Hello! Fic Now!

Calling All Buffy/Angel/Firefly Authors!

Thu, 11 Sep 2008 23:01:48 GMT

Got unfinished fic?

Can't seem to get that nagging fic finished?
Muse abandoned you mid-story?
Ficathon deadline making you anxious?

ficfinishing is an LJ comm devoted to helping authors finish stories.

(There's another comm coming later, ficstarting, to help authors *start* stories.)

The comm holds monthly fic finishing rounds. Each one is a short focused effort to complete a single partial story.

Sign ups for the September round are going on now through September 12th. At the moment we are only accepting sign ups for Numb3rs, Criminal Minds, Heroes, Blood Ties, Doctor Who, Torchwood, Bones, NCIS, Supernatural, Charmed, Blake's 7, Veronica Mars, Psych, Miracles, Buffy, Angel and Firefly though more fandoms will be added over time.

Please read our profile and our Welcome message to learn more about the comm and how to sign up as an author or as a first reader for authors.

If you like what you see, join and watch the comm. Most of the comm's content is f-locked, so you'll only get the full benefit if you become a member.

Our past rounds have netted a slew of finished fic and our authors enjoyed thousands of new words thanks to the comm. So if you really want to finish your fic, we can help.

Come check it out!

BtVS/AtS Fic Betting Pool

Sat, 16 Feb 2008 16:02:59 GMT

The Superbowl fic betting pool may not have panned out, but this one definitely should work! Details over this-a-way/

(xposted to hello_fic_now, baficathon, and multificathon)

Getting Near Closing

Sun, 03 Feb 2008 19:52:34 GMT

Only a few hours left until kickoff for the Superbowl, which is when the bets in the BtVS/AtS Superbowl Fic Betting Pool end. Head on over if you haven't already!

BtVS/AtS Superbowl Fic Betting Pool

Sun, 27 Jan 2008 22:39:10 GMT

It's like a ficathon that's winner take all! Go over here to bet which team will win and what the winning score will be, as well as what character you'd like to have written for you. If you get the right score and winner, everyone else in the pool writes you a 200-500 word ficlet (or more) about your chosen character. That means you win a whole lineup of fic about your favorite character. If someone else wins, everyone writes the winner a ficlet. If no one bets right (which has happened the last two years), no one has to write anything. Fics will be due two weeks after the Superbowl, February 17.

New comm - Nine Billion Names

Wed, 09 Jan 2008 16:23:00 GMT

Sign-ups are now open for ninebillion, a multi-fandom fic exchange focusing on the role and importance of faith (or lack thereof) in our favourite characters' lives. All faiths/religions/beliefs are welcome, both real and fictive, and being brave and ambitious in your work is positively encouraged. For those who don't feel able to commit to the schedule of a fic exchange but would still like to participate, a list of claimable prompts has also been put together to help get those braincells working.

Sign-ups open: 6th January
Sign-ups close: 1st February
Fics due: 15th March

The core fandoms are "Buffy," "Angel," "Babylon 5," "West Wing," "Firefly," "Doctor Who," "Heroes," "Battlestar Galactica," and 'wildcard' fandoms such as "Life on Mars," "Rome," "Red Dwarf," "LOST," "House M.D.," etc., are positively encouraged. The community will provide on-going support, including writing resources and beta readers. So, come on. Don't you want some fics on why Kendra's so devoutly a Slayer, how having gone to Heaven alters Buffy's view on God and the world in general, or what it's like for Illyria to be a god that's lost it all?

For sign-ups see here,
for any questions see FAQ, or contact the moderators, kangeiko and darlas_mom.

x-posted all over the place--sorry if you get it more than once

The Multifandom Navel Gaze-a-thon! (title courtesy of rahirah)

Tue, 18 Sep 2007 03:17:35 GMT

A multifandom 'thon for all you meta lovers out there.

Here's what you get to choose to write:
1. DVD commentary for a fic you've written

or

2. An analysis of your canon. This can be whatever you've discovered across your entire body of work or a segment of it determined by you (pairing, date, fandom etc.) or as tkp so perfectly put it: "You can write ... an in depth analysis of control dynamics between your male and female characters throughout your entire body of work, or answer the question, Why Do I Always Write About Cheese? It's a chance to talk about yourself. Indulge yourself. It doesn't have to be difficult or mind-bending to be informative or illuminating to others."

Sign-up with your name and email address, mostly for email reminder purposes. You can write about any fandom, pairing, theme, character. I just want to read meta about your body of work.

The Important Stuff
Sign-ups: Friday, September 14th - Sunday, September 23rd
You can sign up with your name and email address at InsaneJournal or at Livejournal. The lists will ultimately be compiled and cross-posted.
Due Date: Saturday, October 20th
Reply in comments to the Masterlist, to be posted on October 19th, with a link to your meta.

Ethan Rayne ficathon masterlist

Wed, 12 Sep 2007 18:21:50 GMT

The master list for the Ethan Rayne ficathon An Antique Roman is almost complete, with thirteen stories about the Chaos mage posted. There are gen stories as well as a range of pairings with Giles, Dawn, and Lindsey. Give 'em a read!

Buffy ficathon

Fri, 31 Aug 2007 07:47:03 GMT

I thought that Buffy deserved a little more love from the fandom, so I decided to organise a small ficathon:

The "Buffy Is the Hero, Damnit" ficathon

This ficathon is about Buffy, Buffy and more Buffy. It's not about who Buffy's sleeping with. It's about Buffy. The girl, the slayer, the woman, the hero. So while pairings of all kind are allowed, the focus is on the gen side of things.

Deadlines:
- Sign-ups end: September 9th
- Assignments sent: before September 16th
- Final deadline: November 11th

more information in the sign-up post here

Do you think maturity is sexy? Do you think characters don't stop being attractive at midlife? Then the Forty or Better Smutathon is for you.

Forty or Better celebrates older characters through sexy fanfiction. All fandoms and all erotic permutations (solo, f/f, f/m, m/m, threesomes and moresomes) are welcome, and Buffyverse requests are more than welcome. Sign-ups accepted now through September 15th.

For more information, please check out the detailed rules here at forty_or_better.

Ethan Rayne ficathon signups open through Saturday

Fri, 29 Jun 2007 22:05:48 GMT

Two more days to sign up!

Ethan Rayne, Chaos mage, servant of Janus, old friend of Rupert Giles, clever with candy and Halloween costumes. He's more an antique Roman than a Dane, or so he says. He's up to his usual tricks. Or perhaps he's up to some new tricks. Or perhaps he's working with the good guys. Or making some money. Running a con. In over his head. The mastermind, the fall guy, the victim.

Whatever it is that Ethan is up to, we're relying on you to tell us all about it in An Antique Roman, an Ethan Rayne ficathon for 2007.

The short version: Sign-ups are open until until midnight Saturday, PDT. Assignments go out July 3. Fic is due Sunday, August 26. Minimum length is 750 words. Want the long version? Come sign up!

Ethan Rayne ficathon signups open

Sat, 16 Jun 2007 17:44:38 GMT

Ethan kicks over the traces. Ethan messes up your perfect hair. Ethan staggers drunk through the wedding reception and glides sober and elegant through the Dead Man's Party. Ethan is fun. Ethan is dangerous. And he never lets Giles set himself in concrete.

This summer, we let slip Ethan Rayne upon an unsuspecting world.

An Antique Roman, the short version: Sign-ups are open until June 30. Assignments go out July 3. Fic is due Sunday, August 26. Minimum length is 750 words. Want the long version? Check out the sign-ups post.
