Author Topic: Summer Ficathon/Challenge: Are We Interested? MrsMosley Merriwether Member # 1733 posted                           I've been thinking about a ficathon/challenge (not sure which word is more appropriate) we could have here on the boards over the next several weeks. The details of my idea are below. First, it would have a theme. I thought 'summer' would be a nice one. Second, each author would choose an inspiration prompt from a predetermined list - one author per prompt. For a 'summer' theme, the list might include words or phrases like beach, popsicle, summer camp, etc. Song titles, quotes and short snippets from poems are possible prompts as well. Third, the author writes a L&C fic using their prompt as inspiration. The prompts don't have to be taken literally, just used as jumping off point. If a few or more people are interested in participating, I will put together a list of prompts and get the ball rolling. If this is successful, we could do something similar a few times year with new themes and prompts. Answer the poll and let me know your thoughts! Poll Information This poll contains 1 question(s). 11 user(s) have voted.     -------------------- lisa in the sky with diamonds Posts: 1874 | From: Florida | Registered: Jul 2006  |  IP: Logged Deadly Chakram Pulitzer Member # 8595 posted                           I would, in all likelihood, attempt my hand at something like this. I have literally four or five other fics in various stages of development, but I would try to take this on as well. (No wonder why I never work on my novels anymore. ) Also - as an idea for the list - Barbeque. -------------------- Battle On, Deadly Chakram "Being with you is stronger than me alone." ~ Clark Kent "It's all weird!

I would like to try my hand at this challenge, but my muse has been very uncooperative lately, and I couldn't promise that a story would actually get written. May I make a suggestion for the list? Given the chemistry between our favourite couple, I would recommend adding "fireworks" to the list.

I'm in the final stretch of the school semester, but this would be worth sacrificing a couple of math club meetings -------------------- .talk nerdy to me.

Also, when would this be coming up? I have school starting up again in the next month (I know, blech- July 9th) so I'm not sure what my schedule will be like in the future (plus I have a couple of other projects in the works). But as long as it can be short, I can squeeze it in probably. -------------------- "The world is a mess and I just need to rule it." -- Dr. Horrible "Everyone's a hero in their own way, In their own not-that-heroic way!" -- Captain Hammer Posts: 1187 | From: California | Registered: Jun 2011  |  IP: Logged VirginiaR Nobel Peace Prize Winner Member # 8444 posted                        I voted undecided because I'm swamped with my current story at the moment. But I can't say "no" because when your muse hits you over the head with a green-studded 2x4 you tend to listen (unless of course, you're named "Clark", but as we all know he's a lunkhead ). So, we'll see if, where, or when inspiration bites. -------------------- VirginiaR.

A quick query - when do you want it and can it be short? Everyone else's work tends to slow do just a bit for the lazy hazy days of summer. This year, mine is ramping upwards.
