Antonia Forest Fanworks Fest 2015

[lilliburlero.livejournal.com]

The collection is now open for you to go and read! There are 13 stories by 9 writers, which I think is a respectable tally, bringing the total number of Marlows fics on the AO3 to 99. Thanks very much to everyone who participated. Please do leave kudos and comments: it is by such that fic writers live! And if you'd like to, do promote the collection on your own journal or in other places where you think people might be interested. I'd especially appreciate it if someone posted a link on the Antonia Forest Facebook comm, as I don't have a Facebook page these days.

If you want to de-anonymize your prompts, you can do so under 'Edit sign-up' on your AO3 dash. There's absolutely no obligation to de-anonymize if you don't wish to.

Once again, thanks to all the writers, and happy reading!

De-anonymising

[mheloyse.livejournal.com]

Sorrow - As an AO3 iggy type, I'm having great difficulty finding the 'edit sign up' option under my dash & could find no help from the FAQ. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

No worries: on your dashboard page, go to 'Sign ups' on the left hand menu, then you should see Challenge Sign-ups for [Username], and the 'Edit sign-up' button is there below 'Antonia Forest Fanworks'. Click on it and you'll see a page to edit your prompts, and for each prompt you want to de-anonymize uncheck the box that says 'Semi-anonymous prompt'. Any problems, just let me know.

Thanks trimmensely!

I just wanted to say 'thanks' to Lilliburlero for organising the 2015 Fanworks Fest. It's been a real treat to have so many new fics to read all in one go. A very fitting Centenary tribute!

And thanks to you (and everyone) for contributing!

I've very much enjoyed reading all the stories in the collection. Thank you for organising!
If anyone else, like me, is getting withdrawal symptoms since the end of the read-through, perhaps we could start some of the discussions that were suggested previously, such as characters, themes etc?

[lilliburlero.livejournal.com]

Things are being planned viz. more discussion posts! Watch this space (or feel free to start a discussion if there's a particular post you'd like to make, obvs.)

Would anyone be interested in a read through of The Thursday Kidnapping?

[occasionalhope.livejournal.com]

Yes, I would. I vaguely thought it was going to happen after the Marlow reread.

[lilliburlero.livejournal.com]

I don't think anything is in the pipeline for a readthrough of The Thursday Kidnapping (I've a copy, but I haven't read it yet), so if you want to start one, that would be great.

[jackmerlin.livejournal.com]

I would be interested in following a read=through of Thursday Kidnapping. I probably wouldn't contribute much as I don't have a copy of the book but I read a library copy relatively recently.

Thank you

I rationed this latest batch of stories over the past day or two - as always, just wonderful. Thank you so much to all the writers; there's so much talent - and so much Forest - in these pieces.

I've added the stories to the Antonia Forest fanfic page here (http://www.lauracanning.net/antonia-forest-fanfiction-a-readers-guide.html) - lots and lots there for anyone feeling bereft after reading these 13...
