LadySilver's Fanfic

The second batch of exchanges this year got off to a really rough start. Unlike normal, I got started right away, and was making great progress. Then my computer went up in a puff of smoke and all the data went, irrecoverably, with it. Not only did I lose everything for the three extant fests/exchanges I was signed up for, I also lost everything I'd been working on for the previous eight months, including several fandom_stocking fills and partial chapters for each of my two WIPs. What really irks me is that the day before the crash, I'd commented on the need to back everything up--and I thought I had done so. Only afterward did I realize that the backup hadn't worked. I still haven't figured out what went wrong. In the end, I was left scrambling to recreate my work while also finishing a household move that started two years ago, unpacking on the other end, interviewing for and starting a new job, and trying to break in a new computer. Fortunately, deadlines in the two exchanges both got pushed back.

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:

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.

fkficfest/fkficfest - Forever Knight's annual exchange. Sign-ups should be starting today. Fic and art welcome. Crossovers welcome for the first time.

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.

crossovering / 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.

femmeremix / 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.
