Hi Lara,
Thanks for the additional info. I knew about the recipients' requests from reading previous ficathon pieces, but I hadn't known about the authors' requests.
I like the April Fools' Day idea! I've already written one April Fools' Day piece, but its punchline relied on the reader not picking up on the subtle hints in the piece that the story took place on April 1st. Having the reader know that a prank of some sort is likely to be coming will make the writing more challenging, but it still sounds like fun.
My only concern is whether some FoLCs who would otherwise participate might be too busy preparing for the upcoming Kerth award ceremony to take part in the ficathon.
Joy,
Lynn
