SG-1 Friendship Ficathon

... is Lyn's Almost Stranger. Team fic!

... is Ami Ven's Survival. Teal'c and Daniel, S5.

...Is Wonderland's Cast upon Foreign Soil. Early S1 Daniel and Teal'c!

The sg1friendathon has officially begun! \0/

The first entry is up on LJ, over here. There are many more stories in the queue on LJ than there are here on DW; if we can, the mods will try to post an entry directing you to the day's fic (and do the same on LJ, for when the daily story is hosted here).

Just a reminder: we will be releasing the stories at a rate of one per day, in the order in which they were submitted. I hope everyone will read and enjoy. :)

How's everyone doing with their Friendship Ficathon stories? With the ficathon going live on October 1st, there's just one week left to go to deadline!

If you want to panic, boast, or simply let off steam, let us know in the comments. :)

Remember that you can submit your story to the comm whenever it's ready. We've already got three fics waiting in the queue! \0/ Also, if RL or other issues prevent you from completing your story on time, please let us know as soon as possible. Further technical details are explained here.

One final reminder: many of you who have signed up have not yet given us an e-mail address. Please spare the mods the need to hunt you down when we need to get in touch by either dropping us an e-mail directly at sg1friendathon at gmail, or leaving your e-mail address at this screened entry. Thanks!

The Friendship Ficathon has now moved into the claims period! This stage will run for two weeks, from August 4th through August 18th. During that time, each participant may claim one prompt only. By claiming a prompt, you are committing yourself to writing a minimum of 1,000 words of gen fic by September 30th. Stories should be proofread and preferably beta'd.

In order to avoid accidental multiple claims of the same prompts, all claiming is taking place on the comm's LJ mirror. If anyone here at DW has a problem with making a claim on LJ, please comment here and let me know.

After August 18th, any unclaimed prompts may still be claimed - either by someone who has already completed their first prompt and wishes to do another, or by someone who has not yet joined the ficathon. Also, if you are having trouble with your ficathon story and would prefer to exchange your prompt for another, you may comment at the claims post, turn in your original prompt, and claim a new one.

All participants of the ficathon must give us a working e-mail address. Comment at this screened post and leave us your e-mail, or e-mail us at sg1friendathon [at] gmail [dot] com. We must be able to get in touch with you!

Stories are due on September 30th, but you may post them to the comm (either at DW or LJ, as you prefer) whenever you are ready to do so. Stories will be released from the queue one at a time, once per day, in the order in which they are submitted. The ficathon will last for as long as we have stories to post! :)

If, for some reason, you find that you cannot finish your story in time, let the mods know. You can e-mail us or leave a comment at the screened e-mail post.

When the ficathon is complete, we will have a week of Ficathon Frenzy, in which anyone can write stories of any length based on any unclaimed prompts.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to comment here. If you prefer to keep your questions private, you may comment at the screened post or e-mail us directly.

It's been two years since our last round. Time for a new one!

Look for an entry this Sunday for submitting prompts. There will be no obligation involved with prompting; you'll just be helping inspire ideas for potential authors.

See you all then!

Today is the last day for our week-long Ficathon Frenzy. If you're interested in dashing off a short friendship piece based (however loosely) on any of the unclaimed prompts from the ficathon, go to this entry and see what inspires you! You can find more detailed instructions here. Remember, there's no minimum word count; the only criteria is that the story must be gen.

The master post for the Frenzy will go up tomorrow.

We've had a really fantastic run for the 2011 SG-1 Friendathon. But a few people asked about stories that didn't want to be 1,000 words long. So the mods came up with the idea of the Ficathon Frenzy: a chance 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 are nearly 140 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. The only requirement is that the story must be gen.

The Ficathon Frenzy will run from September 1st through September 7th. 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 1st, 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.

In our fourth and final week of friendship fics, we had so many entries that I've put them under the cut:

And with that, this year's SG-1 Friendathon ends. The master post will be up later today or sometime tomorrow.

Don't forget that we'll be having a Ficathon Frenzy, starting on September 1st. All unclaimed prompts are available for fic of any length. The only restriction is that your story must still be gen. :) We'll have a separate post about that, too, before the Frenzy begins.

Suzannemarie and I would like to thank all you wonderful people for making this year's Friendathon such a fantastic success.
