SG-1 Friendship Ficathon

It's been a fabulous 2013 SG-1 Friendathon. Perhaps you didn't take a prompt for the ficathon and have thought of something you wanted to write. Perhaps you had ideas for one (or more) of the prompts, but didn't have 1,000 words to say about it. Well the Ficathon Frenzy is here to fill the void. It's the final lightning round opportunity to write a friendship fic of any length and post it here on the comm for everyone to enjoy.

Here's how it works: go back to the original prompt post and browse through the unclaimed prompts. There well over 100 of them! Prompts that are struck through were claimed and used in the ficathon itself; those are unavailable for the Frenzy. Anything else is fair game.

If you choose to write a prompt, you don't have to claim it. Just go ahead and write! Even if five different people write a fic about Jack and Teal'c and tabloids, or Sam and Janet on a girls' night out, we'll be happy to accept them all. There is no minimum word count, and you can interpret the prompt as broadly as you'd like. There's no maximum word count either. The only requirement is that the story must be gen.

The Ficathon Frenzy will run from October 28 through November 3rd. During that week, you may post to the comm as often as you'd like, with as many ficlets as you'd like.

Please use the following template:( under the cut. )

The idea of the Ficathon Frenzy is to have fun -- the more, the merrier! We hope you'll all post signal boosts in your own journals to spread the word. Here's hoping the Frenzy will be as successful as the ficathon itself. :)

Submissions to the comm will remain screened until the 28th, so if you've got a ficlet you want to submit, feel free to post to the comm now. We'll release everything from the queue when the Ficathon Frenzy goes live.

One Chapter Closes

We are approaching the end of the 2013 sg1friendathon. I hope all of you have been having as much fun as we have.

By the weekend, we will have cleared all stories currently remaining in the queue. This means that the few of you (and I think you know who you are) who missed the October 1 deadline still have a precious 48 hours or so to put finishing touches on whatever you may be working on. (There's no judgment being passed on anyone who has not or cannot finish. We've all run into stories or life situations that just won't cooperate.)

Once all stories have been cleared, I will be posting a master list for easy referral to all of the wonderful stories that have been submitted. After that, we will close the friendathon with a week long ficathon frenzy. This will be a free-for-all chance to tackle any unclaimed prompts with quick little (or long if you're a fast writer) stories. To whet your appetite, here's a link to how it worked last time. Perhaps you wish to look over the prompts and do some advance pondering. This is just a heads up for those of you who like to plan your spontaneity--please wait to submit any frenzy offerings until I've put up the official call for them a few days from now.

Thank you all for your enthusiasm and participation so far. It's been a joy--with more to come. :)
