hrm.

poked ff100. They don't allow what I'd like to do (Women of Blake's 7. I'd just have to pick one). so, er, screw that. I'll just do it on my own.

It would also be pointless to do it for Sam/Jack since I already wrote 100 Sam/Jack fics.

hrm. work. sigh. We'll see if they keep us an extra hour again.

eta: also. called dentist. Was politely told to fuck off, as I am not a patient there. Again, what are the benefits of non-socialized medicine?

You could choose General Series and then just do all women? But that's probably not the point.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Someone already has general series... sadly.

*blink* You asked and they said no to that? They've got people claiming all sorts of groups.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Nope. I read the rules. Which say a lot of things including something about no specifics other than character or pairing.

[persephone-kore.livejournal.com]

Are there rules somewhere besides the userinfo? Because while you could certainly take "groups" to mean musical groups (I think there are a lot of people asking for those), as far as I can tell it's really pretty loose. They specify character or pairing as examples--I'm guessing that's what they originally assumed people would go for--but looking through the claim table and unprocessed claims, I've seen people asking for (and getting) whole families, specific sets of family members, teams, and so forth. Also, aside from minimum wordcount, limited crossovers, no cowriting (*pout*), and various organizational issues, the community founder claims to want to be as flexible as possible. I'd give it a shot.

They said no? After some of the things they okayed? I was able to pick the Halliwell sisters from the Charmed tv show (yeah, I know), so I don't see why you couldn't choose the women.

{shrugs} Like you said, though, its not like they can stop you from doing the idea anyway.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Nope. Read the rules.

I don't get the whole '100ff' thing. I think they must not have the same definition of fanfic as I do. It would take ten years to do if they did.

[rosewildeirish.livejournal.com]

The fic is asked to be at least 100 words, but I don't think there's an upper limit. And there is no deadline so you COULD take 10 years.

I've only had LJ for a little over a year, and almost all my fic writing's been in SGA...and I've done over 100 fics, I believe, though they're not all in my memories.

Just ignore the fact that many of them are WIP that aren't finished yet.

[nique.livejournal.com]

I had a feeling it was something like that. 100 words is barely a paragraph, let alone a complete story. Which is not to say people aren't allowed to write them and I suppose if you're defining 'fanfiction' as any piece of creative writing based on a pre-existing fandom, then yeah, it's fanfiction, but it is, at the very least, somewhat misleading.

Then again, I started out in a fandom where people almost never posted anything under 500 words (and if they did, they probably made special note of the fact), and as a personal rule, very rarely post anything under 1,000. In my head fanfiction=short story length, at the very least.

It's not something she thinks about often. Of course, she likes to think that she would have

mourned him if he'd been a good man.

But then, Soolin has never been one to regret.

He had filled her bed, but never her heart. Of course, knowing what she knew of him now made

her skin crawl just a little.

She remembers standing in the burnt-out fields of her parents farm, tears in her eyes.

It's the last time she cried.

The air had been filled with acrid smoke
