So about FKFicFest 2021

[brightknightie]

It's time to start thinking about fkficfest for 2021. (Did you realize that this year is the 25th anniversary of the first airing of "Last Knight?")

I'll soon put up a poll with the usual questions:

• Do folks want to play this year, or skip a year?


• Do we want to play exchange-gift style or challenge-prompt style?
  • If we play exchange-gift style, I think we should adopt a modified HLH_Shortcuts sign-up style, instead of our original sign-up style.
  • If we play challenge-prompt style, how many prompts should we have? 1, 2, 3? We'll definitely elect the prompt(s), and use proper stack-rank voting, instead of first-past-the-post or points, to identify the most popular.
  
  
• When do we want stories to come due? We need ~2 months to write. So April, May, June, July, August?


• I hope everyone is okay with the minimum word-count staying lowered to 500 words...? No maximum, of course.

What else should our poll ask? What else should I consider?

Thank you!

I'm personally inclined to play prompt-challenge style again. Yet if folks would prefer to go back to gift-exchange style, that's fine, as long as we loosen our expectations of each others a little, so that writers don't feel burdened, and recipients don't feel disappointed, as much as possible.

I wrote up a model similar-to-HLH sign-up template for us last year: take a look at it?
