multificAnnouncing... finish-a-thon 2008! Yes, we're doing it again.
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.
Sign-ups are now CLOSED.
The way it works is this:
1) Sign up.
In your sign-up comment, list a short description all the plot bunnies, unfinished stories (apart from other ficathon stories) and vague ideas that you are putting up for voting on. Say what universe(s) it's in, a very brief description, and some idea of what rating and type (gen,het,slash) you think it will be, to give people a good idea of what they'd be voting for.
Also give your voting preference, whether you wish your story to be voted on by participants only, or all interested parties.
2) Join or friend![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
multific, so that you will recieve assigments, important notices, and reminders. I am NOT going to notify people individually.
3) A poll is made, each "question" consists of the potential stories of one participant.
4) We vote for which story we want each person to finish. The winning story in each section is the one which that author has to work on.
5) Each writer works on their winning story, and finishes it by the deadline. They then put it up on the web somewhere, either in their journal, or on a website.
6) I will post a master-list of all the stories, so that people can find them.
7) Everyone rejoices!

Questions
What do you mean, not other ficathon stories?
Unfinished stories from other ficathons already have a ficathon for them. This is the Home For Lost Plot-Bunnies that don't have a ficathon of their own.
What if I want to use this story for fanfic100?
(or crossovers100 etc)
Well, this is supposed to be for stories not associated with other ficathonish things... but if it so happens that after you've written it, you find that it fits into your Big Table, well, those challenges aren't averse to using stories from other sources, are they?
Are there any restrictions? This isn't an anti-slash thing, is it?
This is for fanfiction, not RPF (Real People Fiction). Otherwise, there's no restrictions. They're your own ideas, hence, your responsibility. Just let people know, in the descriptions, what kind of story you think it will be, so that they can vote wisely.
What about sequels? Can I include bunnies for those?
Sure. Just give a link to where we can find the previous story or stories.
What if my story is a huge epic that I'll never be able to finish in 8 weeks?
We want to encourage story writing, so, if a story is an epic, still put it on the list, but commit to writing 10,000 words of it, or finishing it, whichever is shorter.
10,000 words? You gotta be joking!
I did say "epic", didn't I? It's not as hard as NaNoWriMo.
Is there a minumum number of bunnies required?
Yes. Three. We need something to vote on, after all.
Is there a maximum number of bunnies allowed?
Yes. Ten. Otherwise we'll never be able to decide. Just pick the bunnies you most want to write.
Who gets to vote on what I write?
When you sign up, say what you would prefer:
(a) other participants only
(b) all and sundry (that is, get your friends to vote so you get a better idea of what your peers want)
I will put a note as part of your poll entry as to what your preference is. I won't be able to enforce the preferences, but we can hope that people will be considerate.
What if I don't know what story to vote for?
Try. It is possible to not answer a poll question. But please do try to pick one story from everybody if you possibly can.
What about my own stories? Do I pick one of mine as well?
Nup. The point is to find out what other folks here wish you to write.
If you want to see the results of the poll, click on the "submit" button without selecting anything else.
What if there's a tie in the votes? Which story would I write?
Toss a coin. If you can't toss a coin, I'll toss one for you -- just ask.
Arrgh! I never thought people would vote for that story!
People will surprise you. They'll vote for anything, however unlikely you think it. So be prepared to write any of the story ideas you put up, don't assume that people won't vote for the wierd one that you put there half-jokingly.
Is there a minimum length requirement?
Unless you committed to writing 10,000 words of an epic, no. However, it seems a bit pointless to waste an 8-week ficathon on a drabble. But I don't want you to be sweating over length requirements. Stories have natural lengths; try to pick story ideas which would naturally fit into more than a drabble.
Is there a maximum length requirement?
No, but do remember you've only got 8 weeks.
I didn't finish! Can I have an extension?
No. If you have a Real Life reason for not being able to finish (like "my computer died" or "my mother broke her hip") then you can have an exemption. After all, it's your story, you will finish it later.
Otherwise:
(A) post what you've managed to write so far, indicating that it isn't finished. You will then get a week's grace period in which to finish or revise the story. Note that those who do not post anything by the deadline will NOT get a grace period.
OR
(B) Write me a nice note saying, "sorry, I couldn't finish". The flimiser the excuse, the more grovelling required. You get a gold star for participating.
OR
(C) Drop out without a word or excuse. This will get you banned from participating next time.
I finished my story, but it isn't betaed!
As with unfinished stories, if you post something by the deadline, you get a week's grace in which to revise. If you don't post anything, you do not get the grace period. Do not treat the grace period as an extension to the deadline. It is not.
I didn't finish my story last time. Can I still sign up?
If you gave it a go, sure. If you bailed out for no reason and didn't even bother contacting me, no.

