Ginger Lust

Yes, in honor of getting our act together as well as being discovered by our first non-modly member, I'm posting the 20 prompts for our first-ever Ginger Lust Ficathon.



Again, some basics: These prompts are for claiming between now and the end of September or until there are two claimants per prompt, whichever comes first. The prompts are philosophical in nature on purpose; run with them however you as an author would interpret the prompt. You have until mid-December to write and have your story beta'ed (at least one beta, please; even fabulous writers can polish their work when another set of eyes gets to glance at it) and we'll begin posting on January 1st, 2008, hereby known as the Year of Ron. We're a bit under the radar here, so if you'd like to help us get the word out, please do. Please join the community first, as we need to be sure you're over 18, then reply to this post to claim a post. While there are four of us modding, we are human, but we'll try to let you know as soon as possible that you can have your claim prompt or let you know that it's unavailable. Another reminder, this is for slash and genfic only, no het. Please see the first mod post or the bio for more details.

Have fun! I can't wait to start writing, myself. :)
