Multi-Fandom Fan Fiction

Sign-ups are now CLOSED

Yes, after months of delay, the sign-ups are here at last.

Announcing... finish-a-thon 2010! 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. This system is slightly different to how it was done last year (while I'm using a wiki again, I'm using a different wiki).

PLEASE let me know if you have any problems.

Statistics:
Blacklisted: 3
Tried: 8
Partial: 8
Finished: 12 (YAY!)

Stories are now due!

No, don't worry, they aren't due yet! You still have a couple of days. But since I've had a few people already tell me their status, I figured it was a reasonable thing to post the master-post early, so early-birds could get their worm.

Stories are due on the 27th. It will be later than 10am Australian Eastern Standard Time, because I am going to be sitting in a doctor's waiting room at 10am...

If you have finished
Make a comment here, saying "finished", and the URL where the story is.

If you have a partially complete story
Make a comment here, saying "partial", and the URL where the partial story or 1000-word extract is.

If you have nothing to post
Make a comment here, saying "tried", and some explanation as to why you did not succeed.

I am using the awesome power of the finish-a-thon wiki to present the story-finished results in a neat manner, in the Author Status Page. This page will be updated periodically as the information comes in.

Note that there are authors who have indicated to me that they will have something posted by the deadline; I have put them under "tried" until I actually have a URL in my hot little hands.

ETA:
The following people are in danger of being blacklisted:
average_goof
beccastareyes
graycardinal
thetisonline
melannen
vana_tuivana

I hereby open the voting for the 2009 finish-a-thon!
As you may have noticed, this year I decided to have a separate post for each poll, since people complained that the poll posts were too huge. Now I suppose people will complain that I'm spamming their friends pages... Oh well.

There are 31 authors who have signed up.
Don't forget to read the FAQ.
Participants get two votes. Non-participants get one vote.
The voting finishes a week from today, on the 28th of March 2009.

Voting is now CLOSED!
