Official Rules Stuff
The Pre 1996 Ficathon's first wave will run from
Friday, August 19 until Saturday, Oct 1, 2005.
Subsequent waves are likely.
To play, leave a comment on the Sign Up Post, which will appear on Thursday the 18th.
You will have an assignment by Friday.
You will be given a loose scenario. For example:
someone has a sudden windfall
something with bats
cleaning day
You will write, in the fandom and pairing (or more) of your choice, a story no shorter than 200 words using any interpretation of the scenario.
Source material must predate 1996.
Stories will be due by October 1.
All stories will begin with The Official Header (ooo, ahhhhh), followed by an LJ cut or link.

Disclaimer:
We only require warnings for graphic unusual violence and sex. For instance, if a villain is a seriel killer who is murdering, sodomizing and then gouging the eyes out of 6 year old children, that requires a warning. Slash, het and group sex do not. Sex with people under the age of 16 does (child abuse warning).
If you feel the need to warn for, say death and incest, but that would spoil the story, please feel free to make a second LJ cut labeled "Warnings/Spoilers."
