FK Recently: What You Guys Have Been Up To (12/01/12-12/31/12)

[brightknightie]

As announced on the email lists by Lisa McD, the next FKFic-L "War" game begins on Sunday, January 13, 2013. If, like me, you're not playing, you can set your subscription to "-war" to avoid the war posts (unless you take digests, in which case there's no filtering). You can also read along without playing, of course! I would personally suggest holding any non-war fiction posts until February, but of course that's entirely up to each writer.

Now, for December, in Forever Knight, in my corners of social journaling, here's what I spotted:

Ficathons, Fests and Communities

• fandom_stocking will reveal on 01/06. Four people listed FK among their fandoms. Check out the volunteer post for stockings no one has yet stuffed.
• fkcommentfic/fkcommentfic has received two entries so far in its "Bloor Mistletoe Challenge," which remains open through 01/06.
• Yuletide garnered three FK stories this year, one an assigned exchange story, one a "treat," and one in "madness."
• oxoniensis will hold her 2013 "Porn Battle" game this month, with prompting 01/13-17 and posting 01/20-30.

Meta (Essays, Analysis, Discussion)

• 12/27: twilight2000 recommended "Tainted Draught" (then anonymous; now revealed as Greerwatson's).

Airings:
Chiller will not air FK in January or February. ~sigh~ Remember when FK was the SciFi Channel's idea of a great Valentine's Day marathon?

Question regarding FKCommentfic

[pj1228]

I've just been piling up the works I wrote in 2012 for a 2012 review post and stumbled across a couple of short pieces I had written for previous FKcomment-fic challenges and never posted elsewhere. This prompted the question if FK commentfic has a collection on AO3 where stories can be taken to?

Re: Question regarding FKCommentfic

[brightknightie]

May I please refer you to Amilyn? She is the moderator of FKCommentFic.

I believe that the answer is no, that there is presently no AO3 collection for her community, but I have not looked and don't know for sure. If you would like one and she agrees but does not wish to create it herself, I'd be happy to create it on her behalf; I'd just need her permission.

Re: Question regarding FKCommentfic

[pj1228]

Thanks! I'll ask Amilyn and let you know what she says.

It's airing in Germany! :) Same spot (in the middle of the night), same episodes (season 1).
