As people have yet to write fics for any of the requests, and I haven't heard anything else from anyone about requests they would like to make, I have decided to post a poll (open to all) to see if there is any interest in keeping this community going. Please vote and feel free to leave a comment.

This list is organized the same way as the last one. It is alphabetical by fandom, with more information about the prompts behind the cuts. I will be updating continuously as I receive more requests. Remember, stories can also be claimed off the September List http://community.livejournal.com/fanficwishlist/1638.html at any time.

October (aka Yeah, fall break and my birthday are coming up :)) [Sep. 25th, 2007|04:41 pm]

[Current Mood | hopeful]

This is just a reminder and update for anyone interested.
Requests: Anyone interested in requesting can either email me at leiadianaminerva@gmail.com or post a comment. You are welcome to request stories at any time. Requests will be added to that month's list. I am going to be limiting people to one request per month. Remember, you don't need to write to request, but for every story you write you are allowed another request.
Claims: There have been 32 requests so far, and only 5 claims; I would be thrilled to see more stories claimed. I would like September claims to be completed by the end of October. Anyone interested in claiming a request now and in October will have until the end of November. I completely understand that a lot of people are busy with RL and other writing projects. So, if there is a request you would like to claim but don't think you have the time, please let me know and I will mark your claim as a WIP. Completed claims can be posted to the community whenever they are done. New requests will be added to the October List, and stories can still be claimed off the September List: http://community.livejournal.com/fanficwishlist/1638.html.
October:
October is going to be an interesting month; between fall break, my birthday, Halloween, and new shows on TV. Requesters are welcome to ask for a Halloween themed story, or for fic from a new show (since I guess that can be considered rare ^_^). Writers are also welcome to write a Halloween themed fic, as long as it still fits the prompt.
 
As always, please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.

P.S. Fresh baked cookies for everyone that has requested or claimed so far.

I'm going with a group of college students up to Stratford, Ontario today for the Shakespeare Festival. Hence the getting up at 7 a.m., a god awful time to be up on the weekend. If anyone has a beta request or a Wish List claim, they are welcome to post or send it to me. I just wanted to let people know, not to be surprised not to hear from me this weekend.

Claim Update [Sep. 12th, 2007|09:06 am]

Judging from the responses I have gotten, most people think that the two month idea is much better. So, this how things are going to work. Any stories claimed from the September list will be due at the end of October. Those claims should be sent to me by the end of September at the latest. Any requests not claimed will be added to the October list which will be due at the end of November and so on. I am giving writers an extra month to complete their claims, so I hope more people will be interested in participating. Anyone with claims, questions, or suggestions, please contact me on the community or through email.

Urgent Question for anyone interested (AKA How am I going to get people to claim?) [Sep. 10th, 2007|09:25 pm]

leiadiana
[Tags|, ]
[Current Location |dorm room]
[Current Mood | stressed]

Requesting is now closed for the September list, so if you have any in mind let me know and it will go on the next list. There are a total of 32 requests this month and I would really like to see the majority of them get claimed. Looking over the list, I can see that some might take some time to write. Thus, I am considering making the list for two months at a time versus one. That way writers would have an extra month to complete their stories. However, I want your input. What do you think? Should I start a new list every other month, instead of every month? I am only going to continue this community if people are interested, so please respond back promptly. If I don't receive more claims for this list, I am going to have a hard time justifying continuing this community. Unfortunately, I can't write all of these stories myself, so if you are even remotely interested please let me know. Thanks once again to all of the people who have requested.

Incentive to Claim [Sep. 8th, 2007|02:10 pm]

leiadiana
[Tags|, ]
[Current Location |dorm room]
[Current Mood | bored]

There is one day left to make requests and as of this moment there are 32 requests posted on the list. So, far only one person has sent me claims, and I am a little concerned about how many people are going to be claiming. Thus, I came up with a slight incentive. I had said that requesters did not have to write, and that is still true. However, starting next month requesters must limit themselves to one request per month. The incentive is this: for each story a person writes, they will be allowed one more request for the next month or later. So, if you have a number of requests in mind, you will be able to request more of them earlier if you claim and write for other requests. Please let me know as soon as possible about any claims, mostly for my peace of mind.

