SG-1 Friendship Ficathon

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.

The Ficathon Frenzy is now open for stories of any story length! Submissions are no longer being screened, so feel free to post ficlets based on any of the unclaimed prompts from the year's ficathon.

You'll find more detailed instructions here. The prompt list is here. Anything that isn't struck out is fair game.

The Frenzy will run for a week. Here's hoping we'll see lots of great stories!

We have now completed three weeks of this year's Friendship Ficathon! Here are the links to this week's stories:

Passing Time, by Eilidh. Daniel. Anise.

But We Have Dwelt In Tents, And Have Obeyed, by Thothmes. Team.

The round-up for week one can be found here. Week two is here.

As we've mentioned before, the comm will be thrown open for a Ficathon Frenzy ( with further details under the cut. )

Suzannemarie and I would like to thank everyone who participated so far, including those of you still waiting patiently for your turn in the queue. The ficathon has been a wonderful success and it's fantastic to see such a high quality of gen fic. Here's to more SG-1 squee!

It's three weeks to July 31, when everyone's entries should be submitted so we can go live on August 1. How's everyone doing? We're very excited to have several stories already waiting in the queue. It looks like the sg1friendathon is shaping up to be a real success!

For those of you (like me) who are still in the planning/writing/editing/panicking-and-running-around-in-circles stage, you're not quite ready to submit your fic... but it is time to know how to do it. :)
