Multi-fandom Ficathon Pimp

| fic_rush, the two-day ficathon |
[23h15 | Sunday, June 7, 2009] |
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) fic_rush is a monthly, multi-fandom fanfiction marathon. You spend as much as you can of a 48 hour period writing fic, and tell everyone how you're doing by posting in our hourly check-in threads. You can chat, encourage each other, set goals for yourself...and then get back to writing fic. It's a great way to push past writer's block or just connect with other authors.
Round 1, which is sci-fi themed, is this weekend, starting Friday night/Saturday morning at midnight GMT.

| masked_ball art/ficathon, Bastille Day edition! |
[10h07 | Friday, May 15, 2009] |
masked_ball, a pan-canon, all-genre art/ficathon is open once more! We had a great turnout last year, with lots of great stories and art. I hope those of you who participated will come back, and that those of you who missed it the first time around will check us out.
How it works: story and art ideas are submitted, compiled, and claimed anonymously. You'll have until July 13th to write/draw, and the results will be posted, anonymously, throughout the summer. When everything's done, we reveal who did what.
Here's the prompt submission thread, and keep in mind you can submit prompts even if you don't want to create anything.

| Finish-a-thon 2009 Sign Ups |
[12h30 | Saturday, March 14, 2009] |
Remember all those poor, neglected plot bunnies that have been starving from lack of attention, because all those ficathons kept on having higher priority? The stories you wish you could finish, if only you could find the time? Well, fear not, the finish-a-thon is coming to the rescue!
The finish-a-thon is a ficathon, with all the ficathon-like things like deadlines and fellow volunteers to encourage you, but with this ficathon, you write your own ideas. But since part of the encouragement of a ficathon is writing things for other people, what we're going to do, is vote for which story ideas people should write.
See the full sign-up announcement for more information.

remixthedrabble just opened signups for round 5 of their mini-fic remix challenge. Feel free to drop by and sign up as a Remixee (authorizing others to remix your fic) or a Remixer (remixing a work of another author in 100 to 500 words), or both! This challenge is open to any and all fandoms, including rpf, as long as you bring along a few friends so we'll have someone to match you with.
Signups are open until Saturday, October 18, and finished ficlets will be due November 15. Come by! It'll be fun. :)

The District is Delightful and Delicious
In an attempt to generate some new "The West Wing" fiction, I posted a drabble challenge to my fandom journal, ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) 38gnihsurc. The guidelines and themes can be found at the above link. I hope some of you will participate---it's only little bits of writing and if you're suffering from writer's block on other projects, sometimes a break and brief pieces can be good brainstorming activities.
Anyway, please check it out and I hope you participate!

Sign-ups for Multiverse 5000 have less than a week to go! This is the last Multiverse, so let's go out with a splash.
For those not familiar with the concept, the Multiverse Crossover Ficathon is a fiction exchange where writers sign up to write a crossover based on the requests of another writer, and get a story written for them in return. The crossovers involve a certain set of fandoms, all of which are space shows. (Except for the fandoms that are actually space books or space movies, but you get the idea.)
Timeline
March 7th: Sign ups start.
March 21st: Sign ups close.
Sometime soon after March 21st: Assignments handed out.
June 31st: Stories due in.

| BtVS/AtS Superbowl Fic Betting Pool |
[17h40 | Sunday, January 27, 2008] |
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.

| Holiday Faith Fic A Thon |
[18h40 | Monday, December 10, 2007] |
|
Please all join The Faith-Holiday-Fic-a-thon crappy_gifts . It’s a Holiday based Faith Lehane Fic-a-thon and More! So, we know our little (or better yet big grown-up) hot-bad-ass likes Christmas. She hung the lights in her dingy motel room, bought Buffy and Joyce "crappy" gifts, and stayed with Joyce on Christmas night while Buffy left her alone (that bitch!) So, I want to do a quick holiday, Christmas, Chanukah/Hanukah, Kwanza, New Year’s Eve fic-a-thon for her. I'm sure she'd take any holiday she could get because, hey, a high-school-drop-out, ex-con, child of an alcoholic, Slayer can't be picky. So, here this goes...Or tries to. I've never run a community or fic-a-thon in my life. So, I'm just having a give-it-a-try-theme. Rules are very easy. All ‘ships welcome. You can also post old holiday fics, just request, or discuss.