For each plot-bunny...
Fandom: Anita Blake
Description: This is pretty much a mystery, more in the vein of the earlier books. So, serial killers, magic, and vampire and werecritter politics more than sex and relationships. Set sometime after Incubus Dreams.
Type: I'd call it basically gen, though there are definitely het elements based on the canon relationships and slashy subtext consistent with the books.
Rating: R
Fandom: Stargate: SG-1/Stargate: Atlantis
Description: This is a massive AU where the Ori successfully invade Earth while some of the SGC manages to escape to Atlantis. This covers more than 4 years in the life of Atlantis.
Type: The relationships are secondary to the plot but there are both het and slash pairings.
Rating: PG-13 to a soft R
Fandom: Moonlight
Description: A future fic where Beth takes matters into her own hands and finds a vampire who will turn her. Things go very very badly.
Type: Het with some fairly heavy slashy subtext
Rating: Hard R

Fandom: Doctor Who
Description: AU from the TV movie in which the Master succeeds in taking over the Doctor's body, but the Doctor's mind is still in there somewhere.
Type: I was going to say this one'd be gen, but it seems likely to at least have slashy overtones.
Rating: Um... PGish? PG-13, maybe?
(2)
Fandom: Doctor Who
Description: AU in which the Doctor succeeds in curing the Master's crazy and then wishes he hadn't. A short piece of pure angst.
Type: Probably gen.
Rating: PG-ish.
(3)
Fandom: Doctor Who
Description: An expansion of the drabble to be found at here (http://astrogirl2.livejournal.com/338028.html), only with the Eighth Doctor subsititued for the Ninth. Basically, an Eight/Leela encounter that takes place immediately before the destruction of Gallifrey. I've actually got most of this written, but it needs finishing and probably a lot of editing.
Type: Het.
Rating: PG-ish for some violent content. Will contain kissing but no sex.
(4)
Fandom: Farscape
Description: Rygel is de-aged to a tadpole. Expansion of this silly little snippet (http://astrogirl2.livejournal.com/516729.html?thread=7146617#t7146617).

1. (Indiana Cregg)
Fandom: The West Wing
Description: A semi-comic, semi-serious rip-off of the Indiana Jones movies, starring the fab four from the West Wing. CJ Cregg as the intrepid adventurer, Toby Ziegler as her reluctant companion, Sam Seaborn as the naively adventurous journalist who tags along and Josh Lyman as (I haven't worked out this dynamic yet!) either the 'damsel' in distress or the 'native' guide. Adventures abound.
Type: Gen with a side of slash.
Rating: up to R, I'd have thought, no higher.
2. (Dupont Circle)
Fandom: The West Wing
Description: Sam Seaborn is a male prostitute, Toby Ziegler is his client. One of those difficult love stories. This has been sitting on my harddrive for over three years now and I'd really like to get it done.
Type: Slash.
Rating: Probably up to NC-17.
3. Like A Bright Exhalation in the Evening
Fandom: The West Wing
Description: An ongoing canon-based series (http://raedbard.livejournal.com/tag/like+a+bright+exhalation+in+the+evening), now up to its eleventh chapter. I'd be committing to another two chapters or ten thousand words, whichever works out in the time. (The last chapter *was* 10,000 words ... )
Type: Slash. Though canon dictates a bit of leeway on that one at the point I'm currently at!
Rating: Usually hits a low R or less.
4.
Fandom: The West Wing
Description: An expansion/adaption/jumping-off-from of this ficlet (http://raedbard.livejournal.com/582229.html), tapping in to my substitute lovers and pseudo-incest obsessions. (Less awful than it sounds ... ) In the aftermath of Toby's death, Sam and Toby's son Huck get into a relationship.
Type: Slash.
Rating: up to a high R. Probably.
5.
Fandom: The West Wing
Description: AU. Kind of TWW meets the Discworld Watch books meets Michael Chabon's Yiddish Policeman's Union. Toby and Sam are, again, the major players, though the other characters will probably feature too.
Type: Gen, with a side of slash.
Rating: Up to R.

