fkficfest| FK Fic Fest 2025 |
May 5th will be the 33rd anniversary of "Dark Knight," Forever Knight's series premiere. May 18th will be the 29th anniversary of "Last Knight," the finale. And 2025 will be our 16th FKFicFest!
Most everything will be the same as last year: challenge-style, minimum 500 words, minimum 51% FK for crossovers, ~2 months to write, etc. One exception is that we won't select prompts via brackets again this year; we'll go back to ranked-choice voting, with the exact method dependent on how many prompts we want.
This poll is for community members. (Join us!) The poll will close at 11:59 PM (Pacific Time) on Friday, February 21, 2023 (or, really, the next morning). Thanks!

Errata: The "Pick up to 2" is a mistaken copy/paste from the previous version of this poll. I cannot edit a posted poll, so I cannot fix it. My apologies!

What might a better schedule look like?
Date: 2/13/25 03:49 am (UTC)Originally, the fest happened in May because May holds FK's premiere and finale anniversaries. Over time, it seemed also important to keep it out of the way of HLH_Shortcuts, Yuletide, and Rarewomen>Everywoman, as many folks played those. It's been as late as July and as early as April, I think. The scheduling has depended partly on polling and partly on my work schedule... and surely partly on inertia.
Re: What might a better schedule look like?
Date: 2/15/25 07:45 am (UTC)Normally, once June starts, my schedule opens up. This year, I'm planning to take a trip the first week of June, and then I'll be
Please don't move the date on my count, though. There are so many pieces that have to fall right, starting with the prompts having that right spark.

Date: 2/13/25 03:32 am (UTC)This is the second error noticed so far in this poll; I clearly should have waited to post until another time when I was sharper. I'm sorry.
