Cam Mitchell ficathon?
So, because I have the will-power of a weak willed newt, I've sort of agreed to run a Cam Mitchell ficathon (blame
kazbaby, she suggested it). The idea being that, having come late to SG1, there's a lack of 'trope' fic for Mitchell (aliens make them do it, slavery, amnesia, gender swap, mpreg etc), and that this is a terrible travesty which must be rectified.
Which, you know, it's not like we need *less* fic about the guy.
So, my questions are:
-Dreamwidth, livejournal, or both?
-Got any more suggestions for tropes, other than this list
-Would you prefer it to be an exchange, where people list pairings and tropes and I match you, or a prompt-based thing, where people pick their trope and then write whatever pairing/gen appeals to them?
I'm thinking sign-ups would open end of next week for about a week, and the deadline would be end of September, maybe?
Thoughts? Suggestions? Enthusiastic declarations of intent to write epic Cam Mitchell wing fic (you know you want to! If only so I don't end up doing it)

I would suggest a prompt-based thingy, just because there's less pressure that way.
Perhaps for the SECOND Annual Cam Mitchell-a-thon... but I digress. :-D
Maybe on DW with lots of pimping on LJ?

Scary.
(I actually wrote jammies!commentfic. I put Jack in them, just to be different.)

Is it possible to set up a comm for anonymous posting (as opposed to commenting)?
Is Paul Davis ever going to get a promotion?

General consensus seems to be there are more people who are on lj but not dw than vice versa, so maybe posting needs to be there with mirroring on dw. Or people can post their fic to either, and have an identical masterlist on both. But that seems kind of unecessarily complicated
no subject
And also because the thought of trying to match people kind of fills me with dread :o)
no subject
I'm rather fond of prompt-based ficathons along the lines of
Are you thinking of soliciting prompts (scenarios, etc.) to be combined with the tropes, or just giving writers a trope (and possibly a pairing) and setting them loose?
I have no preference on the Dreamwidth vs. LiveJournal question.
no subject
If it's prompt based rather than an exchange, I'm thinking they'll sign up for a particular trope of their choice and then they can write whatever pairing/scenario they like, as long as the pairing has Cam in it. If it's an exchange, it'll have to be more detailed, people would need to at least offer pairings/characters they'd like to see/write about, or people would end up with a trope they liked and a pairing they hated. Which makes me think prompt based, cos that just souds so much easier!
no subject
no subject
No, I don't either. Maybe I can wait until happy fest put their's up and steal their idea, if they have prompt claiming. Though, I mean, people can comment anonymously at either site, so there could be one claims post, and people claim and give their dw and/or lj name in their claim. Which might be the solution.
no subject
But yeah, if you want to limit it to one person per trope, then having just one claims post probably makes sense. People can comment anonymously, as you said, or with OpenID.
no subject
I also vote for listing all of the tropes and letting people claim them.
I'll shift items from the comments up to the main post so they're easy to check out once I get done with dinner and family stuff.
Oh, and Yay!Cam Ficathon!
(list has now been updated in main post.)

There've been a flock of fics and commentfics featuring Jack and Victor (aka Daniel's twisted look-alike.)

The deadline is going to be a problem for me, because I'm participating in SGA Bigbang which has a deadline for end of September, too. I don't know how many people will be affected by this.
Then again, my SGA Bigbang story is John/Cam so, even if I can't make it to this ficathon due to conflicting deadlines, I'll still be contributing something to the awesomeness that is Cameron Mitchell.
no subject
Yay for contributing to the awesomeness that is Cam Mitchell!
no subject
It's going so much better now that I stopped fighting him. Damn, but he can whine and then there's the puppy eyed earnest look. I never stood a chance.
no subject
Yeah, okay, that's a problem, since I think two of the other three John/Cam big bang people have said they might sign up. Maybe it needs to be pushed back to late October.
no subject
ETA: Or what femgenficathon does is have a posting period, a start and end date for submitting fic.
