On the German boards, we tried ficathons with an overall theme. This idea was highly successful, so why don't we do the same here? For example, this summer we had the ficathon theme 'revelation'. So, everybody got the three wishes and anti-wishes from his partner (as usual) and this overall theme. And you wouldn't believe what sort of stories people came up with. (One of them would be Michael's "Batman, Zorro, And Other Liars")
