Ha, ha, HIGH-larious. *puts index finger on nose, points index finger of my other hand at Hermes, and grins*
Also I would totally sign up to be a writer, if only I had any time and talent.

Well, I'm too busy to write a chapter, but if anybody manages to finish another, I'll happily provide illustrations.

Later than I planned owing to personal difficulties, but I am now formally reopening submissions. If you want to and think you can write a chapter in reasonable time - let's say sooner than a month, though less than that would obviously be preferable - then please post in this thread or PM me to say so! Volunteers will receive a continuity summary to fill them in on the main points of the story, though rereading is recommended (and it's honestly not as hard a reread as a twenty-one-page thread makes it look).
Illustrators are also welcome! Tryina, there are six existing chapters that haven't been illustrated yet, so if you wanted to illustrate a past chapter instead of a new chapter, that would be great as well.
Thank you to all volunteers, past and future!

Name and shame who? Nobody ever PMed me asking to write a chapter! I had my resources all lined up and everything. And Hermes's own new chapter also managed to fall at the start of an incredibly busy period for me (you may notice that in the intervening time I have completed yet another of my own ATWQ fan-novellas), so I haven't really had opportunity to go out of my way to directly commission anyone, either. Maybe in the New Year...
Nonetheless, submissions are still open. I have a lot of support material in the background, I'm willing to help anyone out who's willing. I'll contemplate anything, even weird co-writing arrangements. Since I've volunteered to take the last chapter myself, there are really only five chapters left. Surely someone's willing to throw their hat into the ring. All you have to do is PM me.

I was reserving it as more of a behind-the-scenes resource for people who want to write - but yes, it's there, done and revised to the most recent chapter.

I'm afraid, like I said in my anniversary article, this isn't a fanfic place like it used to be. (I mean, a few days ago someone posted a new episode of a fanfic that had been delayed for four years, and got just one comment, which shows it's not a major interest any more, I guess.) We have a couple of volunteers above; apart from them, Isadora Is a Door is a known fic writer, and of course Cafe SalMONAlla was famous for it in the olden days. Anyone else?

Like a year ago I probably would've still been up for it, but now the moment seems to have passed for good

That's very much the vibe I've been getting, yes - not just here, but more broadly. Fanfiction isn't the scene it once was, for any fandom. Perhaps it can't compete with social media and memes?
Well, if you want a job doing, you have to do it yourself. I'll just have to finish this story personally. Technically still collaborative! I'll get to work on it in January.
Edit: Of course, me writing the whole thing will inevitably result in the paradox that nobody will actually read it or ever express an interest ever again (see my signature for details), but it beats being an incomplete project.
