Fleet prompt fest and other links

[sophinisba]

Wow, finishing and posting an old fic that I'd considered abandoned, what a nice feeling! I ought to do that more often. I was saying so to claudia603 last night and she reminded me of the Frodo/Aragorn AU I started writing when I was visiting her in January of 2007. I got out the file and there's it's 11,000 words, a good chunk of which are porn! The thing is, she got me to write it by saying, Forget about posting, what's the thing you most want to read? And I think I've gotten a lot better about posting without fear since then, but that fic is no longer what I want to read, let alone revise and write and post. Still, 11,000 words!

In other news, glass_icarus just the prompts post for a new free-for-all fanworks fest over at camelot_fleet. You should go check it out, leave some prompts and think about whether you want to make something. This fest was sort of my idea and I'm helping run it, so I would really like to see lots of people join in. I've always loved the atmosphere of camelot_fleet parties and of Merlin fandom in general, but I'm not much good at finishing a fic in one day (heck, my last fic took me two years lol), which is sort of what you need to do in order to have anyone see it at a party or a lot of other commentfic meme type things. So the idea is here is, throw out lots of prompts and go crazy, but take a few weeks to finish. (If you need - if you want to write a fic in an hour, fantastic, but hold off on posting for a week to give us slowpokes time to catch up!) Here, have a banner:
