The Invisible Ficathon is Back!

Some found [livejournal.com profile] mcu_aufest to be their "fun" fest last year. For me it was this one, and so far, only the MCU Ladies Ficathon [livejournal.com profile] tielan ran was as fun this year.

From the announcement:


jadelennox and I are running the exchange again this year--with a bit of a twist. We're going to run two similar exchanges on two year cycle: Invisible Ficathon (classic edition!) and Lost Library, which is going to run this year.

The difference? Lost Library is much narrower in scope: it focuses on writing excerpts from canon's mentioned works--e.g. writing parts of the Hitchhiker's Guide itself. Writing excerpts of works that could theoretically exist in the canon are also allowed (eg Invisible Ficathon is broader: imaginary canons like Ghost Soup are allowed, fic about the excerpts instead of the excerpts themselves.

This year's schedule:

Nominations open: Sunday May 24
Nominations close: Sunday May 31, 11:59 EDT
Assignments are out: Thursday June 4, approximately
Stories are due: Sunday June 28, 11:59 EDT
Stories revealed: Saturday July 4
Authors revealed: Saturday July 11

Stories should be at least 500 words. Everyone is encouraged to write treats (extra fic apart from your assignment, to anyone in the exchange)--the more, the merrier!

The exchange will be run on AO3--the collection this year is http://archiveofourown.org/collections/lostlibrary2015.
