Thanks for doing this final round-up. It definitely motivates me to get to reading more of these fics I didn't get around to while the slashathon was going on. I also see some fun new ones have appeared since I last looked!

In general, I wanted to applaud you guys for running a very organized, well-publicized event, with timely reminder posts all along the way that kept the slashathon frequently in mind.

I think the results of your hard work are readily apparent from the number of fics people wrote (for slash in the BSG fandom, I think that's some pretty frakking amazing output), but also from the number of comments from readers. Congrats on a well-run and highly enjoyable ficathon.

Wow well thank you so much. And I have to agree the output from writers and those commenting has exceeded my expectations by far. I'm so happy we were all, together as a community, able to pull off such a feat. Yay for increasing the slash!

Thanks so much for the feedback! We thought it went well, but it's good to hear how it was from a participator's end.

Seriously, thanks for letting us know what you thought and helping make this such a fun time. :)

I have to echo millari in saying thanks for an awesome fest. I know part of it for me is a brand new shiny fandom, but this is seriously the most fun I've had in a fic fest in quite a while!

crickets October 27 2008, 02:20:50 UTC

Aw, what a great compliment! I'm so glad! :)

cynthia_arrow October 28 2008, 00:27:42 UTC

Yay! I'm glad you had fun. Thanks so much for letting us know what you thought. :)

Thank you so much for posting this last round up!

Do you see how awesome our members are? Sheesh! 49 fics! That's nearly 50! And that? ROCKS.

cynthia_arrow October 28 2008, 00:28:23 UTC

I KNOW! :D

And thank YOU for making the post on future ficathons!

Another thing I love about this is how there are a few ideas that bit me that just won't go away (though one in particular needs a lot of thought). So I know there will be some more fic from probably everyone in the next few months. I really enjoyed this, thanks guys.

Ditto on this. There are still a few more prompts I'd like to write but ended up not having time for. Those will definitely get written sometime soon.

My compliments to the organizers of this event; I'd never done a ficathon thing like this before and it was a lot of fun.

cynthia_arrow October 28 2008, 00:31:19 UTC

I know I'm totally going back to these prompts in the future--when I can get my writing brain cooperating again, that is. *sigh*

Thanks for letting us know what you thought--and for participating!

cynthia_arrow October 28 2008, 00:30:12 UTC

I know I'm definitely coming back to these prompts...especially since the muse wouldn't cooperate AT ALL during the actual ficathon. Seriously, I hit a rare total dry spell with writing, but at least now I have some ideas floating around in there.

Thanks for letting us know what you thought. :)

Thank you so much for running this, as well as organizing this master list! This was great and I had an awesome time participating, will definitely do so again! <33333
