fkficfestPlease join the fkficfest/![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
fkficfest community, and begin mentioning our upcoming Forever Knight ficathon game to your friends and fellow FK fans. We're all looking forward to getting to play FK together again this year!
2012 Timeline
All deadlines are 11:59 PM Pacific Time.
How will this ficathon work? If you don't know what a ficathon is, please check out the Fanlore definition. The 2012 FKFicFest game will closely resemble our 2010 and 2011 games; please see previous admin posts (LJ/DW) for details.
In brief: Each player (1) submits a slate of three story prompts, (2) receives a slate of three prompts by someone else in return, (3) writes one story with a minimum length of 1,000 words (and a maximum length of five LJ posts) to fulfill any one of the three prompts received, (4) receives one story that fulfills one of the three prompts submitted, and (5) FK is celebrated and a grand time is had by all.
Players will each submit one gen (a.k.a. classic, team, no-romance), one pairing (a.k.a. relationship, couple, romance) and one wildcard (anything) prompt, to give us all a variety of possibilities to ignite our imaginations. Players will post their own stories to the queue. Your mod will release the stories at a rate of one per day if we have ten or fewer players, and two per day above ten players. Play may extend across LJ, DW and our AO3 collection; players must use at least one of those three venues.
Visual artists may participate. All the same content rules apply to them, plus separate media-specific parameters and opt-in matching requirements.
(This is a preview only. Detailed instructions and rules will come with the sign-up post.)
Why do we need an FK ficathon? "Dark Knight" first aired on May 5, 1992 (yes, FK was a spring show). That makes 2012 the twentieth anniversary of FK's premiere! While FK is a sleepy fandom these days, nevertheless, all these years out from cancellation, we still love our vampire-homicide-cop show and the friends we have made — and continue to make — through it. Let's celebrate FK and each other!
(C'mon, join in! Don't you miss Nick? And Natalie, Schanke, Lacroix, Janette, the Captains, Tracy, Vachon, the Caddy...? ~grin~)
