fkficfest is currently in the writing phase.

We've elected 5 prompts as a common pool. Each story must use at least 1 of:
- found among the second-hand books
- I'm going to tell you something that you don't want to hear.
- keeping secrets
- The antique hairbrush still held tangles of fine golden hair.
- a lucky break, a chance meeting, and a friend in need

If you want to play, check out the Gameplay Post.

How is everyone doing?

I picked a prompt and have a vague idea of where it might be going.

Unfortunately, I find myself in the dilemma of too much going on at the moment. A mix of family birthdays, soccer games and culture events keeps me busy on weekends, which leaves only weeknights for writing. Since all this is happening in my home town and not in the town where I live, I'm currently heading back and fourth each week. However, I've discovered that taking the train instead of the car is a wonderful way to create a time window for writing. Thanks to the reliability of Deutsche Bahn, one can be certain that the trip takes longer than originally scheduled. Like last Monday, we stopped in the middle of nowhere for one hour because there were people on the tracks ahead. Great opportunity to start my story. I managed to write almost 500 words.

fkficfest is currently in the writing phase. I've finished a draft, but I'm not yet completely happy with it. Anyone out there who wants to take a look and tell me what, if anything, is missing?

The story is 4,800 words long, PG-13 and gen. I could provide a word document or upload on google drive.

Thanks!

fkficfest has brought forth 9 new stories by 8 authors. They were all very good.

My contribution was Food for the Soul, a case-fic featuring Nick, Schanke, Janette, Natalie, Lacroix, Cohen, and others.

FKFicFest has brought forth six new excellent FK stories. You can access them all from here. Go reading and leave a comment if you like.

My contribution was the casefic What Lies Buried.

The investigation of a 40-year old murder case uncovers more than Nick cares for.

Enjoy!

fkficfest has brought us 7 new Forever Knight stories. This year we played challenge instead of exchange. The mutual prompt was "10 years".

My contibution is Unexpected Alliance, featuring Nick, Schanke, Lacroix, Natalie, Cohen, and Janette.
Summary: A killer escapes from prison and targets everyone who was involved in the arrest 10 years ago.

While trying to figure out how to approach this prompt, I picked up two works in progress and tried to bend them to the prompt. While this did not work, there are now two more stories sitting in my files, waiting to be finished.

Sign-ups for this year's fkficfest are open through April 20 (Geraint's Birthday). Everybody's welcome to join!

fkficfest has generated 10 new FK stories.

I received Feint of Heart by waltd, a missing scene that sheds some light on Killer Instinct.

My contribution this year was One Loss Too Many, a Dark NN story with possible sequels.

fkficfest is still looking for players so that we can have the exchange style game. Sign-ups are open through June 25.

While waiting for the game to start, I've used the time to complete 2 Fandom Stocking gifts:

Old Customs Reinstated
for brightknightie
~800 words, Nick/Janette, G
Nick shows his affection for Janette in a special way.

Strings
for blueteak
8700 words, Nick/Lacroix, NC17
Casefic: Nick and Tracy investigate the murder of an orchestra member.

Sign-ups for this year's FKFicFest are open through June 14.
We need 9 participants to play an exchange game. So drop by and sign up at DW or LJ.

The more writers we get, the more new FOREVER KNIGHT stories we can all enjoy.

The Raven, or rather the club that served as the filming site for our favourite Toronto nightclub on Richmond/Duncan has reopened as a sportsbar. The entire building has ondergone major renovations during the last year. It now houses several venues under the name The Fifth. The Fifth Pubhouse is located on the ground floor/basement that is accessible through the Raven's former front door. The alley entrance leads to a smaller bar called Cabin Five.

I haven't been there yet, just passed by in a taxi at night, and was happy to see crowds of people going in and out.

The change would certainly make for an interesting fanfic, don't you think? In this context, it comes in handy that fkficfest has opened its sign-up period for this year's game. Sign-ups close on June 7. So drop by and leave your prompts.
