Ficathon!

[Enjorous]

I don't know if anyone would be interested but I did one this fall. It was a lot of fun.

What it is:
A ficathon is a fic exchange: someone writes a story for you, and you write a story for someone else. When you sign up, you'll submit two fic requests, giving your writer an idea of what you'd like to see written for you. You will also include a short list of criteria of what you are willing/unwilling to write for someone else. This can include specific genres, characters, ships, time periods, adult content level, etc. You will be assigned someone to write for, based on your this list. Pick one of their requests (or incorporate both, if you're daring) and go for it!

Rules/guidelines

All stories should be at least 1000 words.
All stories should be based around Alice and Bella. No crossovers but AH/AU/OOC are all perfectly acceptable.
All stories should be spell-checked and beta read before posting. If you don't have a beta, let me know in the application, and I'll do my best to hook you up. Also, please let me know if you're willing to beta for others, and how many you can handle.
If you can't finish your story on time or at all, let me know ASAP.
All assignments and requests should be kept confidential. Like a secret santa, telling who you've got spoils the fun!
All stories must be posted here at the end of the ficathon. Please, don't post before then! Feel free to post it to your personal LJ/DA/FF.

Maybe we can get enough interest here or potentially use it to draw people to the site.

Sounds interesting. I think I might be game.

[Enjorous]

Well then I probably should post what the "application" looks like. Anyone interested just PM me. If there's enough interest we'll make it a go.

I would like to see a fic with Bella as something over 10,000 years old, and not a vampire or shape-shifter.

[Enjorous]

Well see if you were doing the ficathon you'd be able to make that one of your requests

Is this ficathon still going on and if so what is the time frame for it? Also, is there a time frame for when the stories must be finished and can we post updates for the stories on separate days or must the story be complete and posted all at once?

I like this idea and think it would be a great way to introduce my writing skills to this (my new favorite) forum.

[Twigon]

Ohhhhhhh. I thought you just put in requests, then had them done for you. Damn.

[Enjorous]

I've only received one entry so far, so: yes there's still plenty of time to sign up. Once I get some more interest I'll put a time limit on the signups, go through and match writers to readers, and give a week in which you can post them.

It would be nice if they were all finished, that's why the idea is to go for a one shot, though once the ficathon is over feel free to expand it as much as you want.
