Feedback Post
Apr. 22nd, 2025 08:12 pmextrapenguin posting in space_swapSlightly belatedly, the feedback post!
This year, I moved internationally during the exchange (pro tip: don't do this), with the actual moving date being the day sign-ups ended so I handled noms and sign-ups while packing (pro tip: super don't do this), and essentially felt like I was juggling about three balls too many at any given time. Hopefully this feeling of complete chaos did not reach you, but if it did, don't worry, I will not be moving, internationally or otherwise, next year!
With the above disclaimed, if you have any feedback, I'd be happy to hear it! (Even if it's "you sure seemed more disorganized than usual this year" or whatnot.) Requests on where to advertise? Wishes for a clearer FAQ/instructions?

Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday
Apr. 22nd, 2025 08:30 amicon_uk posting in scans_dailyIn the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.
Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.
The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.
Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.
It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.
The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than me. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.
The UK Supreme Court ruled that the legal definition of "woman" is defined solely by biological sex (Whilst also mentioning the protections are still in palce for trans people), crowed over as vindication by those who you never want to see crowing, and leaving trans people in vague limbo whilst Government bodies look to rework their policies.
Pope Francis died at 88, the day after Easter and the day after meeting US VP Vance... coincidence? A Pope who, more than any before, shifted the boundaries in terms of seeking out the excluded and the marginalised and caused uproar when he said things like "If someone who is gay is seeking God, who am I to judge?" and permitted priests to give a blessing to same-sex couples. Not a perfect man by any means, nor as radical as some had hoped, but in terms of the inertia he was working against, probably more progressive than any would have dared hope for ten years ago.
Star Wars Celebration happened in Japan this past weekend, with many new projects announced
A live colossal squid was caught on camera for the first time and is as beautiful as you'd have hoped
And Doctor Who gave us "Lux", which I won't spoil further but was certainly different, in a good way.

2025 Schedule & Rule Changes
Apr. 21st, 2025 09:23 pmlongficmod posting in fandom5kHello! I have continued the annual tradition of dragging my feet on posting a schedule and, as a result, pushing everything just a little bit later than last year. But 2025 is here! Some dates may be tweaked slightly before signups begin:
I'm also announcing a few rule changes.
First, standalone comics of 5 pages or more will be allowed this year!
Second, partly to support the ability to request/offer comics for different character combinations, I will be allowing participants to request and offer the same fandom multiple times. You must still request 3 unique fandoms and offer 4 unique fandoms.
Third and finally, the use of AI to generate text or images is not allowed in Fandom5K.
Rules are still being finalized, but you can read the draft here. Not much else has changed since last year.
Nominations: 23 April - 1 May
Signups: 3 May - 11 May
Assignments out by: 14 May
Mandatory check-in: 7-14 June
Default deadline: 14 June
Works due: 28 June
Works revealed: 19 July
Creators revealed: 28 July

Apr. 21st, 2025 06:21 amlaughing_tree posting in scans_daily
With Batman, with Superman, it’s not like I said, I’m going to make these guys cyphers for the worst of the worst of American perspectives. But I think there’s a reality that it’s getting harder and harder for people to deny that there are biases that are baked into the system. -- John Ridley
