Finish-a-thon 2012 Sign Ups!

Announcing... finish-a-thon 2012! 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.

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.

PLEASE let me know if you have any problems.

Dates
Sign-ups end:
AEST: Saturday 31st March 2012, 8am
GMT : 30th March 2012, 10pm

Stories due:
AEST: 9th June 2012, 10am
GMT : 8th June 2012, midnight

(more detailed date information is in the Rules and FAQ page)

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.

Is this a url or a link?

Ok minimun 7 000 words! Got that.

I see... and how many no-deadline-prompt-inspired-stories are we allowed? At least more that one, please? Because as I said it is 500 stories that have to be written for that challenge inspiration thing and well... I kinda stick to every idea a prompt because otherwise I'll never write anything for that... I mean they are plot bunnies that need someone to help them be born... and no one is going to do that in the 500themes community... I mean no one has ever managed to complete it. ever... so... how many are we allowed?

It's for the pre existing chapters of one story. I don't know what else to say...

well... I haven't stick to 2 a prompt and I could just take one out as well so I'll have three but I have to say that since you allow for the missed deadline stories one entry, for the stories that just have prompt to inspire them and no deadline to help them be written you should at least allow one as well. I mean it's not a ficathon in teh traditional sense... it's just a prompt table.

I mean if by ourselves we were inspired by a quote we found on our own to write a story, would that mean it's not eligible for here? It is pretty much the same thing... just instead of quotes you have phrases or words to inspire you and no one to help you in ANY way with them... you sign up just to have the right to post at the community.

I have a proposition then, can I start writing the stories without the prompt, write what I have to write here and then add the prompt? Because the other community thing allows us to use old unfinished stories if they fit a prompt... so how abou that?

You are ok, and I am ok, huh?
