Ficathons Anonymous

[lizardbeth]

With sabaceanbabe I have decided that the (fic)world needs Ficathons Anonymous. Because -- we both swore off them, that our last one would be the last. And yet, we simply could not resist the allure of the Helo Shagathon .

Clearly, we have a problem.

The first step to dealing with a problem is realizing that you have a problem, so we're well on our way. The second step is creating joining, Ficathons Anonymous .

So, I'll start our first meeting.

Hello. My name is Lizardbeth, and I'm a ficathon-aholic. I just signed up for my latest ficathon even after I swore I was all ficathonned out after yuletide, sg_rarepairings and potcsecretsanta. I have a problem. *sniff* I need your help.

Does anyone else have this problem and would like to talk about it?

most of 'em pop up in the various fandom newsletters. But I'll tell you there ain't never gonna be a Jeremiah one... :( They only happen in big, active fandoms.

But the drabble/Big Damn table ones count. And you've done two, now, right? See, you're an addict too. So pull up a chair.

y'know what's scary? Before you so (wonderfully) fulfilled my NYR, I was going to propose on VS that we should try to fulfill the NYR requests, swap them around, and add a few for people who didn't get a chance to do one. A ficathon, in other words.

OMGWTF! I AM AN ADDICT!

fandom newsletters? and the attempt to rally support for a jeremiah ficathon is underway :D Not that I know how to organise one

There's sg1_debrief the SG1 newsletter (currently on hiatus for the holidays, but should be back shortly, I hope), or the sga_newsletter for SGA. those usually will pick up the challenges/ficathons/etc for a given fandom if they're not ones you find through your flist. I watch the SG-1, SGA, Supernatural, BSG, and PotC fandom newsletters because those are my main fandoms right now. I know of several more. But just check through friends-of-friends, or interests if you're also into Sentinel or something like that, because they exist.

I can help organize it, if you want. I've done several so I know how they work.
