Everywoman is on for 2024 (and nominations are open *now*)

To my surprise -- though it should not have been as these are exactly the same dates as last year -- everywoman, the annual fanfic exchange for stories starring women characters, popped up on Saturday evening at full speed:

• Nominations: June 1 (yesterday) - June 9 (one week from today)
• Sign-ups: June 10 - June 21
• Assignments out: June 23
• Assignments due: July 25
• Works revealed: August 1
• Authors revealed: August 8

Folks may nominate up to 10 fandoms, with up to 10 characters or groups each. To facilitate matching, nominated groups are specifically denoted "and" (not "&" or "/"); the requirement is that a story include both characters, and it's up to the writer, with due respect to the requester, how.

As you may remember, everywoman is a spiritual successor to now-defunct exchange games like Femme_fic and Rarewomen > Rarelywritten. Its definition of "female characters" is very generously broad, but there are limits, so check the rules if you have an extreme edge case.

Addendum: I've now nominated D&DC, HL, and JttW to help seed the tagset. I'll add more later.

FK signal-boosts

nicholas_lucien spotted on Facebook that Fred Mollin, FK's composer, is selling his copies of the two "Dark Knight" episode scripts (that is, parts one and two). He will sign the scripts if asked. Learn more on Facebook. (See Nicholas_lucien's DW post.)

This is the time of year that I actually open ForKni-L digests, so I saw McLisa post that she's seeking a copy of an FK story she wrote and lost long ago, probably titled "The Werewolf of Toronto," and that she would greatly appreciate anyone who can share a file or a link. It's a lighthearted Halloween story in which, among other things, Nick and Schanke, working undercover at a Halloween parade, become their costumes (a la BtVS), and while Nick is dressed as a movie vampire, Schanke is dressed as a werewolf.

And while I have you, I should plug fkficfest again! Not that you don't know that we've reached the halfway point, with eight stories revealed and eight yet to go.
