Question!

[allfireburns]

Okay, so. kawaiispinel and chicafrom3 reminded me of an idea I had ages ago for an obscure musical ficathon, and chicafrom3 wanted someone to run one, so... I figure in the next couple months I will set up a ficathon for just that purpose.

Here's the question - when do I run it? Too late for October, obviously, November is right out of the question (NaNo and all), in December it'll be competing with a lot of other ficathons... So. Poll.

(Note that I am planning to run a Chess... not ficathon, but challenge-type-thing in December on allsixtyfour, and take that into account. Or maybe I'll do Secret Santa in December, and the challenge in January or February... Anyway.)

But in December, people have some time off.

This is true. But there are a million and one ficathons running in December, plus various Secret Santa things, plus normal holiday stuff, and the people who do NaNo are trying to recover from that... December is often one of the worst times for any real writing projects for me.

I thought NaNo was in June...maybe that's just Canadian NaNo or something. I'll have to check.

Some people do a June Nano. And Nano was originally, in the first year, maybe two, in June. And this past June there was a thing like Nano called Script Frenzy. But no, official NaNoWriMo is in November.

Wow, this is almost as confusing as Chris Columbus's messed up time frame for the Rent movie!

XD Well, Nano's first year or two was mostly a group of people in Cali. And they originally did it in June. But then they moved it to November, for whatever reason. Some people can't do it in November, due to scheduling and what-not, so they do it in June instead.

And then there was a separate thing called Script Frenzy this past June that was like Nano for scripts.
