Ficathon date reminders

The rarelywritten multifandom ficathon mods have extended sign-ups through Tuesday, March 3, at 11:59 PM Central Time (adding 48 hours). You can easily check the sign-up summary, nominations set or even specific requests — and my own "Dear Author" letter ;-) — as you decide whether to play.

The fkficfest/fkficfest Forever Knight ficathon pre-game poll continues through this Friday, March 6, at 6:00 PM Pacific Time, as originally scheduled. We're up to 11 responses! If we play, 4 will definitely, and 3 will probably, write. (We can play a challenge with just the 4, but we'll need more for a successful exchange. Trust me; I've seen 5 years of sign-ups and results. FK was born to faction. ~grin~)

And, yes! There are indeed other interesting FK-friendly games currently open or coming soon: genprompt_bingo, unconventionalcourtship, "Friends will be Friends," once_upon_fic, "Prime Time Desserts" and "3-sentence Ficathon." More?

FK Recently: What You Guys Have Been Up To (2/01/15-2/28/15)

For February, in my corners of social journaling, here are the Forever Knight items that I spotted:

Ficathons, fests and communities

• fkficfest/fkficfest, the FK ficathon, continues polling through 3/06. Should we play this year? If so, when?
• rarelywritten, a multifandom exchange ficathon for rarely-written characters who aren't cis-men, has extended its sign-ups through 3/03.
• genprompt_bingo, a multifandom bingo-style challenge for gen, is open 3/01 through 5/31.
• unconventionalcourtship, a multifandom prompt-claiming challenge ficathon for romance, is open through 4/30.
• last_writes, the community for closed vampire fandoms, is still around. I posted in it to promote the FKFicFest pre-game poll. (I also posted to ForKni-L.)
• As always, the recommendation communities fanart_recs and het_reccers are seeking volunteers to recommend worthy content!
