multific | Finish-a-thon Master List

This is the Master-List for the Finish-a-thon 2005! The stories are due TODAY. Participants, post your story somewhere (a web page, your LJ) and give the link in a comment to this post; I will update the main post.

Your story must be posted whether it is finished or not. Whether it is beta-read or not. Just give us what you have so far, letting us know in the comment whether it is finished, unbetaed, or unfinished. But don't panic. I am allowing another week for participants, if they so desire, to post revised versions; just give another comment to this post, letting us know that there is a revised version available (and give an updated link if it needs one). I will update the master-list.

Note for readers: the stories here are an enormously wide mixture, from G to NC-17, gen to slash to anything in between. Caveat Emptor!

Yes, but I don't want to have to do it. Well, it wouldn't be feasible this time around, because I don't have people's email addresses. And I don't want to have to do both, because, judging by this one, I will be extremely stressed out trying to finish my own story, and having to do everything twice just because people can't be bothered to friend this community... is making me cross, right now... (sigh)

Well, when it's your ficathon, you set the rules. But in my limited experience, no matter *what* the rules are, someone's going to get confused by them, or ask to be excused from following them. It seems to be a law of fandom.

I hope you had more fun than annoyance out of this finishathon. :^) I enjoyed it, even though I didn't do as well as I'd hoped.

Yes, thanks very much for organising this. It's a great idea and you did well. I don't think I've ever been in a ficathon where people didn't default.

I'd give the dates in US ones next time, or the day before the one you want. I know some ficathons do ask for e-mail addresses then e-mail you with reminders, but that still doesn't stop some people from failing to produce anything.

I liked this whole idea because no one was left story-less which can happen in the sort where you write for someone else.

Thanks again. I hope you do another one as you said you might.

Thanks.

Despite my unfinishedness and inadequacies, I want to say thank you too.

I have to admit, I messed up on dates too but with considerably less excuse - I thought "oh, it's still 28th over there" and blithely forgot (none so forgetful as them that don't wanna remember) that you're not over there, you're over here...

But I have no excuse except lack of inspiration and overabundance of RL (the Family Letter is also late - I must write that tomorrow or get disowned).

And I'd like to echo the "thank you"s!

Sadly, I think it was only to be expected that a number of people didn't finish. (And, personally, if I were almost finished or just waiting on a beta, I'd doubtless have held off a couple of days, myself, rules or not, because my dislike of posting things unfinished is possibly even greater than my dislike of missing deadlines. So I can understand that there was tardiness as well.) But, regardless, this was a very cool idea, and it prompted me to write something I'm not entirely unhappy with, and which I'm pretty sure I would never have written otherwise. And, while I haven't had the chance to read most of the posts yet, what I have read, finished or otherwise, has been good. Heck, I'd say this thing was entirely worthwhile just for having led to the production of the two stories I beta'd.

Thanks.

One of the things I'm glad about with this finish-a-thon is that we've got a bunch of longer stories out of it... that's another thing that the plethora of ficathons works against; ficathon stories tend to be short, quick things, which all have their place, but I'd like to encourage the longer stuff too.
