Finish-a-thon 2010
I recently signed up for what is known as a Finish-a-thon -- the goal of which is to help a writer finish one of those long-neglected blot bunnies or already begun tales that are kicking around the place.
It is set up as a LiveJournal poll, and that means any of you who wish to can vote, to help me decide which of my stories gets finished -- or at least worked on to the point of 10,000 more words written, in the case of an impossibly long epic that could in no way be finished by the deadline! ;-)
I have proposed the following tales as candidates for finishing -- two are multiple chapter works, and two are plot bunnies that I WILL write, but it looks like I need help in getting them started. They are all in the LotR fandom:
(1)
Fandom: Lord of the Rings
Rating: teen
Type: gen
Description: Face of the Enemy -- "Boromir and the forces of Gondor must act quickly to defend against an unexpected attack from an army of Haradrim. This tale takes place in the year before the events leading up to the attack on Osgiliath by Sauron, and Boromir setting out on his quest in July 3018." (http://www.henneth-annun.net/stories/c
Currently stalled at 8 chapters! It probably has a good 5 chapters left to get it where I want it to go.
(2)
Fandom: Lord of the Rings
Rating: teen
Type: gen
Description: Lords of Gondor -- "Every Boromir fan dreams of how the story might have gone if Boromir had not died that day upon Amon Hen, and wonders how having a living Boromir might affect the outcome of the story. This is that tale as I have imagined it -- an AU tale of Boromir alive, doing what it takes to get back home." (http://www.henneth-annun.net/stories/c
Currently stalled at 45 chapters -- no idea how many more it will be, so this one is basically epic.

Fandom: Lord of the Rings
Rating: all-ages
Type: gen
Description: Plot bunny about cicadas in Middle-earth. I love cicadas and ME, so thought it would be fun to put them together.
(4)
Fandom: Lord of the Rings
Rating: teen
Type: gen
Description: Plot bunny about Boromir and Faramir on a journey to survey the coastal lands of Gondor. Faramir fears the sea and dreams of boats and premonitions of doom.
And my poll is here, so please go vote and help me choose which one to concentrate on this summer! I think the polls are open until Friday, so don't hesitate, go vote! :-D

I'm feeling quite stirred to finish all of them at this point, so the Finish-a-thon is already having a good effect!!
