three_weeks_for_dw is a 3-week period at the end of April/beginning of May to encourage content-posting on DW. (
Here's an explanation.) I was thinking about doing something for it this year, since I still post my (relatively infrequent) locked posts to LJ only and a lot of the fannish places where I play are on LJ; it seems fair to do a little DW-only stuff too, since I like both places. But, yeah, no time. However, here are some currently ongoing multifandom DW commentfic fests that are Relevant To My Interests:
-
The People With Disabilities Being Awesome Commentfic Fest hosted by
terajk (now with
an index of prompts on Delicious). Come on people, leave me some Highlander prompts so I don't have to resort to answering my own. *g* Thus far, I have written
this untitled commentfic (though it grew to about 1400 words, not so much of a commentfic after all) for the prompt "Dresden Files - Michael Carpenter - 'Get away from my children'".
-
Friendship Fic Comment Fest at
littlegreen42. NEEDS MORE PROMPTS. :D (Highlander? Stargate? A:tLA? :D?)
-
Asexy Fanworks Comment Meme at
asexual_fandom.
And here are a few that might be relevant to my flist's interests:
-
Female Trope Character Fest at
such_heights.
-
Transfic Mini Fest hosted by
kanata.
-
livrelibre has a
big list of commentfic fests with several that I didn't know about.
- ETA: And also
the fantastically awesome 3W4DW anime/manga/manhwa/manhua drabblefest hosted by
littlebutfierce! SO MANY FESTS I CANNOT KEEP UP WITH THEM ALL.
These bite-sized fic fests are great for me right now, because I really can't spare the time to sit down and write anything long, but having all these prompts available is giving me oodles of inspiration to scribble off something short.

Because these commentfic fests are being run to get more people posting on DW, they ask that the fics are only posted at DW until the end of the fest (at which point you can post them anywhere), but if you want to participate in some of them (friendship prompts? :D?) and don't have a DW journal, I have DW invite codes ... or you can use your LJ and OpenID.

I started out just using mine as a backup for my LJ (I'd import it occasionally) and then eventually started crossposting because that way, the posts have automatically generated links to each other - makes it easier to keep track, now that some people are following me on DW and some on LJ! It's really just a way of making my posts available to more people.
I remember you'd mentioned that you were thinking about doing original fic at DW and fanfic at LJ, which sounds like a useful idea...

I may resurrect that idea for my current original fic since I'm having some issues with it and need some feedback. If not, I may do what most are doing and use it as backup for my LJ posts.
