Subject: 2011 FKFicFest Game Invitation
FKFicFest is back! Amilyn (Natpacker Amy) and I (Knightie
Amy) are hosting a FK ficathon game on LiveJournal and
Dreamwidth again this year. We would like to invite you to consider playing!
*What is a ficathon?*
Several fiction-writing games have become popular under
that name. FKFicFest goes like this:
(1) Submit 3 story prompts.
(2) Receive 3 prompts by someone else.
(3) Write 1 story of at least 1,000 words to fulfill any
1 of the prompts received, and post it to the community.
(4) Receive in return, on the community, 1 story that
fulfills 1 of the prompts submitted.
(5) FK is celebrated and a grand time is had by all!
Sign-ups are open through 05/20. Final stories are due on
07/16, and will begin releasing on 07/18 (or as soon as all are turned in).
*Why hold an FK Ficathon?*
We see a lot of fun ficathon games played, but even when FK
is included in a multi-fandom game, the players requesting
it don't always get matched with the players eager to write
it. Fifteen years out from cancellation, we still love our
vampire-homicide-cop show and the friends we made through it. Let's celebrate!
*What if I'm not on LiveJournal or Dreamwidth?*
Both offer free accounts. All game interactions and
reminders happen on LJ and DW.
*Can ficathon stories be posted to fkfic-l?*
Yes! We hope all the players will post their stories to
fkfic-l after the ficathon. (The game is to help make new
stories, not to impose on any other place we post stories!)
*Tell me more!*
- We're on LiveJournal here: http://fkficfest.livejournal.com/
- We're on Dreamwidth here: http://fkficfest.dreamwidth.org/
- Rules/Sign-Ups are here: http://fkficfest.livejournal.com/17134.html
- The joint email address for the two of us hosting
("moderating") the event is fkficfestmod at rittenhurst dot com.
Again, sign-ups are open through 05/20. We hope to see you there!

Sounds like fun to me! I just created a LJ account--very easy!--and am
looking forward to getting started.
