RarelyWritten assignments achieved

[brightknightie]

The rarelywritten ficathon assignments have arrived at last! And because I did offer in three fandoms people requested (as well as offering in best-beloved fandoms that nobody requested ~wry~), you don't know for whom I'm writing! Well, unless you're batdina, whom I told. ;-)

I believe that either argentum_ls, malinaldarose or greerwatson must have my prompts. Be kind to them. :-)

And, hey, it's not too late! Didn't sign up in time for the exchange? You can still sign up to pinch hit! Several unmatchable slates went out to the pinch-hit list by email today, seeking claimants. Judging from past years, we'll see more throughout the run of the game as people drop out.

I believe that we've hit upon a happy method for this year's fkficfest/fkficfest, but I'm hoping to gather just a few more opinions before posting a final plan this weekend.

Maybe...maybe not.... =)

[greerwatson]

Well, I made an accurate prediction of my assignment: it was, indeed, either A or B.

[brightknightie]

Not knowing is part of the fun! :-) I'm glad you're playing, regardless, and hope that you received a highly compatible request.

[brightknightie]

:-) Whichever, I hope that it proves very inspirational and fun for you! :-)

As a general rule, I'm not find of surprises. Indeed, they usually really upset me, personally. But for an exchange game, that much of an element of surprise -- not knowing for whom everyone is writing -- is part of the fun.

[argentum_ls]

I got assigned to exactly the person I was hoping for. Whom I was assigned, though... :)

[brightknightie]

Three cheers for hopes fulfilled! Congratulations! :-)

Yes, indeed, play this card close to your vest... ;-)

[malinaldarose]

It is less compatible than I would like, making it quite a challenge, but I shall manage. I hope.... =)

[brightknightie]

If it happens to be one of mine, please feel free to rearrange, reconfigure or reinterpret... or toss this year's prompts and source elsewhere. I trust your insight into our shared canons; I'll be pleased to follow where you want to lead.

If it's not mine, let me know if you'd like to bat around ideas! I can sometimes ask the right dumb questions :-) to inspire wise story answers.

[malinaldarose]

Let me just say that I'm writing Forever Knight, and I will be binge watching the second and third seasons for the next couple of weeks. And speaking of which, time to retire to the couch with a notebook and pen....

[brightknightie]

Oh, exciting! I will look forward to your story very much, and try not to nudge, as obviously there's a finite pool of recipients there. But if you do want to poke at canon or anything of the kind...! :-)

I hope that you enjoy the rewatch enormously. First is my personal favorite season, but second and third also contain so much. Their budgetary constraints make them more and more like a stage play, and thus so much more dependent on the acting, directing and writing. Sometimes, at this end of history, rewatching FK when I haven't for a while, I find myself floored by how much story they packed into an episode, under all the constraints of the '90s PTBs' dislike of arcs.
