Lara Joelle Kent and I will coordinate a holiday ficathon for those who are interested.
Post here if you are interested so we can get an idea of how many people are interested. Then, Mellie and I will give specifics of what to do.
Do you want to do it like last year? Three things you want and three things you don't want?

I'm interested.
I've never done it before, so have no suggestions. Whatever format is decided upon is fine with me.
Just a question, do we still use betas?

I'm in.
BTW, in the past beta readers were recommended, since you don't want to give somebody a lousy gift. However, they aren't required. Better to have something up on time, than to not have something up at all. Also, in the past it was a HUGE SECRET who you were writing for.
Elisabeth
who is happy to pass the torch to someone else to coordinate this year Thanks so much

I know I don't have much fic writing experience and I'm still part-way through one I've been struggling with due to RL, but I'd love to give a little ficathon fic a go! Em

Since I'm one of the organizers, I volunteer to do some beta reading...

I don't have time to work on a new story right now, but I'd be happy to beta for someone! So if you're working on a list of betas, add me to that list.

I'm hesitant but interested. Put me down and I'll do my best. Having a deadline might jump-start the muse.

I'm crazy for saying so, but I'm tempted to jump in, depending on the details. Please let us know when you have everything organized and are ready to make an official call for writers. Kathy

I may regret this later (given I have not really written anything for more than a year), but I'm in, too.
