FK Fic Fest is a ficathon for Forever Knight-based fan fiction. It has been run annually since 2010. For the first two years, its moderators were brightknightie and amilyn. Since then, the former has been sole moderator.

The community debuted on LiveJournal on 11 October 2009 with the expressed intention of holding a fan fiction ficathon in the spring of 2010, with the stories to be made available starting in the week of 18 May 2010. This date was selected as the fourteenth anniversary of the first airing of the series finale, "Last Knight".

In 2011, in advance of a second ficathon, FK Fic Fest became jointly a Dreamwidth and LiveJournal community, with admin posts made on both sites. An archive for FK Fic Fest stories was also created within Archive of Our Own (AO3). Starting in 2012, stories were uploaded directly to the archive, with only admin posts and story announcements being posted to LiveJournal and Dreamwidth. After 2017, crossposting ceased; and the ficathon has since been run solely on Dreamwidth.

In 2012, the ficathon was expanded to allow participants to create visual works of art in fulfilment of their prompt. In the event, everyone that year wrote fiction. However, a picture was created in 2013 by one of the players.

In 2014, for the first time, crossovers were allowed, provided more than half the content was FK related.

In 2019, FK Fic Fest was run challenge-style, with the prompt "ten years" in honour of its tenth anniversary.

Icons

As FK Fic Fest is run on LiveJournal and Dreamwidth, where userpics are normally employed by members for visual identification, a set of such icons was created by brightknightie for use by the moderators. She also created the ficathon's logo, and the header for the community's site.

15792297a

Used by brightknightie as sole moderator (from 2012).

Rules

The rules have been slightly modified each year.

2010

Sign-ups were open from 18 February 2010 to 18 March 2010. Each player submitted three prompts, one in each of the following categories:

  • Gen: a "gen" story is primarily about anything except romantic and/or sexual relationships or activities.
  • Pairing: a "pairing" story is primarily about romantic and/or sexual relationships or activities.
  • Wildcard: a "wildcard" prompt may be anything you like.

The prompts were then sorted and assigned by the moderators; and each player received their assigned prompts on or around 21 March 2010.

Each player agreed to write at least one story to the prompts received (though ultimately some submitted more than one). The minimum length for the story was 1000 words. All stories were to be beta-read.

2011

Sign-ups were open from 20 April 2011 to 20 May 2011. As in the previous year, each player submitted three prompts in the same three categories, and received three prompts submitted by one of the other players to which they wrote (at least) one story. The minimum length for the story was 1000 words, and it had to be short enough to fit on no more than five (5) LiveJournal posts. The institution of an upper limit on the length of the story reflects the maximum number of permitted posts in the LJ queue, and resulted from the nuisance caused by a novel-length story the previous year.

2012

Sign-ups were open from 5 May to 25 May 2012. As in previous years, each player submitted three prompts in the same three categories, and received three prompts submitted by one of the other players. However, for the first time, they had the option of responding either by writing (at least) one story to one of the prompts, or by creating a piece of visual art. As part of signing up, all players stated whether they wished to play as a writer or as a visual artist, and whether they preferred to receive a story or a picture. Stories had to be at least 1000 words long. Pictures had to be at least 500px x 500px in size and "created from scratch", i.e. by hand or "by mouse", but not a photo-manipulation.[1]

Stories were uploaded directly to the FK Fic Fest archive at AO3. As a result, there was no longer a maximum size limit for stories.

2013

Sign-ups were open from 7 April 2013 to 17 May 2013, with the same rules as in the previous year.

2014

Sign-ups were officially open from 21 May 2014 to 7 June 2013, with an extension through into the following day.

As an experiment, (1) multiple related small stories could be written, provided they added up to the 1,000 word minimum; and (2) with certain requirements, crossovers were permitted. Players submitted 3 or 4 prompts, with the fourth optional prompt being a crossover. For any player choosing to write the crossover prompt, more than half the story had to be Forever Knight. Up to three potential crossover fandoms could be listed.

In other respects, the rules remained unchanged.

2015

Sign-ups were officially open from 25 May 2015 to 14-15 June. A contingency challenge prompt was announced in case fewer than nine (9) people signed up. (Those who signed up for the exchange could choose to drop out without penalty! Those who didn't sign up for the exchange could choose to join in the challenge.) In the event, there was a quorum sufficient for a gift exchange.

2016

Sign-ups were officially open from 18 May 2016 to 25 June. As in the previous year, there was a contingency challenge prompt; but, again, sufficient players signed up for FK Fic Fest to proceed as a gift exchange.

2017

Sign-ups were officially open from 11 March 2017 to 24 March. There was no contingency challenge prompt.

