Hey guys, November is approaching soon and that means it's almost time for our annual Christmas Ficathon. This year, we want to mix up the ficathon idea with a "Guess the Author-challenge."
That means you still send three things you want in a fic and three things you don't want. Once the assignments are out and the stories are written, you send your story to someone who will collect them. They will be posted by that person so that we can guess who wrote the stories.
Any questions?
Who would like to participate?
Puffytiger offered her services as the person who will collect and post the stories.
It's never too dark to be cool.

Me! I'm in!  Edit: Er...question: Are we supposed to email someone now, or just wait for a certain date or something?

Wohoo! I get to read allll the stories first!
Ahem..
I'm pleased to be the go-between for this year's Guess the Author Christmas Fictathon!
Please email your prompts to tigerpuffs@gmail.com by November 8th so I can shuffle them up and have them out by the 10th. This will give people about 6 weeks to write before Christmas!

Oooo! I think I'd like to participate. Is this like a secret santa? You put in a prompt, then get a prompt to write in return?

Yep! And it's combined with Guess the Author, so that's why everything is going through me, to keep it all anonymous.
And anyone is welcome to play! So send me your prompts! (now that the email is fixed, lol)

I had an idea if you're struggling with prompts. You could browse the challenge folder here on the boards or the plot bunny sanctuary on Discord for ideas!
Also, bakasi's email was in my spam folder. I'll be checking it, but if you could let me know you've sent it, I'll reply when I've gotten it, so we all know it went through like it should! I'd hate for anyone to miss out because of a lost email :S
So far I've received bakasi , Carrie and Queenie!

Oh nice idea. We did this kind of annonymous/gess the author challenge recently in the S&L fandom and that was a lot of fun. I'll be in for that. Going to think of some prompts now...
Up, up and away - to the next fanfic.

Is there time for me to get in on this? I know I have been pretty absent this year, but I would love to participate!

I suppose there shouldn't be any beta reading? So as to avoid spoiling the guessing of the authors?

Yes, there's still time! Sign-ups should show up in my inbox by the time I wake up and check it on thursday. And since I run on a more swing schedule these days, that means late morning Central time. I'll match things up and get them out by Friday evening, latest.
I currently have:
Carrie
Queenie
Blue Owl
Sara
LoveTVfan
Toomie
JadedEvie
Bakasi
