A quick moderator note regarding bonus stories

[sholio]

People have been sending me bonus stories to post for the ficathon (i.e. stories that they wrote for prompts other than the ones they were assigned). On the one hand, I really do appreciate the effort, and I don't want to turn anyone's story away -- more stories in the ficathon, after all, is better for everyone. I've already posted a few of these

You know, I hadn't thought of just sending bonus stories, but I have to admit to secretly hoping I would get a call to pinch hit once I saw all the prompts because some of them did start the creative juices flowing and I was just going to store them away for future use. But maybe after the author reveal is complete for those who signed up, you could have an open contribution session of a couple of weeks (or more) where the story prompts are just up for grabs and the authors can post them here during the open session (like over at sga_flashfic)without the anonymous bit... that way you're off the hook to post them, too. Plus it won't delay the author reveal.

Oh, you know what? That's an *awesome* idea! I actually love it and I'm glad you suggested it! And it *will* make things easier for me.

You've definitely put a ton of work into this, and it's much appreciated... after three weeks, you deserve a break! So does this mean I should scamper off and start working on that self-sacrifice AU? *G*

[sholio]

Thanks! And ... yeah! I'll open it up to general posting once the author reveals are done.

Are people who don't have livejournal accounts able to post to a community?

[sholio]

Unfortunately, no. That's the only problem -- and one reason why I kinda liked doing it anonymously, because it allowed everyone to participate. However, I can still post stories for people who don't have LJ accounts (which are also free, if you wanted to have an account just to post).
