FANFICTION CHALLENGE ON ff BOARD

[lm]

I posted this fanfiction challenge in more detail on the GI ff board but want to put a quick notice about it here.

Challenge: write a G and M fanfiction (or other if you prefer--even non-romance) that puts the castaways right into the 70's and the disco era--which they would have eventually experienced, either on the island or off.

Sure LM, but what GI fanfiction really needs is more readers/reviewers. It's gone so very quiet on ff.net lately, with people disappearing off to other fandoms or what-have-you. There's no real encouragement to write fics if no-one is reading them, or if they are, they're not saying so.

I'm writing a story right now that takes place in '78 after they're rescued. There's no disco, but some epic physical comedy and some Kansans causing some trouble.

Teebs is right, though. It's a little depressing when people disappear from the boards/sites and there's no interaction. Or, even worse, that you see people are reading and then no replies. Yikes.

Preach it, sister.

I wrote a Rescue story, but they never really left the hotel, whomp whomp. And I have a story on there now which is a work in progress. It doesn't put me off writing, because that would be ridiculous, but it doesn't exactly have me punching the air, either. It seems that at the moment, JWood201 and I are keeping the GI ffnet board active, (yay us!) with one or two others who write something and then disappear. It'll pick up again, I'm sure, because what goes around comes around and GI will pick up in popularity once writers remember what a timeless and awesome show it really is.

Meanwhile, JWood201 and I continue to support each other. Right, little buddy?

Hahaha. Did they have connecting rooms, Teebs? o.O

It's true, I agree. Everything is circular - the people will come back to GI because it's timeless and awesome and fun to analyze.

Lack of reviews isn't going to make people stop (well, it might make some people stop), but they do tend to make people happy, haha.

Not this time. She stayed behind to 'help clear up' and then they decided it was more fun to jump on the bed.

They're missing us already.

We know they can also be used as bargaining tools. Ow ow
