Summer Matt-A-Thon

The fabulous boudecia7 and I both have birthdays coming up soon, and in honor of how magnificently we’re both aging, we thought we’d do something slightly different this year and celebrate together by holding a summer-long fic-a-thon in three parts (well, it bleeds into autumn technically, but saying ‘summer-long’ sounded snazzier). The first part, as you can see from boudecia7's beautifully crafted banner above, will be a Matt-a-thon in the usual tradition, which I’ll explain in a moment. :D In a few weeks, we’ll be asking for prompts for fics that include any of the characters Grunny has played in his career (yes, go ahead and include his 5-second shirtless bit in Austin Powers, if you must XD. She’ll make me do that one). In the third and final section, coming in October, we’ll ask for more varied prompts from other fandoms that don’t necessarily include Grunny, at least in canon. :P

We’ll explain the other sections in greater detail when the time comes, but for now, here are the Notes for Matt-a-thon 2011:

1) Reply to this post with a fic prompt where Matt is a main character. Any other characters are welcome, and slash, het, and gen are all welcome, as are canon and AU in any genre your heart desires. This has never come up as many times as we’ve done this, so I hate to add a caveat again, but things we won’t be writing include bestiality, child pornography, necrophilia, or fics where Matt turns out to be Sylar in disguise—mind you that last sounds a bit silly after the first three. :P Nothing against Sylar, btw; feel free to prompt for him in any capacity so long as the fic also includes Actual!Matt.

2) Writers are welcome! More than welcome, believe me. :P If you’d be interested in writing for the Matt-a-thon, please reply here or PM boudecia7 or myself and let us know what you’d be willing to write (anything, or a particular prompt you like the look of?). If you’d like to fill a prompt anonymously, that shouldn’t be a problem either; just let us know and one of us will post the fic for you.

3) We’ll be taking prompts until July 24th, and then boudecia7 and I will divide the prompts and you’ll get a fic! All fics will be posted on August 14th; we’ve never had so many that they weren’t all filled, but if for some reason we have an extraordinary amount this year, we reserve the right to extend the posting deadline. I don’t anticipate that happening though. There’s a happy possibility that some prompts may be filled more than once, but everyone should receive at least one fill.

4) Anon requests are very welcome, although if you leave your username we’ll reply to your comment with a link to the fic once it is complete.

5) Completed fics will be posted to the journal of either boudecia7 or myself, and quite possibly cross-posted to appropriate comms as well. If another writer fills the prompt than I will put a link up on my journal.
6) If you have any questions, please feel free to leave them here or PM one of us. We’ll be happy to hear from you!

Hopefully this will be a lot of fun! Again, other writers are VERY welcome to join in, and we’ll be taking prompts until July 24th, so please PLEASE leave some prompts here for us to chew on; we’ve had a lot of great ones over the years and they’re always the best birthday gift ever! <333
