'Cest-a-thon!
Multifandom 'Cest-a-thon!
Sign-Ups Open: June 7, 2007
Sign-Ups Close: June 15
Assignments Sent Out: June 18
Stories Due: July 20
You must make an offer, and make a request, in one of the following fandoms:
Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel
Firefly
Harry Potter
Heroes
Supernatural
Veronica Mars
Stories should be over 1000 words, and about an incestuous (loosely defined) pairing, but may be any rating. On the 20th, post your story in your journal and leave a comment in the masterlist post I'll put up on that day.
The Sign-ups should look as follows:
Name:
E-mail: So I can send you your assignment.
Fandoms I'll Write In: You must offer at least one of the listed main fandoms, as well as anything else you think might get requested that you can write. (A suggested longlist of 'cesty fandoms can be found at the bottom of this post.)
What I Don't Want to Write: Things you can exclude specifically include: parent/child, sibcest, het, and slash. Recognize that slash here means BOTH m/m and f/f, and that you must agree to write, at the very least, sibcest OR parent/child. (It is assumed that everyone is willing to write cousin fic.) I'll do my best not to match people u with their hard-core squicks. If you want, you can be more specific, for example "I'll write any sibcest, plus Keith/Veronica" as long as you agree to the minimum.
What I Prefer to Write: I make no promises everyone will get to write what they want, OTOH.
Requests (you should make 3-4 requests, including a listed fandom) look like this:
Fandom: At least one of the requests must be made in one of the listed main fandoms. The other 2-3 fandoms can be whatever you want.
Pairing:
Type of 'Cest: To aid in my matching you guys up, especially since I might not be familiar with your fandom or its characters, please specify exactly what type of familial relationship exists between the pairing.
Prompt(s): A couple of elements to act as inspiration. Note that the recipient will only be required to write a fic which responds to the prompt(s) in some way, not to write the story you have in mind.
Note that this is a ficathon where the prompts are inherently squick-worthy to some degree; try and give your recipient some flexibility rather than requesting four very similar pairings. Be careful when you sign up, or you might get assigned something you didn't expect.
