Finish-a-thon 2009 Sign Ups!
Sign-ups are now CLOSED
Announcing... finish-a-thon 2009! 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.
This year we're doing it a little differently; I have set up a website to facilitate the ficathon, including a handy-dandy sign-up form which should make entering all the information easier.
Thank you to all the people who helped me test it; the test data is all deleted now, so if you "signed up" in the test, then you now need to sign up for real (if you're signing up, that is).
Dates
Sign-ups end:
Australia - Saturday 21st March 2009, 8am
Rest of World (GMT) - 20th March 2009, 10pm
Stories due:
Australia - 27th May 2009, 10am
Rest of World (GMT) - 26th May 2009, midnight
(more detailed date information is in the Rules and FAQ page)
Edited to add: Note that you can edit your sign-up information as much as you want until the sign-up deadline, at which point editing will be disabled.

You Can Share Mine.” Alan and Margaret Eppes often take their 3 year old son Don with them on peace marches. At one of them, the Eppes wind up marching next to Naomi Sandburg and little Blair. The boys hit it off, and Don offers to share his daddy with Blair, who doesn’t have one. Then Alan gets arrested, and Blair uses his mighty 5-yr-old wisdom to comfort Don, who is terrified that he’s not going to have a daddy either. Told from young Don’s POV.
Awwwwwwww!
