I thought I might just give people a bit of an update on how things are going.

At the end of last week, I finally figured out a way to tell the people at FanLore Wiki about the disappearance of FortuneCity; and, as it turned out, no one there had realized it was gone. They immediately put together a spreadsheet with a long list of fandoms, posted an urgent call for help (as did the OTW), and told me that—as I'd brought it to their attention—they were putting me in charge of the project.

Eep.

Fortunately for my sanity, it didn't actually work like that. (In fact, I think it was MorganDawn who did a lot of the organizing.) What did happen, though, was that quite a large number of people rallied to the call. They buzzed around, busily googling "FortuneCity" and their favourite fandoms to find what sites had existed, and then adding them to the ever-growing list. So, of course, I had to pitch in and help too.

However, now that the list of lost fan sites is getting fat (though people are still finding things to add), I've finally had a chance to catch my breath. And that means that I've finally signed up for fkficfest. (I think brightknightie's been getting rather worried. So far, very few people have signed up, and the deadline is this Friday.)

Of course, the truth is that I've had it in mind for the last couple of weeks, and simply been too busy to even think about what sort of story I want. Nevertheless, although I did give a couple of prompts that were pretty close to ones I asked for last year, I did also toss in something new.

Anyone else who's thinking of taking part this year, please don't forget that sign-ups close Friday!
