The 2024 Optional Reader-Request Post

[brightknightie]

Now that we've chosen our prompts (read the results), today brings this completely optional reader-request gifting post. Tomorrow, expect the rules/gameplay post. Then, I'll start posting promos to the usual communities.

We're playing challenge-style in our 2024 fkficfest game. Yet many of us love gifting! Some writers find reader requests inspiring and love to delight specific recipients.

Therefore, we have optional treating. That is:

• No matching. No claiming. No promises.
• If you, as a reader, would like to let a writer perhaps gift you a story in this year's game...
• Reply on this post with what kinds of things you like to read.

<strong>Some preferred characters:</strong> [names] <strong>Some preferred relationships and/or types:</strong> [for example: gen, m/f, f/f, m/m, canonical relationships, non-canonical relationships, familial relationships, coworker relationships, etc., in addition to Nick/Natalie, Nick/Lacroix, Janette/Sofia, etc.] <strong>Some preferred themes, tropes, or elements:</strong> [for example: happy endings, self-sacrifice, first meetings, flying, mysteries, romance, post-series, historical, humor, AUs, Nick regaining mortality, etc.] <strong>A few disliked themes, tropes, or elements, if any:</strong> [for example: explicit sex, second-person narration, main character death, etc.] <strong>Some enjoyed crossovers, if any:</strong> [series/work titles] <strong>"Dear Author" letter or prompt list, if any:</strong> [link]


Important: Any FK fan may share a request (not only those planning to write). No one is obliged to pick up a request. Every story, gift or not, must use at least one of the common prompts. Gifting authors should intend to delight their gift recipients. Gift recipients should acknowledge stories gifted to them.
