Finish-a-thon 2011 Sign Ups!
Sign-ups are CLOSED!
I had intended to open the sign-ups two weeks ago, but I've been distracted by my involvement with the au_bigbang. Because it's taken me all day to fix things up, I've extended the intended sign-up time to a bit under two weeks rather than under a week.
Announcing... finish-a-thon 2011! Yes, we're doing it again.
Remember all those poor, neglected plot bunnies that have been starving from lack of attention, because all those ficathons kept on having higher priority? The stories you wish you could finish, if only you could find the time? Well, fear not, the finish-a-thon is coming to the rescue!
The finish-a-thon is a ficathon, with all the ficathon-like things like deadlines and fellow volunteers to encourage you, but with this ficathon, you write your own ideas. But since part of the encouragement of a ficathon is writing things for other people, what we're going to do, is vote for which story ideas people should write.
I have set up a website to facilitate the ficathon, including a handy-dandy sign-up form which should make entering all the information easier.
PLEASE let me know if you have any problems.
