Things! (Mostly Doctor Who-ish Things)

1. dw_guestfest is now over! You can find the Masterlist here. (Please do check out the fic if you haven't already - it really has been brilliant all round!)

Given that I decided to count it as a success if I had even half a dozen people sign up, with say even 3 or 4 fics, I'm thrilled that we wound up with 18 fics featuring 20 minor characters (some of whom don't seem to have ever been written for before), I really am. We only lost one or two people to rl along the way, and the comm's on amnesty now for anyone who still wants to post anything or pick up any of the other prompts.

All being well, I should run it again next year, though hopefully now it's all set up from this time, a little earlier and with slightly more lead-in time. But yay! (Sorry. I always assume things I run will be a disaster and have low expectations, which then means I get very excited if they go well.)


2. calufrax is out of reccers again! If you can come up with 4-10 favourite fics from A Teaspoon and an Open Mind that haven't been recced before, then I recommend it - it's a lot of fun to do. (I know most people round here already know and have recced recently, but still. Making the announcement anyway!)



3. I'm sure there was something else. There always is...

Shall go and check out the list. I don't tend to read much Who fic of late, but I will go and look at the delights therein.

[thisbluespirit]

Aww. ♥ There was a Kate Stewart fic, and a new one from JJ, among other things, so you should find something, I think!

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

Yes I saw those. Well, I'd seen JJ's fic already, of course...

[scripsi.livejournal.com]

I'd say it was a great success! And next time I'm sure there will be more participants!

I've been thinking of trying for calufrax but I realised that I probably can't come up with many fics that haven't already been recced. :/

[thisbluespirit]

Thank you!! And, indeed, for taking part and being so enthusiastic. ♥

If you're interested in calufrax, you might find it's easier than you think - it really is surprising what hasn't been recced before, sometimes. I know I sometimes check the comm about five times in disbelief! And the minimum is only four... (And, yes, sorry, I know. Things aren't always do-able.)

Well, four may be doable. :) I'll think about it.

I do like a masterlist! Thanks for running it and I'm sure it will grow next year:)

[thisbluespirit]

Thanks for taking part! :-)

Thank you so much for running the ficathon! I haven't read some of the stories yet, but what I have have been wonderful! Personally, I think you should do this twice a year - the more stories about these brilliant characters, the better!

[thisbluespirit]

Aw, thank you! And while twice a year is tempting, I have some other things I think I might like to do - but it should be a bit less than a year till next time, if that helps. :-)

Congratulations! Always good to hear of these things going well. Must be nearly time for Obscure & British again, too. You're becoming a professional at these things!

[thisbluespirit]

Thank you! It's been fun. Ana, aha, yes, it really is. I'll have to start getting things ready for it. I hope it's still reasonably popular this time! :-)

(Also I hope Liadtbunny doesn't vanish during it again! I wouldn't like to have it be some sort of jinx.)

Och!! Will have to pimp that!

Thank you for running this! I'm excited to read the harvest of new fic.

[thisbluespirit]

Thanks for taking part! (And I adored your fic! ♥)

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

Yesss, ficathon! I'm happy to hear that it went well :D

[thisbluespirit]

Thank you! I'm still pretty pleased about it myself. :-)
