sholio: sun on winter trees (Meredith Jeannie)
I've been dinking around for awhile with the idea of running some kind of gen or team ficathon. I realize that NOW is not a good time because everyone is thoroughly ficathoned out, but there have been so many wonderful, long, meaty stories coming out of the recent ficathons that my to-read list is booked up for quite some time. Not that this is a bad thing. *grin*

But, as many ficathons as this fandom has to offer, there are very few that are not pairing-focused, either towards a specific pairing like [livejournal.com profile] mcshep_match or the various rare-pairing ones, or offering several pairing options like [livejournal.com profile] sgabigbang did. Again, not necessarily a bad thing, but my own proclivities lie in the gen direction and I know I'm not the only one. It was [livejournal.com profile] mcshep_match that really got me thinking about this, because I really liked some of the stories but I'm not generally familiar enough with specific slash writers' styles to participate in the author-guessing polls, whereas for gen I'd love to get to do something like that. So that got me wondering, hmm, why not test the waters and see if there'd be enough interest to make a gen ficathon worthwhile?

So, I have created a poll:

Cut for poll )

Feel free to pimp this around -- I'd like to get as many responses as possible.
