Welcome to our 2019 [community profile] fkficfest Forever Knight game!

This is our 10th annual game. We're marking the 27th anniversary of FK's premiere, the 23rd of its cancellation, and our ongoing affection for it and each other!

For the first time, we're playing challenge style. So we have no sign-ups, no matching, no assignments, no defaults, and no exchange! Instead, we have a shared prompt for all to address in common. We have a deadline so that we can have reveals. And we have a "wishing post" for those who like specific story requests. (Rules from past games apply. Stories must be at least 1K words, with other media equivalent.)

  • Our common prompt is "ten years" (or "ten" & "years"), celebrating our game's anniversary.
  • All fest fanworks must be in queue on the AO3 by Sunday, July 14, at noon Pacific Time, to be released throughout that week.
  • Check out the "wishing post" to leave or find specific story requests, if that's your cup o' Ribena.

Thank you very much for playing! Yay, us! Yay, Forever Knight!


Reminder: Back at our 5th game, we declared a jubilee and wiped out all past penalties. No one is suspended!

Sign-ups are now open for our 2018 [community profile] fkficfest Forever Knight exchange ficathon game! Welcome!

This is our 9th annual game. We're celebrating the 26th anniversary of FK's premiere, the 22nd of its cancellation, and our enduring regard for it and each other!

  • Comments are screened. I'll unscreen and answer any questions. Sign-ups will stay screened.

What's new for 2018? We'll play mostly as we did in 2017! This includes recipients acknowledging authors. Our innovations are (1) a new, optional, fifth, "Wildcard 2" prompt, and (2) longer lists of what we like to read. Both could help build strong matches!

This is our 7th annual game. Let's celebrate Forever Knight and each other! Fun, fanfic, and FK all around!

What's new for 2016? We'll play mostly as we did in 2015! We do have a longer timeline. And I've cranked up the crossover fandom ceiling to 15.

Sign-ups for our 2015 [community profile] fkficfest/[livejournal.com profile] fkficfest exchange ficathon are now open! This is our 6th annual game. Let's celebrate Forever Knight and each other!

Please read the rules and ponder your prompts. Then sign-up for the exchange with a comment on this post by Sunday, June 14 at noon Pacific Time. Please do promote the game to your friends and followers — new FK fans and old, in every faction, fraction and shade! Let's all revel together in our diversity, in the best FK way! Whom have you brought across? ;-)

Comments are screened. I'll unscreen questions and answer them for all to see. Sign-ups will stay screened, so please ask questions separately from your sign-up.

What’s new for 2015? We'll play mostly as we did in 2014! We've developed one new enhancement and one new contingency:

  • Enhancement: The crossover slots may list up to 10 other fandoms (up from 3). It's still just 1 prompt across all crossover possibilities, but if you have 10 fandoms that you'd love to cross with FK, list them all!
  • Contingency: In the (hopefully unlikely!) event of 8 or fewer players signing up for the exchange game, making good exchange matches prohibitively difficult in dearly fractious FK, we'll roll over to a good old FKFic-L challenge-style game.

Thank you very much for playing! It'll be a blast. Yay, Forever Knight! Yay, us! This is our "next 800 years together," you know. :-)

Comments are screened. I'll unscreen any questions and answer them for all to see. Sign-ups will remain screened. Please ask any questions separately from your sign-up.

What’s new for 2014? We'll play mostly as we did in 2013! However, we're running two new experiments to learn how happy they make us: (1) with certain requirements, crossovers will be permitted, and (2) multiple related small stories may add up to the 1,000 word minimum.

What’s new for 2013? The writing stage of the game is longer, getting the prompts out before US Memorial Day so that players may write over the holiday weekend if desired. Otherwise, game play is the same as last year! (However, door-prize drabbles/party-favors are discontinued.)
