fic recap

Jan 10, 2010 08:10

Ten days into January. Ten days of rh_intercomm. 40+ fics from 15 authors. It is fabulous reading all the RH fic and seeing writers contribute. I wasn't certain how successful the idea of a fic comm challenge would be, but it is going great! But...

( Where is everybody? )

Well we've had the initial burst and now the breather before the next lot (hopefully!) but I have a theory...

I think this time of year is when a lot of people re-assess their fandoms. It's a time of reflection anyway plus you just got a lot of shiny new stuff for Christmas and there's new progams on the TV that may tempt you away to pastures new...

So we may have lost some folks.

I hope not - it's just a theory.

I hope that's not the case, too, but it's hard to say. I've been really surprised by some of the activity so far, and meanwhile I'm cursing my own fic (I managed to churn out a bunch on it one night... and now it's stalled :P). Grr.

I'm trying to think of some way to bring in more people, but I just don't know. Too bad there's no way to advertise on ff.net... is there?

Not that I'm aware of. I suppose if you're commenting on a fic there you could mention it to individual authors.

It will be fascinating to watch fics posted this month and then to see what the rest of 2010 brings.

cursing my own fic
I took me 12 days to get Broken Half to a point I was happy with it and it was the first idea I had for Intercomm. 3x09 just hit me with a number of possibilities - one more yet to come with WYG's favorite guy! yay!

You know, I had a few beginnings of fics that I've tried to work on, and this was an idea where I just had the vaguest concept but couldn't get it anywhere. Then I had an awesome brainstorming session with mylogiceatsyou, and stayed up til nearly one in the morning writing over 2500 words in the first part (I think it's going to end up being three parts). But after that glut, even though I know where it's going now, it just doesn't want to let me write it. *grumbles, glaring at fic*

That's awesome that you've got so many plot bunnies in development!! Can't wait to see what else goes up!

I was thinking that maybe people had been gearing up for January 1 for the shorter fics/first ideas and now are working on longer fics to post sometime in the second half of the month. Not sure.

I unfortunately have spread myself too thin (again) and will not come up with a long fic (unless you count the six-parter as one). I'll be lucky if I can manage a drabble or two before January 31. It's not a lack of committment to the fandom. I jusy got behind with other writing projects and that darned real life because of the holidays.

working on longer fics

We shall watch to see if your theory proves correct. Here's hoping!

I have absolutely no ideas for any long fics and only have a couple of short ones, one being a drabble, in the works right now. I'm not sure if I'll have any more in me. I keep waiting for WYG to send more plot bunnies!!
