Comment fic February
Comment Fic is a special kind of short, quickly written fan fic that can (usually!) fit into a livejournal comment. The fics are written in response to prompts from other users. I'm absolutely not responsible for the idea. In fact, there's an entire livejournal community dedicated to it: http://comment_fic.livejournal.com. However, since we've finished our first writing challenge, I thought it might be fun to try a round of comment ficcing here, with a Little Women focus.
Here's how it works:
FIRST
Leave a comment here requesting a fic that you would like to read. It should look like this:
characters ; prompt
Example:
Jo ; eating apples
If you want a pairing fic, use the slash / sign.
Example:
Jo / Bhaer ; eating apples romantically
If you're hoping for a gen (non-pairing) fic, use the and & sign.
Example:
Jo & Beth ; eating apples in a platonic sisterly fashion
If you don't care if it's pairing or gen, use both signs.
Example:
Jo &/ Laurie ; Eating apples while sending each other mixed signals while Laurie either pines over Jo or just enjoys his apples and muses on his joyful union with Amy.
If you don't care which character is used, write any.
Example:
any ; The apples at Plumfield are glorious to behold
This is a tiny community, so the more prompts the merrier. Leave as many as you want! Leaving prompts does not in any way obligate you to write fic. Trust me, those of us who do enjoy writing fic will enjoy the plot bunnies you've left!
SECOND
Look through the comments, and find fics that you want to write. Reply to the comment with your story. Have fun. Don't worry about running off to write the next great novel. Feel free to turn up out quick, spur of the moment stuff. Sometimes those turn out to be the best kinds of stories! Maybe you want to try writing your first fic ever in the fandom. There's no minimum word requirement.
THIRD
If somebody writes a story to your prompt, don't forget to thank them.
FOURTH
There isn't really a fourth, but if you know any Little Women fans who aren't here, feel free to send them over. :)
