As mentioned, I'll open this year's

fkficfest sign-ups no later than this Saturday, March 11. If you're thinking of playing (please do!), this may be a good time to start pondering what new FK stories you'd love to read, and what new prompts may inspire them!

Because there're so few of us, and because our interests can be so factional, if you've played before, it's not unlikely that your match this year could have received one of your prompt slates in a previous year. A freshly hatched prompt may be most likely to spark a blooming new story...? Not that recycled, rerun, never-attempted prompts don't also have their places!

Just something I've been dwelling on. :-)

We have 8 answers on DW (and 1 on LJ) to the 2017 FKFicFest pre-game survey. Should we play this year? When and how? The poll is open until 11:59 PM Pacific Time tonight, February 3 (or, you know, when I turn on my computer on Saturday).

Planned changes: we'll be playing in the spring, we'll be codifying that acknowledging your exchange writer is expected, and we'll be minimizing LJ posts in favor of DW.

Thanks!

I wish you a very happy and healthy new year! And I wish all those in positions of leadership, inspiration, and power the wisdom, compassion and determination to help everyone to a better year and a better world. ♥

You've probably heard about LiveJournal moving to Russian servers (Morgandawn's post). If you're LJ-only, you may wish to look over the guide to DW for LJ users, especially how to import/back-up your LJ to DW.

So: I'm thinking! :-) What are you thinking?

By the end of FKFicFest 2016 in early October, my job had reached a frantic, manic, all-consuming pitch. It didn't let up for some time. I hardly know how I finished the fest. I hope that I did thank all of you who wrote and read! (Thank you!!!) I know that I never did post a wrap-up here of this year's 9 inventive, insightful, new FK stories.

I'd like to do that now. And, maybe, if you missed them before, help you find some last 2016 tales to enjoy before the Yuletide reveal? It was a creative year in FKFicFest!

Let's see whether I can sort to help you find those you'd enjoy most:

( By time period ) ( By genre ) ( By personal appeal )

I'm reminded that it's past time for a "recently in FK" bulletin post. Oops! Maybe soon.

In the meantime, I wanted you to know that

dlyt has posted 2 new FK stories inspired by FKFicFest!

"Quest for Lunch" (G, gen; 1,253 words; Schanke & Nick) was inspired by one of her recipient's (lastscorpion) other FKFicFest prompts.
"Resistance Is Futile" (G, m/f; 1,067 words; Natalie/Nick) is a generous, thoughtful — and unnecessary! don't get a mistaken idea! ;-) — thank-you to me for moderating FKFicFest.

Dlyt, and everyone, you're very welcome for my part in the fest. We could never do it without all of us together!

You may remember that we pushed this year's FKFicFest later in the year, trying to get it out of the path of an all-consuming product launch at my workplace. As Murphy's Law would have it, they ended up unfolding simultaneously anyway. I'm exhausted. I've barely slept in weeks. Today, when I could finally have slept in, I still woke up early. :-) My blood-caffeine level may take a while to normalize. ;-)

Next year, if people want to play again, maybe we can play in May, June, or early July? Those seem the wiser direction to move, to avoid what I'm guessing will be a parallel product launch next year.

Just thinking ahead...

And so we arrive at the very last story in this year's

fkficfest/

fkficfest. It's not a sad farewell, but a funny one!

Today's story offers a humorous series of increasingly questionable choices, when it's Stonetree's precinct's turn to host the annual police raffle...

Tomorrow: the masterlist to close the game.

Believe it or not, this year's

fkficfest/

fkficfest is almost over! Tuesday will bring the last new story. Wednesday will bring the closing ceremonies.

Catching up:

Sunday's story is by greerwatson for one of the prompts I submitted, myself: "The big, red-carpet premiere of the Alix Logan movie that's being filmed in the second-season episode "Amateur Night." (Could be set before, after, or instead of "Black Buddha, Part 1.")"
Monday's story is by melissatreglia for one of the prompts greerwatson submitted: "A cop's life, a cop's ... spouse."

I didn't mean to schedule the 2 Schanke stories one after the other! Oops. I was actually trying to space out our pairing stories, as we had only 3 this in this big gen year.

I was so tired after work last night that I forgot to mention yesterday's

fkficfest/

fkficfest story here! But of course everyone should be following on the DW or LJ communities, or the AO3 itself, or on ForKni-L, all of which I did remember.

So Friday's story, #5 of 9, is short a Nick and Natalie novelty, and today's, #6 of 9, is a longer Nick/Lacroix tale that I haven't yet read.

Please come look for stories that you and people you know might enjoy! Please consider telling your friends and followers about the fest!

Thursday's

fkficfest/

fkficfest story release (4 of 9) is our first 'ship story of the year, and the longest story so far revealed. If a Nick/Lacroix story is your cup of Ribena, check it out! If you know a UFer who hasn't yet tuned in to the fest, turn her on to this!

As a reminder, authors can choose to change the posting date of their stories to the date that they release in the fest to boost them to the top of the AO3's FK list at that time. I don't know for sure that this helps gain pageviews, but I want every FKFicFest writer to get every hit available!
