2010 rules and sign-up form
Here we go!
Signing up for the ficathon means that you agree to turn in one RPF story of at least 750 words, according to the assignment you will receive, by midnight on Sunday, December 19. In exchange, you will receive one story from your list of requests.
Sign-ups open Sunday, 9 October and will close at midnight EST on Wednesday, October 20.
Check the Pretty Lights 2010 schedule for more information on the 'thon dates.
RULES
In order to sign up, you must volunteer to write in at least two fandoms in the below list. After that, you may sign up for any other fandoms you wish, as many as you like, on the list or not. The fandoms must be scripted television shows or films (ie, no reality shows, news/pundit, or commercials), and the requested characters must be the show's/movie's actors (ie, no crew or staff).
Two of your four story requests must be fandoms in the list. They do not have to be in a fandom that you signed up to write. They can be in the same fandom, or different fandoms. Your other requests are free choices, and can be in any actor fandom, whether on the list or not. If you don't want to use your free choices, you don't have to.
Crossover requests, even for fandoms on the lists, count as free choices.

SIGN-UP FORM
Name:
Email address:
LJ and/or website address:
Fandoms you are willing to write:
Name of show or movie first. No acronyms or abbreviations, please! If you're willing to write any cast member, stop here. If not, specify which actors you are willing to write. Again, no nicknames, short forms, initials, etc. We don't know every show or film out there, and we simply can't match you properly if we don't know who you're talking about.
Please note that "any cast member" means any cast member. (So if you offer any, be certain that you are prepared for any combination of actors from the show or movie -- from one of the leads, to some actor who did five episodes back in the first season.)
If an actor has been in more than show/movie, you will need to list them under every show/movie you're willing to write. For example: if you're willing to write Ben Browder with a Stargate SG-1 cast member and Ben Browder with a Farscape cast member then you need to list him twice, once under each fandom. This goes back to making sure that your sign-up form is as clear as possible.
Genres you are willing to write:
Gen, Girlslash, Boyslash, or Het.
Maximum rating you are willing to write:
G to NC-17
I can write fandom crossovers:
