Dear All,


are your fingers itching to write, but you need a little prompt to get you started? Well, you can still write some fics for the wonderful themes we had here at [info]sm_monthly in April last year. There are two sets of themes to choose from, poetry and AU! Follow the links below, they conveniently take you to the respective prompt post.



If you post your fics until April 6th, 2012, then they are even still eligible for the awards!

Ficathon 2011



Thalia asked me if I would let everyone know about this. Here's all the information you've been waiting for.

Theme: Literary Quotes

"Your first kiss is destiny knocking." - Alice Sebold

Literary quotes touch upon countless different themes that often fit very well with our beloved senshi/shitennou, including love, loss, fate, friendship, remembrance, past/present/future, forgiveness, and numerous others. Use something from the above site to inspire your writing!

Sign-ups are now under way and will remain open until the 22nd. Hope to hear from everyone soon!!

Please email the following information to caffeineivore[at]gmail[dot]com:

1) Your pen name
2) Email address (preferably a fandom one as opposed to a work/personal one)
3) Are you old enough to/not averse to reading smut?
4) What about violence?
5) Favourite senshi/shitennou/pairing?
6) Lucky number draw, 1-20 inclusive.

Spread the word, let's get this show on the road!!
