Actually, in the comments on LJ, one person said she was lost, and two people seemed unsure what I was talking about.

I know that we will have at least one player who has never played a ficathon before, and at least two others are on my f-list. I imagine we may have more, coming from fkfic-l, as with the one I know for sure.

(Also, this swing to favor for an "opt-in" model in which one "orders up" a dream prompt ("I will accept only these kinds of prompts with only these characters in only these time periods") seems unworkable for a small fandom and worries me. I hoped that giving examples of prompts might make the usual mechanism more clear.)