2018

Sign-ups were officially open from 2 April to 20 April. The community officially moved from LiveJournal to Dreamwidth, with no further crossposts.

Players could submit up to 5 prompts, four of which followed the previous rules. The fifth (optional) prompt was another wildcard, which could be gen, pairing, or crossover.

2019

In honour of the tenth anniversary, FK Fic Fest was run challenge-style. A poll was posted on 3 May 2019 to discuss details, among which was the question whether a common prompt should be used, with "ten years" (or "ten" + "years") being suggested by the mod. The consensus was favourable.

The official announcement was made on 5 May. As it was a challenge, there were no sign-ups and no assignments. However, there was a deadline: 14 July, with reveals of one story per day starting on 15 July.

2020

Because of the small number of probable players, FK Fic Fest was again run challenge-style, but with three prompts. As well, to try to attract more writers, the minimum length was reduced to 500 words.

On 12 January, a poll was run to find out (a) how many people planned to take part, (b) when the 2020 game should be played, and (c) the type of fest preferred. Of the respondents, about half recommended reducing the minimum length, and about half liked the idea of playing challenge style again. Respondents also showed a clear preference for three prompts. On the basis of the results, the mod decided to play challenge-style with three prompts, a 500-word minimum, and a due date on Sunday, April 19 (the weekend after Easter and Passover).

The nomination period for prompts began on 26 January and ran for two weeks. Prompts were to be no more than ten words in length (not counting citations appended to prompts that were quotations). A total of 22 prompts were submitted.

On 8 February, the first round of voting started, with people being permitted to choose any two of the nominated prompts. Those that received no votes were then eliminated, leaving 16 prompts for the final ballot. Voting in the second round began on 11 February, with participants allowed to pick a first, second, and third choice. The mod then weighted the results: 5 points for a first-place vote, 3 for a second-place one, and 1 for third-place. A total of 13 community members took part in the final ballot.

The three prompts chosen for the 2020 FK Fic Fest were "cold case", "do over", and "when the price of your heart's desire is your heart" (this last being a paraphrase of a quotation from Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan novel, Memory.

All stories submitted to the 2020 FK Fic Fest collection on AO3 were required to incorporate at least one of the prompts.

FK Fic Fest 2010

After making the matches, the moderators sent out prompts to the recipients in the evening of 20 March 2010.

Players

The following 21 people initially signed up to play:

abby82, amilyn, ankhsenet, brightknightie, celli, foxy11814, gnosticdiva, greerwatson, havocthecat, hearts_blood, leela_cat, lisamcdavid, malinaldarose, merfilly, natmerc, nikfix1228, pj1228, skieswideopen, twilight2000, waltd, and wiliqueen.

One person dropped out without penalty before the deadline to default in good grace (18 April 2010).

Receipt of Stories

By the rules, all stories had to be posted to the community by 16 May 2010, where they were kept in queue until released by the moderators. In fact, one person received an extension because of serious illness, and permission was granted to the author of an nine-post novel to finish posting remaining installments after the deadline.

Pinch hit assignments were made at that time.

Release of Stories

As a general rule, two stories were released each day (except very large stories at one per day) in the order in which they were submitted. However, multiple separate stories by any single player were spaced out; and shorter stories were shifted around very large ones to keep the two-a-day pattern.

FK Fic Fest 2012

After making the matches, the moderator sent out prompts to the recipients on 27 May 2012. However, it then turned out that LiveJournal had failed to post one of the sign-ups. A week's extension was made in the successful hope of eliciting another person so that there could be a match for the additional player. All stories were submitted on time, so no pinch-hitters were needed.

Players

The following 13 people signed up to play:

amilyn, brightknightie, deire, foxy11814, gnosticdiva, greerwatson, hearts_blood, malinaldarose, natmerc, pj1228, sure_i_am (mayhavefakedit), twilight2000, and waltd.

Release of Stories

Short stories were released two a day, organized so that readers would get stories of different types summing to more or less 6K words. The three novelettes (over 10K words) were released over the weekend.

Assignments were sent out on 9 June 2014, with stories due on 9 August 2014. Although not all were completed by the deadline, the others were promised and delivered shortly thereafter; so no pinch-hits were required. Stories were released at a rate of one per day, starting on 11 August 2014.

Although, as in the previous year, visual art was permitted, no one actually did any. However, one person did write a crossover story.

FK Fic Fest 2019

For the first time, FK Fic Fest was run challenge-style, with all players writing to the same prompt. In honour of the tenth anniversary, this was "ten years" (or "ten" + "years"). Because of the change of format, there were no sign-ups, and players were not assigned to recipients. The prompt was officially posted to the DW community on 5 May 2019. Seven stories were written by six participants. They were released at a rate of one per day, starting on 15 July 2019.

The following people wrote stories:
