"Old-School Fic" back-to-school ficathon ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sun, 17 Aug 2008 18:23:56 -0700 From: "Amy R." <akr@l.......> Subject: "Old-School Fic" back-to-school ficathon I haven't seen this in a digest yet, so just in case anyone is interested, I thought I'd share that the "Old-School Fic" LiveJournal community -- for fanfic in out-of-production fandoms like FK -- is holding a back-to-school-themed ficathon event from now through September 30. (I don't think you need an LJ account to play, but the issue doesn't seem to have come up before, so I'm not positive.) A ficathon is a lot like a challenge. In this case, the game is to claim a prompt from the list this week (there are 15 FK prompts available right now), and then write a story (minimum 500 words) meeting that specific prompt and the round's general theme of "school," and post it to the LJ community by the end of September. (After the ficathon is over, players can post to fkfic-l and other places, of course.) So, for example, if you claimed the prompt "Nick and Screed: teacher's pet," you would write a story involving Nick, Screed, a "teacher's pet" and "school," however you interpret those things! :-) - The forum: http://community.livejournal.com/oldschoolfic/ - The rules: http://community.livejournal.com/oldschoolfic/9477.html - The prompts: http://community.livejournal.com/oldschoolfic/10059.html This is their second round. I participated in their first, and it went well. However, last time players were assigned prompts by the moderators, and this time players get to pick their own prompts, so it's a different kind of game. We'll see what happens!