Fandom: Blakes 7
Description: Post-Star One AU--Blake and Avon are stranded on a planet known only as Hell. While waiting for rescue, Blake gives himself to Avon as an apology. At first, Avon resists this form of expiation, but eventually gives in to his baser desires. What evolves is a strange dom/sub relationship involving sex, verbal humiliation, begging, and Avon drawing computer code and math equations on Blake's skin.
Type: Slash
Rating: NC-17
(2)
Fandom: Blakes 7
Description: The blind Blake story where he becomes Orac's lover and Avon is pining for Blake but it never happens because Blake falls in love with Orac. Perhaps there is even an android body in Orac's future because you can only have brainsex for so long before you want to bump bodies.
Type: Slash? Dunno, Orac's a box.
Rating: R
(3)
Fandom: Blakes 7
Description: That Blake/Zen fic that I keep playing with but haven't seriously worked on yet. Mostly it's Zen courting Blake and how their relationship affects the others.
Type: Slash? Again, this is questionable since Zen's a ship.
Rating: R. Maybe stronger.

Fandom: Shakespeare/Muppets
Description: Oberon's straying again. Kermit's overseeing a Muppet Theater production of "Midsummer Night's Dream". Titania casts a spell....
Type: gen (veering slightly into het)
Rating: PG
This was first conceived as a response to two different Yuletide NYR requests -- but Yuletide discourages crossovers and the relevant NYR deadline sailed long ago. About 3200 words so far; Act III, Scene 2 has just started.
Snippet:
Shrugging, Kermit put down his pen; the prop budget would wait. As he poked his head through the curtain, Miss Piggy was waving a cowboy hat and declaiming, “Come, now! A roundup and a fairy song, then add the third part in a minute. Fence! Some kill the bankers in the muskrat beds, some war with Batman for his leather wings....”

Fandom: Jackie Chan Adventures/Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego?
Description: The world's greatest thief steals the jade carving of Shendu from Section 13 -- without realizing just what she's got hold of.
Type: gen
Rating: PG
I think I started this long enough ago that Carmen was still on the air, and bogged down two and a half chapters in -- around 4600 words of what I'd guesstimate at a 25K-word plot.
Snippet:
Uncle’s two-fingered rap landed on Tohru’s elbow, that being as high as the old man could easily reach. “Perhaps pigs will fly!”
There was a pregnant pause while the rest of the group pointedly didn’t remind him that where talisman magic was involved, pigs occasionally did fly. “All right, bad example!”

Type: gen
Rating: PG
I have a bunch of unfinished Kim Possible projects hanging fire over on FF.Net, but so far this actually isn't one of them. Rather, what I have is the first chapter of a story I started awhile back after watching a couple of less-than-stellar attempts at KP/PR fusions go by on the update screens. (From what I've seen, most of the existing fusions basically port the KP characters into the Rangerverse; I decided it made more sense to insert Ranger continuity into the KP milieu.) First chapter (about 2700 words) written, of a purely guesstimated 10-12.
Snippet:
“Yes, well,” retorted Kim, “the Rangers only need those zords when DNAmy grandé-sizes her Cuddle Creatures.”
“True,” said Ron. “And Bueno Nacho should sue her for infringing their grandé-sizing trademarks. But as long as she can make super-giant cuddly monsters, it’s a good thing we have beautilicious Power Rangers around to kick super-giant cuddly booty.”
The beginnings of a frown were forming on Kim’s face. “Earth to Ron, enough with the beautilicious Power Rangers already. I’ll bet you none of them know sixteen kinds of kung fu....”

Rating: At least PG13, very possibly R.
This exists so far purely in brief synopsis form. As written, it's likely to be decidedly dark as compared to the movie (although not without comic relief), and would almost certainly be the longest of any of the stories on this list -- I may not finish in this timeframe, but if this one's picked I'll certainly commit to at least 10K of wordage by deadline.
