Fkcommentfic

fkcommentfic is a LiveJournal/Dreamwidth community (crossposted) for creative writing about Forever Knight and its characters. Its formal name is Bite-Size FKFic; but it is more usually referred to by its LJ/DW comm-name.
The purpose of the community is to encourage writing, especially by lurkers (though in practice the participants are those who write for FK Fic Fest). To this end, it runs themed challenges for which members post prompts to which the stories are posted as comments. Given the restrictions on comment length on LiveJournal and Dreamwidth, this effectively limits stories to ficlets, vignettes, drabbles, and the like. However, it is permitted to post longer stories over multiple comments. 
The moderator of the community is amilyn, who established it on 17 July 2011. Four challenges were run; but the community has been inactive since 2013.
==Round 1: FKFicfest '11 After-Party==
This was the Dead Dog Party for FK Fic Fest 2011. People were encouraged to post ideas for stories, especially the prompts they had submitted for which stories had not been written.

==Round 3: Bloor Street Mistletoe Stations==
This was a Winter Challenge for Christmas 2012. 
In the real world,A description of the real-life "kissing stations" can be found in the Toronto Star article "Few pucker up at Bloor St. kissing stations", 25 November 2012 (accessed 24 June 2021). the Bloor Annex Business Improvement Area in Toronto installed 21 "kissing stations" along Bloor Street between Bathurst Street and Spadina Avenue for the Christmas season. Each station suspended a red-ribboned bunch of fake mistletoe from a tinsel-bedecked lamp over a white circle with red text: "Mistletoe Kissing Station Approved by the Bloor Annex BIA." 
The challenge: Picture this real initiative in Forever Knight's fictional Toronto!

==Round 4: FKFicfest '13 After-Party==
This was the Dead Dog Party for FK Fic Fest 2013. Unlike previous years, the moderator got things rolling by herself posting one prompt from each of the other players who had participated in the ficathon along with a first ficlet for each prompt. (This was effectively in lieu of the party favours that had concluded FK Fic Fest in previous years.)
===Schedule===
The Dead Dog Party started on 4 August 2013 (i.e., as soon as FK Fic Fest was over). The deadline for posting prompts was 31 August, and the deadline for posting stories was 30 September.
