Expressions of interest

[kerravonsen]

I am considering whether I will run a gen_remix ficathon; like remix_redux but gen only. The rules would be similar to RemixRedux, but all the qualifying stories would have to be gen (and the remixes also).

It won't, however, be worth doing if there aren't enough folks interested. I know there's a huge number of folks who do Remix, but that doesn't mean that anyone would necessarily be interested in doing both, or in doing a gen remix instead.

ETA: By "What minimum story length?" I mean, the length of stories that have to be written, not the length of qualifying stories. I'm assuming that the stories-which-qualify rule would be as for RemixRedux (500 words).

Well, my preference would be annually, but I'm not the arbiter of the universe. I will say this: you're never going to find a time with NO ficathons; there are just too many. So just avoid the ones that are major competition. NaNo is November, Yule is December, Remix is Feb-Apr. When is Multiverse, again? And the finish-a-thon? There must be some time available mid-year.

Last year, Multiverse was March-July, and the finish-a-thon was August-October (this is including the time for the sign-ups). There isn't any year left!

Well, I don't think you need to count the time for the sign-ups. The important thing is to stagger the due dates, not keep them from overlapping entirely. People do write more than six fics a year--even I can manage that. ;-)
