brightknightie: Janette and Schanke in the Raven (LaCroissant)
The rules of play for [livejournal.com profile] fkficfest will be very similar to those used successfully in the [livejournal.com profile] femme_fic and [livejournal.com profile] oldschoolfic fanfiction story exchange events.  However, there's one big difference.  Those are multifandom; this will be FK-only.  Similarly, we can't quite parallel the rules for the single-fandom Harry Potter games that [personal profile] leela_cat plays, because those are single-genre -- even single character -- and we'll be playing across all factions.

For [livejournal.com profile] fkficfest, players will submit three FK prompts.  We need to differentiate them somehow to provide some diversity of choices to the writer and aid in matching.  My co-mod and I talked about the possibilities for that, the different available categories, and we settled on: gen, ship, other.  This should, we hope, help us get compatible prompts into everyone's hands.

But do you see the challenge?  Definitions!  What should be the definition of "gen"?  Is "ship" the best collective term for that which is not "gen"?  How about "romance"?  (I have trouble accepting that we need to say "het or slash or femmeslash" every time we mean "that which is not gen.")  We need, if we can get them, definitions that help spread contentment, not contentiousness.  ExpandRead more... )
