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 really like getting the random prompts, so I voted for that, but speaking as someone who completely missed the deadline for sign-up last year (and was totally devastated about it, although thankfully I did get to participate anyway), I also think it'd be great to let late people use unused prompts from previous years or pick one of the prompts or whatever.

Thank you for doing this! I'm already getting excited. :)

I think that I might allow each prompt to be claimable twice. The first person who picks a number doesn't know what she's getting; the second one does. If all the prompts are claimed twice before April 16...well, then, I might go with the unused prompts from previous years--if I haven't recycled them already for this year, that is.

Oh! And you're welcome!
