Fixfest
Happy New Year, everybody! Part like it's the end of the Mayan Calendar! :P
(Or, you know, 1999. Remember all the trouble we had 1/1/2000 with the power being out for months and computers not working and clocks being frozen in time? Oh, wait...)
Anyhow, that's not what the post is about. However, it is a new year - time for new beginnings. Which is why I'm creating something I've coined "Fixfest." I actually came up with the idea several years ago, but it never happened. I think it's time for it to happen.
The premise of Fixfest is this: Take one fanfic you wrote, and fix it up as much as possible. It can be a one shot or a chapter fic. It also doesn't have to be one fic - it can be many. You can do the same thing with an original story. If you'd like me to point out the fic, just send it to me in the comments, a PM, or email if you have my address. The deadline for linking is April 1, 2012. (Because why not?)
I respect everyone's right to write and ship whatever they wish. That being said, I reserve the right not to link to bestiality, sex with minors, and non-con. If this is a problem, I apologize.
It's advisable that when you do post the fic, you link to the original, but if you think that'd be too much blackmail material, or if you don't have it on a website, perhaps post an excerpt or a summary.
ETA: This also applies to old, unfinished WIPs. As long as you actually finish them. :P
