A Week's Delay...and a Poll

[gehayi.livejournal.com]

I decided to wait until April 9 to start FemGen VI. A great many ficathons are starting, finishing or posting right now, so I thought it best to delay a bit so that we wouldn't be lost in the shuffle. Also, this being a holiday weekend, I know that a number of people will be away with family and friends. So it seemed better, overall, to wait a week.

But we will definitely start next Friday.

And now, a poll:

[Poll #1546819]

Keep in mind that there are only 160 prompts (well, 161, but the odd one out is for me), so when they're gone, they're gone.

Also, every year we get a few people who want to sign up when the prompts are all taken. What would you think about letting these people pick one of the existing prompts?

I've seen a lot of ficathons allowing people to double claim, and I definitely appreciate it. Sometimes, people have a lot going on in their lives and they can't necessarily rush over the day that claims are open. Also, it seems that the goal of this ficathon is to increase the amount of writing about women, and maximizing people's opportunity to participate would help achieve that goal.

This makes sense.

You're right. That does make sense.

Sounds right to me.
