Write It

everyone must join me and sign up for the roswell ficathon.

naturally, i am only looking down the barrel of two ficathons or challenges at the moment, so of course i have to sign up for another! *sigh* i need more free time to write these.

but i had to sign up, see, cause its roswell, my first great love!

Oh man... Soooo tempting. :) What exactly is a ficathon though? I've never participated in one before.

ficathons are FUUN.

you make a request ("i want fic with Michael covered in whip cream and drunk"), things you dont want to see in this fic ("The Sheriff"),state things you WILL NOT write ("Max is nasty, ew.") and then the person(s) in charge mix and match requests. they then send you one and you write to the request, while someone else is writing to your request (and its not the same person you are writing for).

you generally get a word minimum, as well as place to post online when you are done. i requested Candy, of course, and protested Dreamer and Polar. 'Cause ew.

half the fun is being handed the challenge, and you have to cater to those points involved. the other part is finally getting to hand out something youve always wanted to see, but have never gotten around to/wanted to write yourself.

the main thing is to specify what you WONT write. i wont write porn, cause i cant write it without giggling and blushing, and i wont write Max and Liz or Polar of any kind.

sign up! sign up!

Oh, okay... that's really cool. :) I think I'll try it. I just need to think of a good idea to give to someone else. *g*

ooh, yay! they really are fun. and it doesnt even have to be anything fabulous as a challenge. mine just says, "Bring on the Candy!", so dont worry too much about it. just sign up and have a good time.

I've done my duty, I submitted. *g* Couldn't think of a good challenge, but I have missed the Roswell muse. Em dovey, wouldn't it be funny if we got each other's challenges? I actually had a good idea for yours... *g*
