Good Fic Day; First Wednesday of every month

The Challenge: To prepare either a chapter update or a one-shot to be posted on fanfiction.net on the first Wednesday of each month of the year.

The Purpose: To have every story on the front page of ff.net that day be from non-fanbrat authors. Every story or one-shot will have good grammar and spelling and decent characterization.

We're all tired of looking at ff.net and groaning. This is a chance to make the fanbrats go "Huh?" lol.

Our first event on Feb 6th was a runaway success with 25 updated or new stories posted. The next is scheduled for March 5 2008.

Perhaps I'll be able to finish chapter twenty-seven before this ...

If not, I'll see what I can come up with. This is a terrific idea, though. I'd love to be able to see the looks on all the fanbrats' faces when a bunch of goodfic randomly pops up out of nowhere, lol.

Peace,

Awesome idea! Are we all going to post them up at the same time or should we do it in intervals?

May I admire you again today?

Hell yeah, I'm so in. Those little fanbrats will never know what hit them. But would anyone be so kind as to check my one-shot when its done, and tell me what's wrong with it? Cause I totally suck at punctuation.

We'll push 'em right outta our territory! B)

I think any fic that comes from people on this board qualifies as good for "Good Fic Bombing Day" - and beyond!

Now ... I must write something. Lest I look stupid that day.

Eek!! See what happens when you don't come on this board for, like, two months! You miss all the important stuff! Now, I have 4 days, a full schedule, and NOTHING written! This is going to be interesting...

I just started my story yesterday. It only has to be one chapter or one one-shot - unless of course you've got more ready and you want to post it!

I still need it beta'd and then to rewrite what needs rewriting before Wednesday. I am so slow with this and it was my idea lol.

I want to poke Zevie and tell her to write, but then I'd have to run to avoid the stones. *haz not written anything and is therefore a hypocrite* So maybe we can just sit on the sidelines together and cheer everyone on, huh, Zevie? They deserve some cheerleaders -- and there's the added bonus of possibly scaring fanbrats with our cheers.

The only idea I really have for a story that I think it's possible I might run with isn't an Outsiders story; it be Four Brothers, because Laura is a pusher, man, and I'm hooked. So ... yeah. I'ma sit this one out, too.

I'm excited, though, for the wealth of good fic. It'll be the most fic I've read in a while. I'll be attached to my computer for hours. :P

We can do it. It'll be like NaNo training. Crank out 3000 words in two days - you're a goodficcer, so it'll be undoubtedly better than you'll think it is! =P
