.) One DVD commentary per story per year--if you know what story you want to comment on, post with title and author. A dozen commentaries on The Greatest Fic Ever is nice, but let's go for variety and breadth.
3.) You must have author permission. I want this as fun, not as trauma. You can call a story first if you're worried about getting it before someone else does, but permission is a must for the challenge.
4.) Deadline for submissions is 10/1/2008, 11:59 PM CST. There is no deadline for sign-up.
5.) The minimum is one commentary. I mean, if you're taking on the five hundred thousand word epic of wonder in your commentary, I'm not asking more than that. No upper limit, however. Do as many as you like, in as many fandoms as you like.
6.) All commentaries are hosted (or at least linked to),
7.) You can post your commentaries as soon as you wish.
Story Sign-Ups - this is for commentators who wish to claim a story. Please leave your name, the title, author, and fandom of the story, and a link to the story.
Author Permission Sign-Ups - this is for authors who wish to give sweeping permission for commentary on their stories. Please leave your name and a link to your webpage/story archive.
