fic-related, mainly

So I hear that je_holiday community revealed something or other? XD I was responsible for what is in all likelihood the silliest of the lot, One Thousand and One Tokyo Nights, which is not in fact an Arabian Nights AU but just Yamapi and Jin being Very Silly. XD (Mild Pin, but nothing too alarming.) I had a lot of fun writing it -- as in, I sat down and blew off steam related to another writing project by emptying the recesses of my mind without any regard as to how ridiculous the result was. XD ...it was fun! I also had it easy as it was for 4_03_am and phonestrap so I had a preeetty good idea what would go over all right. ;)

By the way, I'm never sure whether to repost challenge fic here or simply link and leave them be -- show of hands, what do you guys do?

In related news, I'm pretty sure all of je_ficgames is up now? So, if you feel like guessing that. (eta: Polls will be shut down on Sunday, so if you want to cast a vote, do it before then!) No one did manage to get je_holiday before the reveal, and at least one person expressed Surprise at the identity of the author being... me... which pleased me greatly, actually. :) It's nice not to be universally predictable.

People still hanging out here at least partly for fic-related reasons: a redux of that meme in which you tell authors your favorite piece of theirs is going around, and... actually I'm too lazy to link to it again. If you feel so inclined give me a heads up? :D Especially if this answer is something more recent. Just 'cause I'm curious.

Ending with a rec -- this is from Yuletide, but I don't even know if it counts as fanfiction. Theoretically the fandom is (coincidentally, haha) One Thousand and One Nights; in practice it reads as original fiction and wow did it blow me away. It's not so much the prose as, appropriately, the storytelling, but I really recommend it -- One Thousand And One And Counting.

Yep, posting for ficgames is done now. We figure people are starting to get impatient, and bar sending people threatening emails we figure there's not much else we can do. You guys will be getting reveals relatively soonish too :D

I tend to repost everything to the fic comm I share with other people so I don't have the issue of whether to report to my journal etc. But I always wonder if I should link to it in my entries, lol. So many questions!

Excellent! I was wondering about reveals but I didn't want to ask and sound greedy. ;)

Ah, but you do repost at your comm (rather than just putting a fake cut on the comm or something)? I see. And yes, if you have a separate fic comm/journal, there's always that -- on one hand, presumably people who want to read the fic will friend the journal; on the other, sometimes one is pleasantly surprised to find interesting fic after one has friended someone for non-fic related reasons. :)

We've finally made a post. I think it's about time we tell people who wrote who and who won :D

I do, yeah. Exactly! I'm always pleased to discover that people write under other names, especially if I've friended them for other reasons :)