[Current Music |trains down the street]

Anyone interested has until Sunday to email or post a request to me under the September list, after that requests will be held till the October list. I want to hopefully give writers enough time to fulfill these requests by the end of the month. I have so far received 27 requests, but would be delighted to receive more. On another note, claims are now open to anyone interested. Requests can be claimed multiple times, and writers can claim as many as they want. If you are interested in claiming, please either email me which requests you are claiming or post a comment under the September list itself. Upon discussion and reflection, I have changed some of my policies. So, disregard some of my earlier posts. While I would still like all stories to be betaed and am willing to beta them myself, finished stories can be posted directly to the site whenever they are completed without my review or approval. I will be out of the dorm sometime this weekend, but anyone with questions is welcome to contact me and I will respond as soon as possible.

P.S. A big thanks to everyone who has sent me requests and to those pimping the community to their friends. 
P.P.S. Oh, and don't mind Marvin. I was feeling kinda down yesterday, so he is temporarily making an appearance. Personally, I think he's cute, but that's just me.

Important Correction for Writers: Update [Sep. 5th, 2007|09:36 pm]

[Current Mood | distressed]

So, since my previous post apparently started a whole outcry. I have changed my community settings. Disregard my earlier posts, all members can post directly to the journal without my approval. I hope that settles things. I apologize if I have upset anyone, that was certainly not my intention. I am however fairly new to the whole livejournal thing, so give me a few more weeks to get adjusted to it. If you have any other issues, let me know and I will address them as best I can.

Important Correction for Writers [Sep. 5th, 2007|08:29 pm]

leiadiana

[Current Location |dorm room]
[Current Mood | amused]

So, I realized that I don't have to do everything on the community myself. "blushes" When you finish a story, you do have to email it directly to me so I can look it over before it is posted. However, you can post the story directly to the community yourself. It just needs to be approved by me, which I will not do until I have read it personally. 

LeiaDianaMinerva

I did not realize that this was going to cause a big furor. "blushes again" It has to be approved because I set up the community so that any post has to be approved. I know, sorry, but I don't want to try and change it right now. As far as the approval goes, it is really just a formality. I am not going to turn away any finished stories. The real issue is that I feel responsible to my requesters, so I would like to make sure that the story written is actually for that request. As writers I trust your judgement, as well as your betas, so I am not going to make you change anything to get my approval. As I said, it is just a formality, so that I know it fulfills that request. If as I writer, you have a serious issue with the whole approval thing, then don't email the finished story to me and I will approve your post without reading the story.

Fanfic Wish List Claims Rules [Sep. 5th, 2007|12:42 am]

leiadiana
[Tags|, , ]
[Current Location |dorm room]
[Current Mood | contemplative]

I have received a bunch of requests and I am hoping to receive a lot more. People can continue to send me requests until the end of this weekend, but I would like to get the claim process started now. Anyone interested, and even anyone who is not currently interested, please take a look at the September Wish List posted on either of my livejournals. As I get more requests they will be added, so even if there isn't anything there for you now, you can look again later in the week. Please let me know about your claim as soon as possible.

How am I handling claims? Anyone interested in writing for any of the requests may either email me directly or post a comment expressing their interest. Requests can be claimed by as many writers who want them, and I am hopeful that some of them will be claimed by more than one person. Writers can claim as many requests as they want, or even write more than one story per request. However, I would like to have all stories finished by the end of the month, so don't claim a request you know you are not going to write. If you do claim a request and something unexpected happens, please let me know and I will hold your claim until you finish your story. The requesters chose how much information to give. If you have any questions about the request, let me know and I will forward your question to the requester.
 
Finished stories should be longer than a drabble, but don't have to be huge. I am not asking you to rewrite Lord of the Rings (though there are some great versions on Twisting the Hellmouth), but they should be a good length and fulfill the request. All completed stories are to be posted by September 30 at the absolute latest (if you are really running late, stories can be put up the first week October if necessary). Completed stories must be betaed by at least one person. I am willing to beta any story, however the story must then be sent to me at least a week before deadline. That way I can return it with comments in time for any corrections that might be needed. If you want me to beta for you, either send the story to me or post the request on my personal livejournal. Stories will be posted by the author on the community as soon as they come in, and I ask that every author state whether they mind if somebody else posts or archives their story elsewhere.
 
