Mark your calendars: March 29-April 1

If you aren't able to make it to muskratjamboree, we've got the next best thing. rat_jam is the online alterna-con for all of us who can't be there in person! We will have:

A Multifandom Fic and Art Battle
Prompts for the fic and art battle will go up March 27.

Scheduled Multifandom Meta
We're coordinating with the Muskrat Jamboree panelists to host online versions of their panels -- AND we're also hosting meta from all quarters of fandom. Come to the community for instructions on grabbing a topic and submitting your essay by the deadline!

Scheduled Media Screenings
Have media, will chat. Dust off your DVDs and update your chat software. It will be like a tiny little film festival happening in your chat window with people watching all over the world. :)

International Chat
When we've done this before, we've spanned 19 time zones and ten countries.


Please JOIN (don't just watch) rat_jam now. More details will be coming (very) soon!

I am SO looking forward to this! And online panels! ♥

Isn't it so cool! Online panels will be like brains on screen, only less lumpy and hard to clean off.

Wait, where are you going! WAIT!

Hiya. Just a quick question,

I'd love to join in rat_jam but I already know that I'm going to be without internet access completely that whole weekend.

I was wondering if I would still be able to join in by submitting something for it (probably meta of some kind as I'm not confident of my fic-writing talents yet to be able to submit anything for public consumption and can't draw or do anything in that artistic vein for love, money or anything) even though I will not be available to be online on the actual weekend?

Or are you looking to people who will be onhand to back up their ideas and reasoning for the actual weekend itself only?

I'll definitely be catching up with everything that's gone on when I get back of course, on April 2nd and I'm really looking forward to seeing what everyone else has been up to whilst I am away (and I'm really disappointed that it's the one time in the whole year so far that I actually had something pre-booked that I can't get out of, but life happens that way sometimes) but I would like to try to contribute something if I am allowed.

Many thanks and have fun

Oh, yes, please give us meta!

And also, yes, it's totally okay with us if you aren't around over the weekend -- we're sort of hoping the conversations will continue over several days, since we know a lot of fen will be traveling and such, and not everyone is able to be glued to their computers for the entire weekend.

So yes, meta away!! Cat's email is in the meta post if you want to drop her a note about topics. :D

Yey! Thank you. \o/

I'll definitely e-mail.

I've got a few ideas for a couple of essays already. I just have to translate them into comprehensive topics so that I can choose one to submit.

This is going to be so much fun. \o/

hey, if you're inspired to do more than one, go for it. We can even make the deadlines squishy if that'll help. :)
