Ficathon Frenzy instructions post
It's been a fabulous 2013 SG-1 Friendathon. Perhaps you didn't take a prompt for the ficathon and have thought of something you wanted to write. Perhaps you had ideas for one (or more) of the prompts, but didn't have 1,000 words to say about it. Well the Ficathon Frenzy is here to fill the void. It's the final lightning round opportunity to write a friendship fic of any length and post it here on the comm for everyone to enjoy.
Here's how it works: go back to the original prompt post and browse through the unclaimed prompts. There well over 100 of them! Prompts that are struck through were claimed and used in the ficathon itself; those are unavailable for the Frenzy. Anything else is fair game.
If you choose to write a prompt, you don't have to claim it. Just go ahead and write! Even if five different people write a fic about Jack and Teal'c and tabloids, or Sam and Janet on a girls' night out, we'll be happy to accept them all. There is no minimum word count, and you can interpret the prompt as broadly as you'd like. There's no maximum word count either. The only requirement is that the story must be gen.
The Ficathon Frenzy will run from October 28 through November 3rd. During that week, you may post to the comm as often as you'd like, with as many ficlets as you'd like.
Please use the following template:
Subject line: Story title, by Author
Body of entry:
Title: PUT YOUR TITLE HERE
Author: PUT YOUR LJ NICK AND/OR NAME HERE
Rating: PUT RATINGS AND WARNINGS HERE
Prompt: PASTE THE TEXT OF YOUR PROMPT HERE
PASTE STORY TEXT OR LINK TO YOUR OWN JOURNAL HERE
If you paste your story text directly into the entry and your fic is more than 100 words long, please use an LJ-cut.
The idea of the Ficathon Frenzy is to have fun -- the more, the merrier! We hope you'll all post signal boosts in your own journals to spread the word. Here's hoping the Frenzy will be as successful as the ficathon itself. :)
Submissions to the comm will remain screened until the 28th, so if you've got a ficlet you want to submit, feel free to post to the comm now. We'll release everything from the queue when the Ficathon Frenzy goes live.
