Whoops. I had a fic almoooooooooost finished and didn't get to posting it last night. It's a busy season anyway.

I was wondering if you folks have considered maybe posting new challenge prompts every other week or something like that? I'm a pretty fast writer, and I can make it happen sometimes, but a week ends up being a little too fast of a turn around for me. I imagine it's outright impossible for slower writers.

(Also it's holiday fest season, and I'm swamped!)

[looselipssinkships]

Thanks for the suggestion! We'll have to talk about it with the mod team.

At this point, we are planning to run the theme week over the holidays for two weeks, because we know it's a busy season. We hadn't decided for the Colonel Kink prompts after that.

Anyone else have input on one week or two weeks for the memorial prompts?

[(Anonymous)]

I can dig a bi-weekly memorial prompt schedule!

[slightlytookish]

I'd LOVE to have two weeks to work on memorial prompts. One week definitely feels impossible for me as a slow writer with very little free time to write.

[thrillingdetectivetales]

TWO WEEKS PLEASE.

(Some of us are slow babies who really want to participate but have hectic work schedules at best.)

[scandalinbohemia]

Two weeks! Two weeks for us non-monsters who cannot dish up a fic a week!

[impala_chick]

2 weeks would definitely encourage me to plan something a bit longer.

[arwen88]

Yeah I wouldn't mind having two weeks, even if I'm fast when I get to it it's also holiday season. Plus actually I always have the problem that I need my stuff checked, so I can't count just for my schedule but for the fact that everybody has their personal - and often busy - real life!
