Bujold ficathon

A madness took me, and I agreed to organize a ficathon based on the works of Lois McMaster Bujold, at [livejournal.com profile] bujold_fic. You can read more here.

Sign-ups have already started; I'll be handing out assignments on 12 April, and the deadline for stories is 24 May. So you have Easter to mull your story over - come and give it a go!

Won't be joining the ficathon (what, me try to write Bujold-verse stuff? The thought makes me tremble), but the existance of [livejournal.com profile] bujold_fic alone is intriguing.

Glad to have linked you to the community. Sure you can't be tempted to try your hand at Bujold-verse?

One ficathon at a time for me. I'm doing [livejournal.com profile] multiverse2004. And part of my trembling is that one of my choices for Multiverse includes the Bujold-verse, and it both intrigues and terrifies me. I just don't think I could get the character right. Except that maybe perhaps I might. The problem is compounded by the fact that the other character in that particular request is also an interesting-character-that-I-don't-think-I-can-get-right. Hence my tearing of hair.

I only found out after I got this ficathon up and running that Multiverse was running, with the Vorkosigan universe as one of the options - slightly kicking myself that I've probably cut down on sign-ups. Looking forward to seeing your story when it's done; hope you get the characters to behave!
