Fun with Ficathons

[sholio]

There are still a few days left to sign up for sga_genficathon -- sign-ups close on Jan. 31. (Next time I run a ficathon, I think the sign-up period is probably going to be shorter. On the other hand, I should have the assignments out very quickly after the end of the sign-up period, because I've got everybody all sorted and ready to go! Feel free to leave some more prompts, too.)

roga is running purimgifts -- sign-ups also close on Jan. 31. I'm full-up with projects and don't trust myself to commit myself to anything else right now, but it looks really fun: rules post here and sign-ups here.

Oh cool. To be honest I almost forgot about the date, but it'll be nice. I'm working on a long fic with my co-author, so I'll be wanting to write something else in between chapters.

This will be fun! Thanks for putting it together.

I'm enjoying myself so far, but we'll see if I'm still saying that when it comes time to get all those stories pulled together and posted. *g*

Well, Angst and Humor were the two genres I was originally leaning toward, so the needs of the ficathon seem to have dovetailed with my preferences. Now, as someone who's read a lot of my stuff, which would you prefer to see me do? (And yes, sure I can make my own decisions; it's just kind of fun to find out what someone else thinks.) :)

[sholio]

Oh fine ... make ME make the decision! *g*

I've always really loved the way you do humor -- it's funny but with an underlying serious element that kinda tugs at the heartstrings, too. So I suppose that's the direction in which I lean.

Okay, then - Humor it is! Maybe even a combination of Humor and Angst. We could call it Hangst! ;)

I've still got to finish my story on Fanfiction.net. It only has three chapter so far, and not a lot of comments. I'll probably finish it before march, however. My penname is TricksterLover on Fanfiction.net, because Fitzwiggity is already taken. (I think.)

Well, it's up to you, of course -- you're welcome to sign up, but only you know if you think you can finish another story by March 30th!

Foolishly impatient!

Please, may I have my prompts now? (jumping up and down with excitement!)

Re: Foolishly impatient!

[sholio]

I'm sorry! I know you're eager ... it's only a few more days! I don't want to send out any assignments early because I may need to switch things around at the last minute to accommodate late sign-ups. But sign-ups close on Thursday night and I should have the assignments out very quickly after that -- you'll certainly have it by the weekend!

Okay, recent weeks have reaffirmed to me that, no matter how much I WANT to sign up for ficathons and challenges and no matter how much time I THINK I'll have before it's due, I really REALLY shouldn't commit to these things because I usually end up letting people down.

So... if you need a "back up writer" for the sga_genficathon, PLEASE give me a nudge and I'll try my damnedest to come to the party. But it wouldn't be fair to pledge a commitment here and now because I truly SUCK at liveing up to these commitments. I really and truly do.

[sholio]

No worries! I put you down on the pinch hit list. :) Also, your prompts totally cracked me up. In fact, cracked is probably a good word for them. I don't think I'm quite cruel enough to make seven different people write a story to "Ronon Hears a Who" (pity the poor sucker who gets "Angst" for that one...), but now I'm tempted to have some kind of Doctor Seuss challenge at some point.

[derry667.livejournal.com]

Aww c'mon! "A person's a person no matter how small" How much more angst-ridden can you get?

But yeah, cracked pretty much sums up the mood I was in.

Go the Dr Seuss challenge! I would REALLY try hard to be in that one ;-P
