Femgenficathon

Every prompt has been taken.

I'd like to thank everyone who signed up. I'm really looking forward to seeing what stories come out of this.

So here's the sign-up post for the femgenficathon.

The ficathon is multifandom. It is also an open ficathon. You can write in any fandom you like, about any canonical woman you like. I hope this will make it easy on the participants.

(Also, I have a feeling that a lot of stories never get written because no one ever asks for them in fic exchanges. This is your chance to to write the story you've thought of writing--maybe DREAMED of writing--but that no one ever requests.)

There will be prompts. More about that after the rules.

What's acceptable and what's not are both spelled out in the rules.

The due dates--first and last--are both mentioned in the rules.

Here are the rules. Read them carefully before you sign up.

Now. Prompts.

This year I did something a little different. I realized this year that I didn't really know who a lot of the women being quoted were. So I started doing some research in order to include some information about them with the quotations. I checked websites belonging to some of them, fansites about them and their work, sites on particular subjects (like early aviators, Nobel Prize winners, women scientists, ancient history and medieval history), art museums, online copies of medieval books, letters and operas, a plethora of quotation sites, Uppity Women of Medieval Times, Uppity Women of the Renaissance...and yes, Wikipedia and Wikiquotes.

To get these hundred and fifty-one quotations, I researched five hundred names, if not more. I learned a lot. I found women of every time, place, nationality and race, ranging from women of the twentieth and twenty-first century to Chinese artists and Sumerian priestesses. I found women I'd never heard of before, and I quoted them. I found many, many women who had done a great deal in life, but who--regrettably--had left no words behind, let alone translated or quotable ones.

And in almost every case--whatever the location, whatever the era--I found women who accomplished not only one thing, but many things.

So here is the list of numbers. Pick a number and get a quotation. I won't be closing the list until all the quotations have been chosen.

But bear in mind--these are the only quotations. Once these are gone, they're gone. I don't have any backups.

If you have any questions, ask them in the comments, and I will do my best to answer them.

Good luck to all of you! I hope that some excellent stories come from this!

In two days, femgenficathon is starting again!

Hello. In less than a month, it will be time to sign up for Femgenficathon V. However, I'm wondering if it would make more sense to shorten the deadlines--that July to October is too long a posting time. And so I'm asking you when you want the posting period to be.

Sorry that there is no "TICKY BOX!" option.

Poll #1361705
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All

Signups for FemGen will start in April. When would you rather post stories?

As always, feedback is welcome and appreciated!

Contrariwise

We have a few changes.

First, there are now links to all four Master Lists at the top of the Femgenficathon page AND on the profile.

Many, many thanks to erastes for all of her hard work. I really appreciate it.

Fandom: Lord Meren Mysteries
Rating: PG for Ancient Egyptian Swearing
Warnings: None. Well, warning for... history?
Prompt: Arbitrary power is like most other things which are very hard, very liable to be broken--Abigail Adams
Summary: Bener hates to be left out of things. This fic has been through so very many different iterations. It tried to be Bare, Iron Man, and Ender's Game, but finally settled here. The Lord Meren series is a lovely out-of-print series set during the reign of King Tut. Thanks to my lovely minkhollow for the beta, and apologies for the lateness. My life is shit at the moment.

Yes, I'll be adding stories to this; I know that some people will be submitting late. But these are the stories that are in so far, and they're superb, every one of them. And what a lot of new and rare fandoms there were to read this time!

Wonderful, magnificent job, all of you. Thank you for making this ficathon such a success. I feel both honored and flattered.

Title: Wakening from the Dreaming Forest There
Author: athenejen
Fandom: Pamela Dean – Tam Lin
Rating: PG
Warnings: None.
Prompt: 92) Nine-tenths of our suffering is caused by others not thinking so much of us as we think they ought. -- Mary Lyon. Interestingly, the essence of the story turned out to be the exact opposite of this sentiment, in a way.
Summary: In which Peg is pursued, and decides.
Author’s Notes: Enormous thanks to farwing for her super-speedy, helpful beta, and to gehayi for organizing this round of femgenficathon. The title and cut tag are from the poem “Lost in the Forest,” by Pablo Neruda. The concept of this fic was very loosely inspired by the stories of Daphne and Metis from Greek mythology. It is one possible version of Peg Powell’s story, and may not make much sense if you haven’t read the book. The style and structure are both a bit experimental; all feedback and constructive criticism is welcomed and cherished.

Summary: In which Morwen loses her house, meets a princess and a knight, does a favor for the king of the dragons, makes a new friend, and finds a new home, all within two days. This story uses some of my personal backstory for Morwen, but it should be perfectly comprehensible to anyone who's read Patricia C. Wrede's books... and, hopefully, even to people who haven't.

Summary: Mrs. Robinson has a long-overdue conversation with Elaine.
Notes: Section headings are from Simon and Garfunkel’s “Bookends.” I meant this to be a follow-up to A Still-Life Watercolor of a Now-Late Afternoon, but somehow it ended up going in its own direction, with a rather different and less self-aware Mrs. Robinson.

We are made up of layers, cells, constellations. -- Anais Nin.

Fandom: Iron Man movieverse
Rating: PG
Warnings: Some swearing, minor violence
Prompt: 115) There are few things more disturbing than to find, in somebody we detest, a moral quality which seems demonstrably superior to anything we ourselves possess. It augues not merely an unfairness on the part of creation, but a lack of artistic judgement. -- Pamela Hansford Johnson. Okay, so the story ended up totally unrelated to the prompt except in so far as it inspired me to focus on two characters who canonically don't like each other.
Summary: One is the personal assistant to a billionaire-playboy-turned-superhero. The other is an ambitious journalist with a political conscience. Together, they fight crime!

Title: Circles in the Water
Author: lareinenoire
Fandom / Character: Shakespeare, first history tetralogy / Cecily Neville, Duchess of York
Rating: PG13
Warnings: Nothing explicit, but a very high body count. Spoilers for all three parts of Henry VI, Richard III, and the last forty years of the fifteenth century.
Prompt: #9. Guard your honour. Let your reputation fall where it will. And outlive the bastards. -- Lois McMaster Bujold
Summary: 'Long die thy happy days before thy death, / And, after many length'ned hours of grief, / Die neither mother, wife, nor England's Queen!' (R3 I.iii.206-8) The curse was not meant for her, but Fortune's wheel cared not for intentions.
Wordcount: 6971 (excluding notes)
Notes: This is not historically accurate. It takes as its basis Shakespeare's version of the fifteenth century though I have tried at points to compromise between Shakespeare and reality. Since the Duchess is absent during the three parts of Henry VI, I have taken some minor liberties with the text, and added elements from Edward Hall's Chronicle, Polydore Vergil's Anglica Historia, Thomas More's History of King Richard III, and The Mirror for Magistrates. There are more detailed notes marked throughout. Many thanks to rosamund and angevin2 for beta-reading my several thousand drafts.
