Okay. I give in.


*** The Comic Covers Ficathon (now with less comics) ***





The idea:
1) Choose a Jo Chen cover from season 8.
2) Write a fic that has nothing to do with the plot of season 8, for which the cover would still make sense.

Jo Chen's covers can be found here. (And here - thanks Emmie.)


The rules:
1) Claim a cover, in the comments to this post. ALL Buffyverse covers by Jo Chen are allowable, including the TPB covers.
2) Only one person can claim each cover.
3) Your fic should be at least 500 words.
4) It really shouldn't be about season 8. At all.
5) Post it in the last week of September (26th - 30th).

I'll look through my comics tomorrow and try to pic a cover that no one else has.

Ha ha ha! I adore you and expect that you'll do fine.

Also, I love the idea for this ficathon.

Are we including TPB? Because the Retreat TPB has a story just begging me to be written . . .

Also, can we cross post this at [profile] comicsnarkathon? This is the kind of creative project bound to be lots of fun, and if you need a place to host it, we could do it there? Totally not offended if you decide against it, btw.

TPB are totally welcome! Do you want me to put you down for that one?


Feel free to link - but to stop double-claims, can you direct them over here?

I'll take the Retreat TPB, please, and as this will be linked on all the major daily linklists, you probably don't need it linked on snarkathon for promotional purposes (and I'm just too damn busy to do much promotion for you there),but I'm totally gonna participate!! Yay!

Oooooh! I'd like to lay claim to Chen's cover of Buffy for #37 | Last Gleaming Part II.

Here's another gallery of Chen's covers with only Season 8. All the covers on the far left are Chen's except for the Wolves at the Gate arc.

And I'm just now realizing that the cover for The Chain fits my story Mirror Mask< perfectly. Cool.

So many choices. I think I've already written #24. Several times...

Oh, 7. Or 9. Begging for G/F and incredibly tempting.

No, I'm going to go for #19. But still probably Rulesverse. (And I haven't totally given up on 9, either).

I'll take Issue #2 The Long Way Home Part Two

I'll have a go at #24 if no one else has claimed it yet.

Sounds absolutely brilliant, but I am attempting to resist ficathons for a bit. I'm sure Seasonal Spuffy will sneak up on me though.

deird1: Fred looking pretty and thoughful (Default)
From: [personal profile] deird1
Pity. Good luck with the ficathon-resisting! I always end up giving in and signing up for them anyway...

From: [identity profile] maryperk73703.livejournal.com
I know. But all I've concentrated on this year has been ficathon fics, thusly adding to my WIP count, and not finishing any of the WIPs that I had planned.

From: [identity profile] beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com
Hmmm, I wouldn't mind taking a crack at #3. (#9 wouldn't hurt either, but that's taken I guess.)

You're down for #3!

Question: could I change it for #6? Very late, I know, but the one I was writing for you DW prompt took a bit of a detour...

So it could be a future fic as long as its not comic canon?

I think I've decided that I have enough going on without committing to a ficathon. Signing up was a very spur-of-the-moment thing, and now I've had time to think better of it.

Alas.

This should be fun! I don't think I can write another story -too many WIPs to finish. But I'm your faithful reader, I can't wait to check the stories out. Especially the second cover of The Long Way Home I expect a kick ass Buffy/Xander fic. Sigh.

I realize that the last week of September happens, you know, in two days? But I finally got around to friending you yesterday/today (haven't slept yet) and then have been multitasking up the wazoo and trying to work my way through your journal cause you're awesome? And I found this, and decided what the hell, it would be fun to look through the covers and think of the KIND of stories I would write if I were going to do that.

And then got hit by a plot bunny because the cover of Twilight 4: Issue 35 fits perfectly.

So... Can I sign up now? Because apparently I'm masochistic like that?

Oh, good, because I started about two minutes ago. It'll probably go through massive editing since, hey, 4:30 in the morning for me, but the hardest part for me is taking the time to actually WRITE things.

Date: 2010-09-29 07:55 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] eilowyn.livejournal.com
Okay, me again . . . I'll do #25 - Living Doll this time, and hopefully finish it by next Monday night? It'll be a week late, but at least I'll get it done, and hopefully I'll have my new computer by then.
