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).

• 12/19: mysticalcat7 announced that she has uploaded the January 1996 forkni-l digests to the forkni-l archive. As you know, that was when SOS-FK began. (As you also know, she purges some name/address information by default, and will kindly purge more by polite request of affected persons.)

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?

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