Having set out a nice clear list of rules, I am now going to screw them all up. Looking over the current list of requests got me thinking. The point of the community is to have a new list of requests every month, which are filled by the end of that month. While that is definitely my primary goal, looking at the requests I realized that some of them might take a lot more writing. I don't want requesters to miss out on a great story, because a claimer has now gotten an idea for a whole series or something. If when looking at the requests you think of a plot that you know will take longer than a month to write, don't be discouraged. Let me know and I will make a note saying that that claim will take longer to complete.
 
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

The September Wish List [Sep. 2nd, 2007|10:25 pm]

[Tags|, ]
[Current Location |dorm room]
[Current Mood | discontent]

The list will be updated continuously, so please check back often for requests you want to add or claim. As of now, I have not received that many requests, but hopefully many more will come in. If there is a request you would like to add or claim, feel free to post a comment or send an email to me. The list is organized in alphabetic order by fandom, with more info about the requests behind the cut. How much info about the request, is dependent on the requester. Do you have to follow the request word for word? No, but since these are requests for rare fanfic, it would be nice. Claimers, please keep in mind that all stories should be a good length. These are requests for hard to find or unwritten fanfic, it would hardly be fair to the requester to just write a drabble. Also, I apologize for the weird font/spacing, everything should be the same font, size, and spacing. However, I am not the most technically skilled person, so oh well. "Sigh", "headdesk".

Fanfic Wish List Rules: [Aug. 29th, 2007|09:10 am]

leiadiana

[Current Location |dorm room]
[Current Mood | calm]

Requests: Because I would like all requests filled by the end of the month, I ask that you send or post any requests by the end of the first full week of the month (Saturday, September 8). Any requests I receive after that date, will be held until the next month (October). Keep in my mind that these requests should for fandoms or pairings that you cannot or have a really hard time finding. In other words, if you want Harry Potter fanfic, unless it is a really rare pairing, don't request it. When you send your request, give me the fandom and pairing that you are requesting. Be specific, but don't give me a whole story summary. Does everyone who requests have to write? While that would be nice, I am certainly not going to enforce it. I am well aware, that not all readers are writers. (some of us have misplaced our muse, I received another postcard, but I am still not sure where she is)
 
Stories: Once I start getting requests they will be posted to the livejournal, and updated continuously. If there is a request or requests that you would like to claim, please alert me as soon as possible. As these requests should be for rare fanfic, there is no problem if more than one person wants to claim a specific request. However, I would like to see every request get claimed. Do not claim a request that you know you will not be able to write in time. I don't neccessarily expect multi-chapter stories, but they should at least be longer than a drabble. If you claim a request and then find that you cannot write it in time, please contact me and I will either find a different writer for that request, or hold the request for the next month. Depending on the number of stories, I will probably not be able to Beta all of them myself. However, I would prefer if you have at least one person Beta it, before posting it on the community. All completed stories are due by the last day of the month (September 30) at the latest. If absolutely necessary, stories can be posted at the beginning of the next month (October).
 
Any other questions, feel free to contact me.

Fanfic Wish List (AKA how I am going to get my own fanfic requests filled) [Aug. 29th, 2007|02:06 am]

leiadiana
[Tags|]
[Current Location |dorm room]
[Current Mood | content]

Starting this September, I will be accepting requests for rare or unwritten fanfics for my new livejournal community http://community.livejournal.com/fanficwishlist/ . This community is a fanfic wish list for every month. Starting in September, members can post requests for fanfic stories they would like to read. Then as requests come in, members can choose to claim a request or requests to write themselves. As requests are filled, those stories will be posted on the site at the end of September. Then, at the beginning of October a new list of requests will be posted. Continuing this way each month. For anyone interested, you may also email your request to me and I will add it to the list.
 
Now, how is this different than all the other journals. Simple, by fanfic request I don't mean Horatio and Speed in such and such situation. As much as I love the pairing, it's not hard to find. No, I mean like those fics you might have seen my requests for, Law and Order: Criminal Intent slash or a Medical Investigation/Jake 2.0 crossover. Anyone interested please respond to this post as soon as possible, so I can get an idea of how many people are willing to be involved. I would hate to spend a lot of time on this and have noone interested. For those who already have requests in mind, go ahead and send them to me. Try to make requests as specific as possible, but don't give me a whole summary. Something like a Criminal Intent fic with a Goren and Logan pairing.
 
People this is your chance to finally get that pairing that you have been searching all over the internet for, so please respond promptly.
