I'm always very anal about filling out paperwork (hey, no pun intended!), so help me interpret the sign-up instructions?

(up to) Three prompt requests - Would that be 3 things you want in one story? Or 3 things, any one of which you would like to see in the story you receive?

Setting request: Optional? (and of course I'm wondering if it would have to fit all 3 prompts)

Prop request: ditto

Seriously, I agonize over this kind of stuff.

:-)

(Oh! And it's "pinch" hitter. *g*)

1. Up three prompt requests: That means it gives the writer three different possible scenarios to choose from or they can combine them in one story.

2. Setting request: Where you'd like to see it taking place. For example, I'd asked for a bar in the middle of nowhere.

3. Prop request: an object you'd like to see one of the characters to use specifically within the story.

(Oh! And it's "pinch" hitter. *g*)

Really? I've always thought it was 'pitch' hitter. I've run three ficathons now and no one told me! *facepalm*

But does this help out in anyway? I guess I should come up with a FAQ, for some reason I always think that folks have more experience at ficathons than me.

And you're not the only one that agonizes over this kind of thing, I know I still do. It took me forever to come up with a third prompt over coming up with a quote to use instead.

You can do a FAQ after the assignments go out - that's where it'll come together. Most people (who aren't me) can handle the prompt portion without any problem!

I just won't worry about it and let my writer do all the worrying. ;-)
