I'm caving, and I'm in, too, even though I told Elisabeth earlier tonight that I wasn't going to participate. *giggles* I did exactly the same thing... (and, uh, for what it's worth, I still feel horrible about last year, Jenn [no, people, it wasn't me who forgot her story... 'cept I was in charge last year... and I sucked at it pretty bad!])

Yeah - what Jenn said!

How many total did we get? I mean, I'm assuming the list that Carol posted was about 1/2 of them. Right?

I split them 10 and 10 iirc. Elisabeth got 3 more after that and I got 7. At least that's the last number I got from her. If you got a confirmation email from me but not an assignment you will likely get yours from Elisabeth sometime in the 24 hours or so  . Carol

Hey, I got mine.......... last to join and one of the first to get assigned. I haven't been online on these boards much lately, just an occasional peek in, but these past two days I've been popping in once in two or three hours... And guess what? I owe it to Elisabeth. Thanks for bringing back the fun in the forum, both Elisabeth and CarolM!  Oh, the NFanfic boards too seem to have been sadly neglected. Anybody wanting to revive it? I've been thinking of writing a NFic version also, of my story, if possible. Oh, and gr8shades, hi! Erm, what if I don't like it? Hee Hee that's part of the fun.

gr8  CG is right. Although I got lucky so far and always got nice ideas out of my assignments. You can do it :simle1: Originally posted by coolgirl:

Anybody wanting to revive it? /points towards almost finished story as well FDK-threads mentioning several vignettes for 2009.../ But you're quite right, it did slow down again after the Smut-month and the Smutathon.

I'd love to read vignettes from you, Michael. :p You write soooooo well, it's just that I've sadly been lacking time and will to get into longer stories right now. I hope you don't mind when I say I haven't read either Fury or Dare past five or six parts... it's just that I haven't read anything that long for the past six months... including my novels! So, start typing away! And fill the NFanfic forum with lots and lots of umm... err... stories! <What did you think I was gonna say?>

The rest of the assignments went out. Sorry I don't have time to make up a list for y'all but I have to scurry. If you were expecting an assignment and didn't get one, please let us know ASAP.
BTW, these will only be posted on the boards, so please let us know who you are posting for. Also include Ficathon in the title, "Ficathon: Ghost of Christmases Repeated 1/1". You are more than welcome to also post on the archives; I'm sure they would be much appreciated.
If you need a beta reader, check out the beta reader thread. If you don't normally beta but would be willing to do one just for the ficathon, post it here.
Thanks to all who are participating. Let the games begin!
Elisabeth

Got mine too. Erm, what if I don't like it? Do I get to throw it back and have another? I don't mean to sound bitchy, but hey, I have rampant morning sickness, so ... I personally would suggest not making statements like this because whomever has your request -- or any request tagged with a negative comment -- is going to feel bad. I mean, when I saw this, I immediately thought oh crap, she must have mine, and I bet I am not the only one who thought that. We each had our turn to request what we wanted for our own story, and by agreeing to participate, left ourselves open to writing something that could be outside the box. That's largely what the what I will write/won't write categories are for. I think that's part of the fun, myself! And I can honestly say some of the requirements I was assigned are challenging, but I'm up for the challenge, and I hope everyone else is, too. I look forward to seeing all the stories!

And here I was worried the angstier stuff in Fury got to you. /wipes brow/ So, thanks for reading and I just hope you will find some more time in the future. So little time for reading sure doesn't sound like fun. Oh, and stopping with Dare 6 was probably a wise idea considering what happened in part 7 Originally posted by coolgirl: So, start typing away!

Gosh, I got mine. And my first thought was, "How am I supposed to do this?" But, right now, I have a basic plotline in mind. Now to the details...

Got mine. Not sure what I was expecting, but this wasn't that. Looks like it gives me plenty of scope for creativity, though. Not that I have any ideas yet. But I'll have to wait til after the college term ends, I think. Congrats, Jenn!! Sympathies on the morning sickness, though; I hated that part. (Quote from early in my first pregnancy: "Am I going to feel this way for the next eight months?!?" "You could, yeah" "I'm gonna die") But no matter how it feels, it's unlikely to actually kill you so hang in there. It'll be worth it. PJ

He grinned at her - a goofy, Clark Kent kind of a grin. "I have a gift for understatement."
"You can say that again," she told him.
"I have a...."
"Oh, shut up."
