Ficathon scheduling and instructions
The Friendship Ficathon has now moved into the claims period! This stage will run for two weeks, from August 4th through August 18th. During that time, each participant may claim one prompt only. By claiming a prompt, you are committing yourself to writing a minimum of 1,000 words of gen fic by September 30th. Stories should be proofread and preferably beta'd.
After August 18th, any unclaimed prompts may still be claimed - either by someone who has already completed their first prompt and wishes to do another, or by someone who has not yet joined the ficathon. Also, if you are having trouble with your ficathon story and would prefer to exchange your prompt for another, you may comment at the claims post, turn in your original prompt, and claim a new one.
All participants of the ficathon must give us a working e-mail address. Comment at this screened post and leave us your e-mail, or e-mail us at sg1friendathon [at] gmail [dot] com. We must be able to get in touch with you!
Stories are due on September 30th, but you may post them to the comm (either at DW or LJ, as you prefer) whenever you are ready to do so. Stories will be released from the queue one at a time, once per day, in the order in which they are submitted. The ficathon will last for as long as we have stories to post! :)
If, for some reason, you find that you cannot finish your story in time, let the mods know. You can e-mail us or leave a comment at the screened e-mail post.
When the ficathon is complete, we will have a week of Ficathon Frenzy, in which anyone can write stories of any length based on any unclaimed prompts.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to comment here. If you prefer to keep your questions private, you may comment at the screened post or e-mail us directly.
