I can't believe I'm doing this.

Okay, who'd be up for a Lost ficathon? I mean, I have no idea how to run one (trust me, I'm so lenient with the rules at ithurtsmybrain, I don't really think it counts), so I'd probably need someone to help me out if I wanted to run one during the six weeks we won't get any new episodes. But I have no idea what to do and I want new Lost fic that doesn't suck, damn it. So, would anybody be game to a.) join in and write and/or b.) help me run the damn thing?

(In other news, I got a chapter of MoM done already today. And it was the sex-scene chapter, too. Yay, me. :))

EDIT: Okay, so maybe I will read the Lost recaps on TWoP, but only if Sobell does them. Now, there's a recap that doesn't read with so much hatred. Hmph. Stupid Daniel.

OTHER EDIT: Oh, I want to see this trailer right the hell now. *squeals*

Well I don't watch lost - but I've run a few ficathons and could offer some advice.

Look at the info pages for charmedflashfic, joaflashfic and crossficathon for a basic idea of how they work.

I would guess that for a show with a cast as big as Lost, you'd need to have people include what pairings they can write.

Whoa! When did AICN suddenly get a readable layout?

Just a week or so ago, I think. Crazy, isnt it? Suddenly it doesn't look like it was formatted by a glue-sniffing fifth grader.

my only question with the Lost ficathon (which i would be more than happy to write in, and might be able to help if you need it), is, how exactly are you going to ensure you only get GOOD fic?

screening authors? must have at least 2 stories that dont suck according to ______?

id love to play, but that is a concern.

You could do a peer review sort of thing...

I was at WonderCon and the trailer was AWESOME. The best trailer I have ever seen for a movie.

ithurtsmybrain? I *have* to join that, no matter what it's about *g*

Heh, looks fun :)

I had to throw this at you because I know you like really screwed up things like this: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/ap/20050221/ap_on_re_as/pakistan_adultery --- 2 year old betrothed to 47 year old guy.

Lizard Rat out.

What the heck is a Lost ficathon? What would it entail?

If people don't mind severe continuity mistakes, I'd be up for being browbeaten into writing Lost fic.

But no slash.

sobell! <3! even when i wasn't watching CSI, i read her recaps. if she's writing about Lost now . . . *rushes over to TWoP*

I'm so glad the other Dan is gone. Kwa was nice, I hated the next guy. Sobell is fantastically awesome. She's my favorite TWoPer, and then Deborah's my next favorite.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Daniel was an asshole about the show. My favorite TWoPer is Miss Alli, with whoever writes the 7th Heaven recaps as a close second. (Hate the show, LOVE the recaps.)

<< Kate finally kicks him in the knee, and Sawyer goes down, releasing the poor piglet, which scampers off to write in the mud, "Dear Mr. Sawyer, when I grow up, I will gore your ass without blinking twice..." >>

*rolls* OK, that one totally shoulda been in Cleo's recaps, dammit. XD

I haven't written fanfic in years, and at this point, I'm still behind on the show (damn Australia), so I probably can't put my hand up for anything. But I'll be watching with interest while everyone -else- does all the work. Totally. ^_^;
