The final forsaken_fandom Awards (Round 2) went up today!  The official List of Winners and Runners-Up is as good as a list of recommendations by consensus, as is the original List of Nominees.  Congratulations to all the Forever Knight winners ( Read more... )

Recently, in FK on my Friends List:

• Potential Fanfic!  On October 3, ithildyn considered the c.1849 flashbacks in FK's "The Code," and how to cross FK with Magnificent 7.  Does the idea of Chris/Janette strike your fancy?
  
  
• Upcoming Ficathon!  On October 3, the oldschoolfic moderator confirmed that she is planning an end-of-year prompt-a-thon and story exchange.  ( ( Read more... )

I've been away from here for a few weeks, pouring all my hobby time into my oldschoolfic ficathon entry.  (I finally finished the first draft at sunset on Saturday -- due Tuesday -- and hustled it off to my kind beta-readers, who have not yet hit me over the head for giving them no turn-around time whatsoever on a ~7,000-word Nick-vehicle.)  I have popped ( Read more... )

Just a couple of quick community reminders:

• The prompts in the second oldschoolfic ficathon are available for claiming until tomorrow, Sunday, August 24th, according to the moderator's most recent post.  You're committing to a mere 500 words by September 30, if you decide to play.  (Come, do!)  Two of the 15 FK prompts have been claimed so far (by me and abby82).

Today, Friday 08/15, is the last day to submit prompts for the oldschoolfic back-to-school themed ficathon for out-of-production fandoms ( rules, submissions).  It's also the last day to submit nominations for the forsaken_fandom awards project, for selected fandoms that no longer have multiple regular awards of their own ( rules, submissions, FK nominees so farI gather that ( Read more... )

At the end of July, I posted about the forsaken_fandom community, and their project to recognize and encourage fanfiction in fandoms (including FK) that no longer have multiple regular award projects of their own.  This week (through Friday 08/15) is the last week they're accepting nominations for this round.  Looking at their FK nominations list, I currently ( Read more... )

First, a word of caution.  I do not know the people running this project, and neither do the friends I asked.  The moderators of this community are strangers.
