Bujold Fest 2008

[altariel]

The Bujold Fanfic and Fanart Fest 2008 is now underway! Thank you to sahiya for organizing!

The format is different this year. Between now and June 29th, prompts are being collected (on that post), from any of Bujold's universes: Vorkosiverse, Chalion, Sharing Knife (and, um, the other one that I haven't read). Posting a prompt or two doesn't commit you to writing a story or producing some art (although that would be lovely), and it does give people something to work with.

After the 29th, there will be a post listing all the prompts, broken up into categories. At that point you can claim a prompt (or more than one).

Posting will during the week of August 10th through the 17th: each day will have a category (a Chalion day, Vorkosiday, Sharing Knife, etc.) and the last day will be a Free-For-All in case you miss your day.

Full details here, so go and prompt!

I think there are comms for publicizing ficathons. I'll look into that (and possibly post on rarelitslash) and ask quietann to pimp it on the mailing list. And I'll post reminders this weekend and next week to the comm.

The comm really does run itself and everyone seems to play nicely together. What I would like to do is go back and tag old entries so people can find things. One of the major drawbacks of fandom on LJ is that it's impossible to find stories if stuff isn't tagged or in the memories.

Going back and tagging stuff is a really good idea. If you wanted some help with the slog work, please just shout. (I could take a year and work through, or whatever you wanted.)

I certainly hope it won't take that long! But the help would be much appreciated, thanks.

LOL, pesky English language! I mean, I'll take 2006 or 2007 or whichever and work through. Shout when you need me!

HA! That makes more sense. Yes, that'd be a good way to do it. I think it was created in 2006, so really if I took one, you took one, and I roped someone else into taking one, it wouldn't be that bad. It's not the most active comm in the world, after all.

:-) Yes, once you're happy with the tags, it should be pretty quick to do.

kerravonsen informs me that multificathon is a comm for publicizing ficathons too.

Ahhh, thank you.
