Some questions

[pf_mod]

Hi, everyone! I know I keep disappearing for long periods at a time, but I'll try to do better. Now, as per my last entry, I have some questions for all of you:

1) Community name

A couple of you commented on how misleading the community name was—I created the name before I knew that 'ficathon' was actually a specific term (Yeah, more than a decade in fandom, and I didn't know that. I'm ashamed.)

Does anyone have any better ideas on what the community should be named?

2) Timing

Timing is a little difficult in fandom these days—every month has a challenge, and it's hard to find a place with enough time to work in. I don't have any plans to change the dates of the challenge, but if anyone has any ideas, I'm up for suggestions.

3) Another round

I had so much fun creating prompts and reading the stories that everyone came up with the first time. Is anyone interested in a second round with new prompts or a mini-challenge? Perhaps in July?

Thanks so much!

1. poetryfic, maybe?

3. YES PLEASE, I'd love to do it more than once a year. Every six months sounds awesome.

A mini-challenge would be awesome--like w/minimum lengths of a drabble or whatever. Either where you assign us snippets, as last time, or... what about a commentfic sort of thing, where people can leave snippets of poetry that they choose & others can pick them up as prompts? Might be easier for you as a mod to run, but also super fun too!

(I say that as someone who still hasn't finished my fic, though. ;_; Long amnesty periods are both a blessing & a curse, I think!)

I like the idea of comment!fic (littlebutfierce's suggestion).

This challenge was so fantastic! I look forward to a second round. :D

I like finch's comm name suggestion.

The idea of doing a mini-challenge is a good one, as is the possibility of 2 regular rounds per year.

I like the idea of comment fic fest.
