This is the official sign-up post for the Darla ficathon - not a ficathon in the traditional sense, since I'm not going to try and pair people off with assignments. In fact, I'm going to keep it as simple as possible (for my own sake as much as anything, as I've never done this sort of thing before). Once people have signed up, I'll put up another post where they can post story prompts. So you can either pick up a prompt that takes your fancy or write whatever comes into your head, as long as it's about Darla.
The rules (such as they are)
Whatever you write must feature Darla in a central role. She doesn't have to be the POV character, but the story should revolve around her somehow. And since she's very, very old (sorry, Darla, but you are) that gives you four centuries' worth of history, plus all that show canon to play around with.
Any pairings are permitted, but if other pairings than Darla pairings are featured, it has to be in how they relate to Darla.
Your fic should be at least 1000 words long and new. No re-posting of old fics. No maximum word limit, the story can be a novel-length epic if you like. I certainly won't complain.
No bashing of any characters or pairings, 'cos I hate that, and so does Darla (unless it's her doing the bashing).
Deadline
Stories should be posted the weekend of Saturday 31st October/Sunday 1st November. I will put up a reminder post mid-month for the next three months (as long as someone reminds me).
And that's it. Please leave a comment below if you're interested in taking part.
