thoughts toward this year's FKFicFest

[brightknightie]

We've had a week now with the prompts for this year's fkficfest. I hope at least one of the three will click with everyone interested!

It's too early for me to know which prompt I'll use or what story I'll discover, myself, but thinking on the options:

• I looked up the "You can't have a better tomorrow if you're thinking about yesterday..." prompt and learned that the person who said it is a historical public figure with a legacy in automotive, weaponry, and environmental unintended consequences. So a run-in with that person's work could be one way of addressing that prompt (alongside the clear call-out to Nick's lines to Alyce in DK1, and subtler call-outs throughout the series).
• Pondering the "When everything changed" prompt, it occurred to me that it could suggest an AU or time-travel of some kind, as well as a turning point known from canon in the characters' pasts or deduced or invented new. Or it could be played smaller-scale or for comedy with the change being something like a new haircut or a glasses prescription, rather than something more obviously world-shaking, like the AMPH asteroid or Vesuvius, or someone dying or being born, or becoming a vampire or being cured of vampirism, or learning a deep truth. And of course the change could be for one of our recurring characters or for a suspect, victim, neck-of-the-week, etc.
• While the "hidden witness" prompt can readily speak to a witness for a police investigation, whether a human witness or an animal, plant, or inanimate one, or a witness to vampirism (a la an Enforcers incident), the word "witness" can be either noun or verb, and as a noun can be either the possessor of evidence or the evidence itself, and it has specific legal and religious uses as well as its common use.

What do you think?

I plan to start posting about the fest to the usual places throughout this coming week. No more posting on yuletide for us, as FK finally outgrew Yuletide last year* and is officially no longer a "small" fandom, but: fandom_on_dw, fandomcalendar, fksquee, last_writes, and femme_fic. Any others?

* That FK outgrew Yuletide only just last year and BSG78 is still fully eligible witnesses to the voluminous loss of fanfic through the years. Library of Alexandria...
