It looks like "What if" has a narrow lead in the votes for what kind of theme people would like to do this time, so that's what we're going to do. That said, if you'd prefer to open a fortune cookie (the second choice theme), you certainly may. All you'd need to do is incorporate the fortune into the "What if.." prompt.

For example... I recently had Chinese food and got the following fortune. "You will move to a wonderful new home within the year." Easy enough to reformulate that into a prompt. To wit: "What if Harm and Mac move to a wonderful new home and something goes horribly wrong?"

We're going to use the same format we did for the Christmas ficathon in that anybody can suggest a prompt, and writers will be free to choose from the entire list of ideas for their story.

The schedule for the ficathon will be as follows:

April 9, 2007 - Begin accepting prompt suggestions

April 23, 2007 - Writers can begin requesting prompts. Requests need to be emailed to me. Please try to send a first, second, and third choice request.

May 21, 2007 - Story deadline. All stories should be emailed to me as .doc, .rtf, or .txt file attachments.

May 22, 2007 - First day of the ficathon. Stories will be posted at the rate of one a day until all stories are up.


Remember, we're going for short stories here. You've only got 3 weeks in which to write, and this is supposed to be fun - not a chore. :-)

Any questions? Ask away. :-)
