Ficathon stuff

[estepheia]

All 62 Friendship Ficathon assignments have been sent out. If you haven't received yours yet, please send me an email or comment in this thread and I will try to send it again. But please check your junk mail filters before you holler, ok?

Ficathon statistics:

I counted which character was requested how often. Please note that some people requested more than two characters.

Qty - Characters
1 - Anne, Connor, Dru, Ethan, Groo, Halfrek, Harmony, Jenny Calendar, Jesse, Joyce, Justine, Kate, Lindsey, Robin Wood
2 - Doyle
3 - Andrew, Clem, Darla, Lilah
5 - Gwen, Illyria, Lorne
6 - Oz
7 - Fred
8 - Anya
9 - Angel
11 - Giles, Tara
13 - Willow
14 - Cordelia
15 - Dawn, Faith, Gunn
16 - Wesley
19 - Xander
21 - Buffy
39 - Spike

Most hated characters were Riley (5), Andrew (3), Kennedy (2) and B/A (3)
Characters that many people did not want to write: Andrew, Lorne, Cordelia, and Riley.

It's 3 am, time to go to bed. But I'm very pleased that I managed to get the main organisational work load done today. I hope people are happy with their assignment.

May the muse be with you!

Thank you for getting this all organized! I am excited to write this fic. :)

Sounds as though you're gonna have a LOT of Spike stories. I approve! I'm not really a shipper--I just like stories about Spike. I look forward to reading the output and congratulations to you for getting it started, organized, and rolling. (Deleted/reposted to get rid of unsightly typo.)

Yeah, I'm hoping for a lot of Spike stories too. I noticed that most participants listed Spike either twice or not at all.

And many requests were 'girls only' or 'guys only'. I wonder why. Does that mean that guys and girls can't be friends? Is this a Harry & Sally phenomenon?

Anyway, some of the reqests were really fascinating (even those without Spike), so we have many interesting stories to look forward to. :-)

I'm so excited! Thank you for doing this. Now I've gotta get the brain wheels spinning!

Hee, I'm glad you're all abuzz. :-)

O_o... I did the same thing with the signups for this ficathon a few days ago (before all the requests were in). Whee?

PS: quite pleased with my assignment. Thanks. :)

Yay, I'm glad to hear it. I really tried very hard to create good matches.

I don't know how it will turn out, but I'm very pleased with my assignment.

*bemoans the lack of Ethan love* At least there's an Ethan ficathon ongoing.

And I love my two assignments (and I'm looking forward to getting two stories *g*)

I thought you'd like to know that the fic for one of them is already with a beta-reader. *feels smug*

Wow! I wish I could write that fast. Although, admittedly, a moment of friendship is easier to do than a romantic relationship.

Yeah, I still have to write for the Ethan ficathon. *wibble*

I'm glad you like your assignments. I tried very hard to find the golden middle between making the authors happy with the story AND challenging them a little.
