Dead of Winter Ficathon
Welcome to Passion and Perfection's first, official, ficathon.
To celebrate the rain, snow, chills and runny noses of the coming season, this ficathon is dedicated to all things that have ceased to be. Namely television shows and films that have either been axed or completed their life cycle and gone into late night repeat land from which no one ever returns. Whether it be a huge fandom like Xena or a fledgling like Fastlane, all deceased programs and forgotten films are welcome.
I've included a list of dead shows but if you know of another and believe others might be tempted to write for it just let me know and it will be included. The list is now closed (unless I find I've forgotten something mega-slashy).
