We've already heard from some of you in the other thread -
Ficathon - but now we need specifics.
~~~~~~~
Rules for Writers:
Note that stories don't *have* to be Christmas stories. Unless the request you get states it specifically, of course. It would be fun if stories had a Holiday theme, but I'm not going to limit anyone's inspiration by requiring them to be centered around Christmas. If you have a holiday preference/non-preference either in the fic written for you or in what you'll write, please include it in your form
1. Sign up for the ficathon by December 8th.
2. In order to sign up, email your completed form (located just a little further below) to njhky@yahoo.com with the subject "ficathon." Mellie or I will send you a confirmation that we received your sign-up.
3. Assignments will be given out no later than December 13th.
4. Stories should be at least 750 words in length. (That's not as long as it sounds.)
5. You can start posting your stories as soon as you're ready. You can post them yourself, just make sure posts are labeled "ficathon" so we can identify them - also don't forget to mention who the story is for, when you post it. *g* (And if for some reason you don't want to post it yourself, we'll do it for you.)
6. All stories should be posted by January 20th.
7. If your story is delayed - or if you find you won't be able to finish - you must let me know as soon as possible so we can find a pinch hitter.
8. If possible, have your story beta-read. These stories are meant as Christmas / holiday presents - the contents should be as appealing as the wrapping, I think. *g*
9. No character-bashing is allowed. Neither will deathfics. And we'll not be doing nfic either, because it would be really lame for someone to not be able to read the story written for them because they don't have access to that side of the boards...

I am willing to write: Give us a short description of what you would be willing to write so we don't set you up with humor if you're into angsty A-plots, okay!
I will not write: An example of this would be that you hate writing anything Lex. We wouldn't want to assign you that.
Will I pinch hit: (meaning if someone does not complete their story or circumstances prevent them from finishing, will I volunteer to take on another story?)

Okay, I think that's it. Now, let's hear from you!
