Calling all Star Wars writers!

[emmagrant01]

We all know that there's not nearly enough Star Wars fanfic in the galaxy. There should definitely be more of it. But how to motivate ourselves to write?

jedirita and emmagrant01 are hosting a
Master-Apprentice Fic-A-Thon!

So here's the way it works:

1. Everyone is invited to think of story challenges. Whatever you want: specific events, certain pairings, usage of certain words or phrases, etc. Be creative, wild, insane. Send all the challenges to Rita at jedirita@yahoo.com, or leave a comment in this entry detailing your challenge, from now until August 23. We'll post these challenges on our website when the list has been compiled.

2. Then until the end of August, anyone who wants to may claim a challenge. We'll keep the list updated, so everyone can keep track of what challenges have been claimed.

3. Challenge stories may then be posted to the MA list during the month of September. (Or post them to your LJ if you like and let us know, so we can pimp it on the MA list for you!) The timeframe will give us something to aim for.

4. We will have tons of new fic and there will be great rejoicing!

So what do you think? Does that sound worth a try? If so, go ahead and send Rita your challenges or submit them here by commenting. You can send as many as you want, as specific or vague as you want. Everyone is invited to participate: lurkers, BNFs, oldies, and newbies!

And please spread the word on LJ by linking to this post!

Just a thought, if you wanted to call it a Fuh-Q-Fest, you could register it with the FQF's and get a lot more promotion that way. Thought I'd offer it as an idea for pushing the fest.

I actually thought of doing this some months ago but wasn't sure if there would be enough interest. Hope it works out for you.

I have quite a few challenge idea I came up with at that time, I will send them to you if you'd like them.

I didn't know there was a registry of FQFs! Where is it? I doubt we'll change the name this time, but we were thinking that if it was successful, we'd try it again later. That would indeed be a great way to promote it...

Yes! Please! Email them to Rita, if that's easiest.
