24 Ficathon (original) (raw)
15 January 2007 @ 03:23 am
Just a reminder to everyone involved in this - if you have a fic written, post it! We have some great stuff up so far, but there are a lot of good pairs that we have yet to see.
Also, I'm considering starting up a new version of this (hopefully easier) - same concept, but instead of choosing two anonymous characters, one anonymous pairing is chosen. This way they will be guarenteed to have some form of connection. What do you guys think? However, I probably won't start this up until we have more fics posted.
Let me know if you have any questions :)

All right, guys, just a quick update. I'm thrilled with the level of interest we've recieved :) All but six characters have been taken. For reference, the remaining numbers are 35, 37, 48, 49, 50, and 52. I'm hoping to see some fics posted soon! Some pretty interesting pairings have been created, I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
That being said, I'm going to address what seems to have become a universal issue: spamming. Now, it's no secret that some idiot has been posting nonstop about these 'WWJD?' bracelets, not to mention emailing people directly (myself included). So to put it simply, none of that. I've banned the user in question. I don't mind 24 related stuff being posted to a point - for instance, pimping 24 related communities is okay, and I'm even okay with fanfiction outside of the ficathon so long as that's made clear - but stuff like what this guy is posting is just annoying. Comment or email me if you have questions about what's acceptable.
That being said...let's start posting fics!

Comment in this post with your desired numbers!

Welcome to the 24 Ficathon!
Here's the deal: I have a list of 66 characters from the T.V. show 24. Each character corresponds to a number. Anyone interested needs to post a comment with either 2 or 4 numbers 1-66. I will tell you in a screened comment which characters they represent, and you're left to write a fic about them. I say 2 or 4 because you're welcome to do more than one, but no more than two at a time. If you apply for four characters at once you can feel free to choose which pairings you want out of the four.
The fic can be as long as you want it, whether it be a drabble or full lengthed, multi chaptered deal. All ratings and genres are allowed, but no crossovers. Other characters may appear but the fic must center around whichever two characters you wind up with.
This challenge will last until all of the numbers are taken, at which point I'll scramble the list and start it again. While there's no deadline for selecting numbers, after being notified of your characters, it would be best if you can have your fic, or the first chapter of your fic, up within two weeks. If a month passes and there's no post I'll notify you, and if I don't hear back from you after a week I'll put the characters back up for grabs. If there's a reason you won't be able to post it for a specific time period, email me or post a comment and I'll work with you.
When you do post it, make sure to include the following information:

Summary:
All entries must be behind an LJ cut. In the subject, post the characters and numbers you were given (e.g. 'Ryan Chappelle:23, Adam Kauffman:54).
I understand that there will be some pairings that are hard to deal with. If you can't come up with anything at all, email me or post a comment. I'll either offer suggestions or allow you to pick two more characters, and give your original two back, or if you prefer, pick one character and keep one. However, I'm only going to do this if there is truly no comparison whatsoever that you can make, and I can't come up with any suggestions. If you just don't like the characters that you have, sorry. The point of this challenge is to inspire you to be creative.
Please note that your story does NOT have to be romantic. For example, say I pick numbers 23 and 54, which hypothetically turn out to be Ryan Chappelle and Adam Kauffman. (They're not). If you want, go for a slash relationship, but it can just be a friendship or even a fic with Adam ranting about Chappelle. As long as it centers around them, then you're fine.
That being said, I hope you enjoy! Have fun :)
