Expressions of Interest

While it was originally a wistful wish, I think I may actually organise this: a finish-a-thon (or maybe a bunny-a-thon). The idea is, all those hoppy little plot bunnies that one has been neglecting in order to write ficathons, deserve a ficathon of their own. Participants would put up a list of plot bunnies and unfinished stories (of which they think they could finish one in the time given), each person would be assigned another person, that person would pick which one of the list has to be finished, and the first person would then endeavour to finish it in the allotted time.

I like this idea because I know ficathons get me to write more and quicker, providing both a carrot and a stick in their approach, but I do feel I've been neglecting me poor little lost plot bunnies, so I'd like to apply the ficathon magic to them.

Anybody interested?
When should I run it?
What length of time should I give for the writing?

Obviously, this isn't the kind of ficathon in which it would be possible to write backup fic -- is that a problem?

I think that's a really good idea, but I wouldn't take part unless it wasn't for another month or so because of the FC fiction party for which I usually write a decent-length story. I haven't even got an idea for it yet. [panics] :-(

But I'd love to take part in this.

Um, duh, forgot to answer the questions. :-P

Yep, I'm interested.
Start sign-ups in September.
Give people 8 weeks.

No backups aren't a problem, but you could get round it by putting up a poll and everyone taking part could vote for one plot idea for each other person. Just an idea.

Well, in the discussion taking place over here, it seems like December/January is more the time people would like, since astrogirl2 is booked up until September, and a number of people will be participating in NaNoWriMo.

Interesting thought about a poll, that might work...
