Chocobo Racing 2013 - Team Registration!
We're happy to announce that the 2013 round of Chocobo Racing is open for team registration!
Not sure what Chocobo Racing is? You can look here for last year's explanation of the Races. In a kupo-nutshell: Sign up for a team; fill prompts and get points for your team; repeat monthly with special bonus themes for extra points; the highest-scoring team next March wins the round!
We're welcoming back our three teams from last year - Ifrit, Ramuh, and Shiva - but this year we've invited our two new mods to be team leaders:
renay and seventhe will be working in the background to keep this airship flying!
At the bottom of this entry are three comments - one for each team. To officially sign up for the Chocobo Races, reply to the comment for the team you want to join. It's okay if you don't have a Dreamwidth! You can comment using your Livejournal, using an OpenID, or simply use an anonymous comment to leave us your information. It's just a lot easier for the mod team to only have to look in one place to get our current team rosters.
When you comment to sign up, please leave the following info in your comment so that we can recognize your work and give it points!
A couple other notes on Chocobo Racing sign-ups:
We'll be putting the banners up again soon to help you spread the word about your teams. For now, get ready – the 2013 Chocobo Races are about to begin…!
TEAM IFRIT
TEAM SHIVA
TEAM RAMUH
We'd also like to remind everyone from the 2013 round of DOINK! Final Fantasy Exchange to fill out our exit poll if you haven't already. We'll close it soon and start compiling your fannish ideas and opinions. :)
For those of you who are really excited, we'll give you a hint and a head start - the bonus theme for July will be anything in our database. Start looking through and collecting ideas: we'll officially open the round in a few days!

A couple other notes on Chocobo Racing sign-ups:
- Feel free to sign up for whatever team you want to be on! They're all open and you don't have to 'know' a mod to join!
- That being said, please try your best to make sure teams are evenly distributed. We'd hate to have 500 Ifrits and only a couple Shivas and Ramuhs.
- Signing up doesn't commit you to anything, so if you're on the fence but interested, sign up anyway!
- You can sign up at any point during the round! Just remember, we won't be able to count your work for points unless your sign-up is dated before your posted work. This is why, if you think there's any chance you'll want to participate later, it's a good idea to sign up now.
We'll be putting the banners up again soon to help you spread the word about your teams. For now, get ready – the 2013 Chocobo Races are about to begin…!

Additional comments: I haven't written in ages. But then I went to see Distant Worlds live and it reminded me why I love FF so much, and I miss all the good times I had in fandom, so here I am, giving it another go. Third time's the charm, right?

One awesome thing I am bringing to my team: Um. I write real good? (That was a joke.) I have a wide knowledge of many Final Fantasy games, and I'm very good at horror, character studies, and action scenes. I can also critically analyze video games like it's my job (it actually is my job; I have a Master's degree in analyzing visual media like video games, lol).
Additional comments: Er. Hi? I might be busy in some stretches, as I have a big interview in NYC coming up, but after that, I should be free. :)

One awesome thing I am bringing to my team: Ridiculous amounts of meta. A deep and abiding love for minor characters. A habit of playing "let's spot the pop-culture reference!" while writing. And a very thick book of mixed-drink recipes. (OK, I guess that's not "one"...)
Additional comments: LET THERE BE BOOZE AND HEADCANONS!
