Narnia Fic Exchange 2018

[nfe_gremlin]

Hello all! Just a quick update to say that the NFE will happen this year, we're just a little late getting started.

ALSO! It's the Tenth Anniversary of the Narnia Fic Exchange! Which is exciting (at least to me :D)! I've been trying to think of something fun to mark the occasion, and I am open to suggestions! Honestly, what I'd love is for everyone to convince a friend to join us this year -- make it a big exchange for the big birthday! What do you all think?

Anyway, I'm hoping to have information about tagsets, signups, etc, up by tomorrow evening. In the meantime, please comment here, or email narniaficexchange@gmail.com if you have any questions/comments/ideas.

Thanks to everyone who has asked about this years' exchange -- it makes me happy to know so many of you look forward to it.

Some brainstorming

I love the idea of inviting a friend! But also, what if we did the madness round this year with a twist? It would be outside of the main exchange, so people could choose to participate if they want:

- A round in pairs. You get randomly assigned a partner and you work together on the prompt of your choice.
- A round where the prompts are taken from unanswered prompts of past years.
- A round where we write spin-offs/stories inspired by the stories submitted to the NFE by that person in past years. (A newbie could point to a story they liked by someone else, or a story of theirs that's outside of the collection)
- A round where we respond to prompts AND have to incorporate the number 10 in some way (people can be as creative as they want).

Any of these would make me happy! Would others be interested?

I think doing it with madness is a good idea. I particularly like the last two suggestions, but I’d be open to any of those ideas.

I like all of these! Especially the last two.

Hmmm, maybe a combo of things? People could use all the prompts from the last years (I could probably put together a word doc of prompts from the years before AO3), OR could chose to write a remix/spin-off/inspired by story from stories already posted, AND for all stories they could incorporate the number 10?

I don't want to make it more complicated, but I like giving people options.

What about a 10-sentence challenge, based on this year’s or previous years’ prompts? Sort of like caramelsilver’s 3-sentence ficathons, only all things Narnia?

If that’s too chaotic or too many prompts to be wrangled, what about an official prompt of the day/week, an everyone can post their responses to a collection?
