Shall we play a 7^th annual Forever Knight ficathon game this year? If so, when and how? And might you play with us?

The pre-game poll (on DW | on LJ) is open until 6:00 PM Pacific Time on Monday, February 29, 2016.

How is it done?

How is the game played? :-) Here are the step-by-step instructions from 2015 (http://fkficfest.livejournal.com/56968.html)!

They're a bit long. So, a summary:

If 9 or more people sign up to play:
The game will be a standard story exchange, like most ficathons on LJ and DW. Players submit a form with reading requests and writing preferences, and I match them (secretly). Each player writes a story to fulfill another's player's story request. Everyone then shares all the stories written, posting them to the AO3 by a set deadline and then watching them be revealed one by one so that everyone has time to read and comment. (This is how we've played in all FKFicFest games so far.)

If 8 or fewer people sign up to play:
The game will fall back to a challenge style game, as we used to play on FKFic-L. In that case, all players will write to fulfill one shared, broadly-styled prompt, using the perspectives and characters that appeal to the writer, without a specific reader's request slate. I'll announce the default challenge prompt with the sign-up form. (This is a contingency only, in case we have too few players to support matching.)
