Your submission(s) must be one-shots that qualify for the Week 3 theme bonus. Since hey, it's a busy time in everyone's lives for reading and reviewing, so might as well incentivize people for giving your stories a gander. Like a normal Double Trouble Catnip, you may submit one story twice or two stories once apiece, so long as they meet the additional theme criteria.

You have until the start of January 14, 2024 at 0:00 EST (29 hours after the start of Week 3) to submit your fic(s) of choice, and complete any outstanding reviews you have from prior Catnips to be eligible for entry.

If you don't PM me and let me know, I'll assume things are good to go and the roll will stay as-is.

October 4th Game - Split Take Twin Edition

Organizer: Spiteful Murkrow

Sign-ups open until Sunday October 6, 2024 at 9:00 EST [countdown here]
Special Condition: Split Take Double Trouble - Okay, so for those of you who took part in past Double Trouble Catnips (especially in Review Blitzes), the rules are simple: if you'd like to enter twice (in exchange for reviewing two stories), you may do so. With one catch:

At least one submission(s) must fit the "Split Take" criteria of the round, which in this case will be past contest entries for writing contests on Thousand Roads. If your entry is submitted and fits this "Split Take" criteria (marked with '*' on the signup sheet), it will be assigned to another entrant who did likewise. You may additionally take part in the themed subroll with a singular submission if so inclined.

You have until Sunday October 6, 2024 at 9:00 EST to submit your fic(s) of choice, and complete any outstanding reviews you have from prior Catnips to be eligible for entry. If you wish to participate in the Split Take subpool with one or more entries, please let me know as part of your signup along with what contest your submission was originally part of (since I'd prefer not to have to manually crawl through past contest pages). You may change your submission(s) anytime up until the rolling takes place. To enter this round, send me a message on Discord or TR DM with the following information:

(*) Reroll candidates: If there's anybody entered you already know is fully caught-up on the fic you've chosen, or who is actively in a review exchange/is your beta for this fic, let me know before I roll and I can re-roll if it lands on them. If you don't PM me and let me know, I'll assume things are good to go and the roll will stay as-is. Also note that while hosts can accommodate CW restrictions, per the rules of Catnip, I can't accommodate genre requests.

Review window opens: once your assignment is rolled
Review window closes: Sunday October 13, 2024 at 9:00 EST [countdown here]

This round has a review word count minimum of 200 words, excluding quotes. Note that this is just the total review word count, not words per chapter. Stuck on things to say? Check out this post for a list of reviewing tips and tricks!
