FK Recently: What You Guys Have Been Up To (01/22/10-02/14/10)
Before I list all the exciting FK blog posts you guys have treated us to lately, I'd like to note a development elsewhere. Foreverknight.org has made the official debut of its Website Archive, which is
greerwatson's project to preserve FK sites that would otherwise have been lost when Geocities shut down. She has been working with authors like
hearts_blood to ensure that things that people meant to go down stay down, but everything that should be saved is saved.
On 01/31,
abby82 mused on her contributions to
crack_van over the past two months, and encouraged us all to participate.

And while we're speaking of things one step aside from my usual scan, everyone already knows about the FK Wiki, right? I believe that has been mainly susanmgarrett and
greerwatson's project so far. [Addendum 02/16: Susan observes that the project is actually Greer's, and she "deserves every molecule of credit for that work." My mistake! Well-deserved applause toward Greer, please.]
Okay! Recently on my LJ Friends List and DW Reading Page:
Ficathons
fkficfest: The FK-only ficathon community is open (welcome post), and the sign-up post will go up on Thursday 02/18 (three months before the final due date, 05/18). (Several people very kindly gave us a shout-out: my co-mod Amilyn, Havocthecat and Wiliqueen.)
femslash_today: On 02/10, I learned that "Femslash Today" is having its annual multifandom porn battle. Entries are welcome through 02/19. There are three intriguing FK prompts (no FK entries as of 02/14, as far as I can see).
17daysinfeb: On 01/28,
celli noted a multifandom ficathon about the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games. FK's characters could easily be in Vancouver during the Olympics! (As of 02/14, there are no tags, and seem to be no FK entries.)
halfamoon: To see FK-tagged entries on "Halfamoon," go here. There don't seem to be any yet for 2010, but the event doesn't close for many hours yet. (On 01/26,
abby82 remembered her FK contribution last year, and encouraged us to all play this year. On 01/21,
havocthecat let us know that the community was gearing up for its annual 02/01-02/14 multifandom celebration of female characters. FK's characters are eligible.)
- Porn Battle IX: The final total was three FK entries, all by
gnosticdiva. (On 01/27,
gnosticdiva catalogued her contributions to Porn Battle IX. On 01/26,
abby82 noted that the event was open and running through 02/01. On 01/19,
abby82 announced that prompts were being accepted that week (prompts, FAQ).)
- Gen in January: The final total is one FK entry, by
senmut.

abby82 shared the reveal that the vidder behind the FK "Cemetaries of London" is

Assorted Goodies
- On 02/06,
gnosticdiva mentioned that she's working on the Dark N&N site, including moving it to a new host; the move might cause some very temporary outages.

- On 02/02,
abby82 pointed us to a great sale on Deep Discount, of any FK season for $11.98. Unfortunately, the sale did not last long.
