Good Idea, Even With Bad Timing

Okay, so we're gotten a lot of discussion lately about how much people want and need more female gen. Not even going to the femslash place: female character gen, where we're not focused on the shippiness of it all, focused on the women who we love and adore so much.

So I announce The Female Character Gen Ficathon. I know ficathons are mighty passe, and that suggesting one around the holidays is, um, INSANE?

Which is why the stories would not be due until January 6th, after all the SeSas are due. It's very simple, eh?

Fandom #1 Request:
Character(s) Request:

Absolute No-Nos:

Fandom #2 Request:
Character(s) Request:
Element/Prompt:
Absolute No-Nos:

Any fandom is allowed, but keep in mind if you get really obscure, I'm going to be matching as best I can, and if you're the only person asking for two obscure-as-heck fandoms? There may be problems. RPF is also allowed, but again, this is GEN, not ship. OK? OK.

ETA: Sign-Ups Close December 6th, Requests out December 8/9, stories due Jan 6? Usual ficathon rules apply: 1000-word minimum, don't go blabbing, et cetera. It's been awhile, hasn't it?

ETA2: PLEASE pimp the heck out of this. I'd like to see a big sign-up for this.

Oooh!

But: if you're the only person asking for two obscure-as-heck fandoms?

Yep, that would happen to me.

Well, it's always worth a shot? But I do worry about finding fandoms of one and not knowing how to handle that.

I will hop on the bandwagon and provide fandoms I can write. I kind of just went through the ones listed in the sign-ups so far, but there are probably more I can write, if need be.

Are you just going to be matching based on requests? Should I include in my post different fandoms/characters I'm willing to write for, in addition to the requests?

I'm going to be matching mostly based on requests, but if you want to add in what you can write for, that's good, too.

...see, it's been a long time since I ran anything. A very long time.

Element/Prompt: don't have one
Absolute No-Nos:Okay, let's just not have anything like Lilah realizing she's in love with Buffy or something, Okay? They can even be friends for all I care, just stay in the realm of this could maybe, possibly, actually happen.

Following up. You know most of what I can do -- BtVS, possibly Angel (only have S2 on dvd and not as comfortable with it, but am willing to work with it), BSG, most recent incarnation of Doctor Who, GaTB obviously, Narnia, HP, Grey's, LotR, Firefly, Law and Order (but only original, as I hate SVU with a fire that burns like a thousand suns and know next to nothing about CI), PotC, LotR, LotRPF, X-Files, OC, Arrested Development... probably some others, but those are the ones I'm seeing the most on requests, so that will hopefully help you the most.

Signing up! First, what I can write: Lets make this really, really simple. In an ideal world I would get [info]alixtii's requests and write both of them because Dawn! I love Dawn! And River, River's my favorite.

Presuming that doesn't actually work, I can write Firefly (River's best, all the other women are okay); AtS/BtVS (Dawn -- love Dawn!, Lilah, Darla, Fred, Jasmine especially; I can't write Buffy, at least not in a positive light); new BSG (I like Cylons especially, also Starbuck, but who doesn't like SB?); SGA (Elizabeth! Teyla! Love!); Pitch Black/Chronicles of Riddick (especially Jack/Kyra and Dame Vaako); oh, and La Femme Nikita, but if anyone requests that I'll be dead surprised.

Name/LJ: [info]saeva; Saeva
Contact Email: loupsdeguerre@aol.com

Fandom #1 Request: Stargate: Atlantis
Character(s) Request: Elizabeth, Teyla, Ancient (Oma prefered but she's technically Stargate: SG-1). Any of the female scien -- Lets just say if it's SGA and she's female I'm good. Guest appearances from SG-1 women wouldn't go amiss either. Stargate and female?
Element/Prompt: The history of the Ancients isn't nearly so nice as the check-writers back on Earth would prefer it to be.
Absolute No-Nos: Hmm. Elizabeth is a negotiator, not a diplomat. Difference!

Fandom #2 Request: Chronicles of Riddick
Character(s) Request: Jack/Kyra (that's, uh, one person, not two); Dame Vaako
Element/Prompt: Post-CoR; Riddick follows Kyra to the Underverse.
Absolute No-Nos: Well, no Riddick/Kyra should be obvious, no? No softening Kyra's edges -- she didn't end up in a Triple Slam for shoplifting.

And I shall be pimping this on the [info]sga_noticeboard, so we'll see what happens.
