The one that just started on pilots-presents lays out its rules here: http://pilots-presents.livejournal.com/27515.html
(though I don't think the one here is an exchange in the same way)

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

It can take a few different forms. This one would just be prompting and then posting fic for a set number of days, not an exchange like pilots presents. More similar to the Applecart's format or the old BSG pornbattles.

We have had three previous ficathons- 2 on Kara, one on all the ladies. Check our tags to see them ... Or they might even still be linked in the sidebar (in the car-can't check at moment/sorry!)

[rose-griffes.livejournal.com]

I'm selfishly picking February because we usually start the BSG remix then, and post in April... so I'd want this done before then. :)

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

Ah good to know remix is running again!

[kdbleu.livejournal.com]

I can probably write something March or after, but I'm hesitant to commit to anything.

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

Lol, you will have some other obligations then, won't ya? ;)

[kdbleu.livejournal.com]

February is just going to be a little busy or busy with a little. ;) But I have an idea for something. Maybe I'll write it now and save it. :D

[scifishipper.livejournal.com]

February would be tough because the Pilots_Presents fics are due mid-month. Maybe sign-ups then? Due before the Remix? Given rose_griffes's comment, I wouldn't want to miss the remix but I'm not sure I could commit to two fics. IDK.

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

Not that we wouldn't welcome long fic, of course, but it would be more of a comment fic kind of thing I was thinking. Like applecart or the BSG pornbattles were.

[scifishipper.livejournal.com]

Oh! That would certainly make it easier. I didn't realize that's what you meant. Cool.

[kag523.livejournal.com]

I just need to mention that I'll only write if it isn't required to be 'gen'. I just don't have enough interest otherwise.

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

That's fine, bb. Different strokes, etc. There's already a lot of outlets for shippy fic, too.

[embolalia.livejournal.com]

"All the ladies" wouldn't preclude people from writing only Kara-centric if they wanted to, would it?

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

Nope! Kara is def included in all the ladies ;)

I am leaving random gifs now

[kag523.livejournal.com]

Why? Because I want people to vote non-gen. :P

I have no gif of the Leoben kiss. *shrugs* BUT I STILL WANT TO WRITE NON-GEN FIC!

Re: I am leaving random gifs now

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

I should probably explain that the reason this comm is non-gen is because there are already so many ship comms and I think there's not much focus on how awesome Kara is just in and of herself. Her achievements, her personal strength, her ties with the rest of the folks on Galactica -- there's not a lot of attention paid to those. I wanted a place where Kara would always come first basically. (Same goes for the other ladies, even more so, except maybe Laura, who has some comms devoted to her I know.)

That being said - not totally opposed to a shippy ficathon if that wins the vote. ;)

Re: I am leaving random gifs now

[kag523.livejournal.com]

Feel free to delete the gif spam, if it's not appropriate for your gen comm. I was simply trying to sway votes. :)

Re: I am leaving random gifs now

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

is fine here since we're talking ships anyway!

[mserrada.livejournal.com]

I just want to write & read Kara. Never can get enough of her as the focus. So I vote...Kara-centric!
(I'm a bit confused about the term 'gen' as it relates to Kara-gen & Non-gen?)

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

See my comments above but basically gen fic means primary focus is Kara (or another lady) and not a romAntic pairing. (there can be moments of shippiness in the fic but the greater theme/focus needs to be on Kara herself). It should focus on her triumphs and achievements, her setbacks or failures, her family ties or friendships. She could show off her prowess as top gun, go on a quest, make an unlikely bond with someone, or learn something about herself. You could show us Kara's first week on Galactica, her experience stepping in as flight instructor on Pegasus, what happened to her when she died or poofed, a past or future life for her, kara through the eyes of one of her nuggets, etc. Yes, Kara-centric crossovers or AUs are just fine. :)

[mserrada.livejournal.com]

Would AU/Crossovers be allowed, as long as Kara is Kara from BSG universe?

[deborah-judge.livejournal.com]

I voted for 'all the ladies' but I'd participate in a Kara gen ficathon as well. I like the idea of it being gen-focused, for all the reasons you say.

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

Yay!
