It looks like there's lots of upcoming fun.

FK Fic Fest

A new round of the [community profile] fkficfest / [livejournal.com profile] fkficfest exchange is gearing up.

I participated in this in 2013 and 2015, so I'll probably take this year off to focus on other summer exchanges.

HL Chronicles

In celebration of the 30th anniversary of the release of Highlander, [community profile] hl_chronicles / [livejournal.com profile] hl_chronicles is holding a prompt fest.

I will probably not be participating in this because it's movie centric and I'm a series fan, but the prompts may have a different say in the matter.

My Old Fandom

A brand new exchange! [community profile] myoldfandom is for canons that ended at least 10 years ago. A great number of my favs qualify, so this might be the way to get some action in fandoms that don't get selected in other exchanges. Nominations open March 9th.

Ship Swap

Sign-ups for the final round of [livejournal.com profile] shipswap are open until Feb. 9th. I've done this one for the past four years and received some excellent stories. However, it's become increasingly clear that I would be completely unmatchable this round. As I don't have sufficiently strong enough feelings about anything else in the tag set to modify my requests and offers, I've decided to withdraw. I'll keep my eye on the pinch-hits, though, in case something interesting appears.

Though summer may be taking its sweet time getting to my part of the world, the new round of fests and exchanges is well on its way to being a full season.

Upcoming events include:

  • [livejournal.com profile] ttpsummer - The Tomorrow People may have been unceremoniously canceled (as per usual), but we can at least send it off with some style. This is an open fest. No deadlines, no commitment, and no restrictions. All fanworks welcomed and invited. Sign up to contribute something in the month August.

  • [community profile] fkficfest/[livejournal.com profile] fkficfest - Forever Knight's annual exchange. Sign-ups should be starting today. Fic and art welcome. Crossovers welcome for the first time.

  • [livejournal.com profile] rarepairfest - A multi-fandom rarepair exchange for any pairing with fewer than 250 completed works of 1000 words or more. Fic and art welcome. Nominations open June 1st.

  • [tumblr.com profile] crossovering / [community profile] crossovering - A new crossover exchange! Fic only. Nominations begin May 24th.

  • Obscure and British is a running comment-fest for media that is obscure and British. Leave a prompt. Fill a prompt. All fanworks welcome.

  • [community profile] femmeremix / [tumblr.com profile] femmeremix - A remix exchange for works focused on the female characters in a fandom. The schedule looks like it's up-in-the-air while the mod finishes her spring semester, so hopefully the fest gets off the ground.

    During the temporary lull in fests, it's time for a roundup. Over the past few months, I participated in three fests from which I received three stories and a bonus drabble, and for which I produced three stories.

    April brought [profile] rarewomen. For this fest, [personal profile] brightknightie wrote me a delightful story based on Highlander: the Series and featuring a look at who Michelle, a one-off character, grew up to be in Yet There Are Many.

    June saw the end to [profile] shipswap. From this fest, amathela gifted me with a cute Teen Wolf story featuring Scott/Danny and a little bit of drunken kissing in Positive Tension. Rumor has it that the author is considering writing a sequel, so if this pairing is up your alley, please go give her some encouragement.

    Finally, July brought the reveals for [community profile] fkficfest. For this fest, [profile] gnosticdivia wrote me a chilling story featuring Nick and Natalie on the case of a vampire child in Bless the Child.

    I also got an amazing drabble from [personal profile] amilyn.




    My contributions for these fests were:

    Hardest Road to Travel for [personal profile] crazyfoolstiney, which is a Laura and Derek pre-canon story based on a request for a Laura Hale story and a roadtrip.

    Muscle Memory for musikurt, which is a Danny/Isaac story. No prompt was given. Ironically, this is my first fest gift that won't stop. I've already added 4K since the story went live and I continue to toy with more.

    Never Saw This World Before for [personal profile] pj1228, which is a Nick and LaCroix story based on a request for Nick/LaCroix being forced to live together.

    That makes three fests, three fandoms received in, and two fandoms written for.
