We meant this event to generate activity for the fandom with a low entry level. Therefore, we aimed for flexibility when it came to participation. This year is no different. Thank you everyone for you feedback on this matter.
First, I ask that if you are willing to be a pinch-hitter, let me know. If during the event, your partner is not interacting with you, please, let me know. I am not going to default anyone but even if for a while, we will find a way to substitute your partner. We hope that the next time we'll meet won't be thirteen years later and that we can recognise each other.
Second, besides the question bank that we offered as inspiration last year, I will post an ask every day that anyone can answer. You can use it as an ask meme and comment it yourself or call a person's attention to it if you want to know their answer. For those questions that you shouldn't ask, you can rely on me to ask them for you.
Thank you for being here with me! Looking forward to our reunion this autumn!

  • September 15th: Last day of signing up for the event.

  • September 17th: Usernames of partners will be sent out through direct messaging, please have your DMs open.

  • September 20th: Send your first ask/reply by this date so I know that you have received all the information correctly and you still want to participate.

  • October 17th: End of the event, reveal to be sent to partners.

  • For deadlines, I will count that as long as it's still that date somewhere on this planet, then it's still that date.

Are you ready to fall in Langya? Then check your inboxes and start thinking of your first three questions because we have sent out the name of your partner. As a reminder: mind the DNWs and preferred platforms, stay anonymous and have fun!
It is also worth following the tag on Tumblr if you are looking for information or want to get to know the other participants better, too.
Happy midautumn and have fun conversing!

Can I join on Tumblr and Dreamwidth?
Absolutely. You can specify which platform you prefer or if you want your assigned partner to choose. You can also sign up separately to receive questions on each platform and to also ask questions on both.

Can I create a Tumblr/Dreamwidth to join?
Sure. If you need help with your new platform, let us know. If you are new to Dreamwidth, i am happy to say that we have a community centered around the canon: [community profile] nirvana_in_fire.

Can I join if I have only seen part of the show?
Sure. Let us know if you'd like to avoid discussing events following a certain point in the drama or the novel and we will notify your partner.

Is twelve questions the maximum?
Not at all! Ideally, you will have such a good conversation going with your partner that you will exchange questions and answers and won't even notice how many you've asked each other. The weekly minimum is so the questions would be spread out through the event so we can maintain a steady activity and not overwhelm ourselves at the beginning or lose momentum by the end. But everyone is encouraged to ask more questions or shoot a question back to their partner.

How long are the answers expected to be?
As long as it needs to be. If it answers the question, it can be one word. If a novel is not enough for you to give your answer - you know it.

How long can I take to answer?
If you are indeed writing a novel, please, notify your partner that you will take some time. It's probably a good rule to write something in a few days, even if you know you will want to add more later.

What are DNWs in this event?
Anything that you don't want to talk about. Your partner will have to respect them and can't ask you about these topics. (If they do, feel free to notify us.) Of course, if you originally didn't give us any DNWs but receive a question about a topic you don't want to talk about, you don't have to answer - let us know that you will not answer and we will ask your partner to send a different ask.

Is this a big event?
No. We will probably be able to follow every single conversation with the number of signups we have.

Can I advertise this event on discord/twitter/other platforms?
Sure, thank you. Keep in mind, though, that the event runs on Tumblr and Dreamwidth.

We are about halfway through the sign-up period, we are looking forward to welcoming more participants before we can start asking our questions and getting to know each other better!
