Will there be another holiday exchange this year?

I didn’t see this message, so it’s been sitting around for a long time.  Sorry anon, and to all you kind ficathon followers!

Much as it breaks my heart to say it, the answer is no, probably not.  At this point I’m not sure if I will organize more ficathons in the future.

I’ve loved running the Forever Ficathon more than I can express. It started in Dec 2014 with Henry Morgan’s 7 Drunken Nights, and in that time there’s been 13 ficathons, making a total of 181 stories added to the fandom. In a fandom this small, that’s a significant percentage, and I’m so happy to have facilitated that contribution.

I’ve made some really good friends through the ficathon. Some have become dear friends who I chat with, some have shared dinner with me and my family in my home, or I in theirs, and all that because of this fandom and this ficathon.  It’s been a huge part of my life.

Life has conspired to give me less time for things like fandom, so I’m stepping away for now. I hope I’ll be able to come back to it in the future, but we’ll see.

Thank you to everyone who’s followed this blog, participated in or supported the ficathon. You’re a beautiful bunch of gems, all of you.

The Forever Holiday Exchange

Creators have been revealed! Go check things out and show these people some love if you haven’t already.

Also, huge thank you to everyone who participated, whether it was as a creator, through giving feedback, or spreading the word. You’ve all been great, and I had a lot of fun running this again! - @argylepiratewd

Common Thread by @argylepiratewd for @toughbreaks and @sidhebeingbrand “All right, Henry. What if I said I was actually a hundred forty-three years old—what would you do then?” Or, Henry learns his new love Isaac has more in common with him than originally thought.
The Family Secret by @avalonsilver for Ghost_Rider_of_the_Aragon When Henry doesn’t wake up no matter what Abigail does to rouse him, concern gives way to alarm. It’s up to her to figure out what to do. And with an 11-year-old Abe not knowing about his dad’s immortality, Abigail needs to make a tough decision. Even if this isn’t how she or Henry ever wanted to tell him.
Fortification by @bearholdingashark for @kristilynn Abigail comes home after a long day at work to find both her boys have been industrious while she was gone.
Ghosts and Christmas Past by @toughbreaks and @sidhebeingbrand for @truthisademurelady Abe loves Christmas in a secular family way, because of the memories. Henry, not so much. Also because of the memories. In 2016 the first night of Hanukkah falls on Christmas Eve; Henry’s buying a Christmas gift for the first time in a long time, Abe’s considering miracles, and there’ll be a little healing and a little light in the dark.
I Will Love You Forever by @estherthewordartist for @truthisademurelady Two photo collages for Henry/Abigail.
New Year by @kristilynn for @bearholdingashark It’s New Years Eve and Henry has a surprise for Jo.
The Night Before Christmas by Ghost_Rider_of_the_Aragon for sonneta When Henry and Jo are called away for a case on Christmas Eve, it’s up to Abe to keep his little brother distracted from his parents’ absence. Will little Abner have a Merry Christmas after all, even without his parents?
Paris by @superlc529 for @midgard “In my humble opinion, the single best thing to do in Paris is get lost.” - How did Henry come to that conclusion? By experiencing it, of course.
Refuge From the Cold by @argylepiratewd for @avalonsilver Having to share a bed with James on cold winter nights has Henry re-examining something he thought he knew about himself.
Shiver by sonetta for @andveryginger Henry and Jo get trapped in the cold. Will Henry have to reveal his secret in order to save Jo?
The Sidekick by @manypastfrustrations for @estherthewordartist ‘It was five months and twelve days since Jo Martinez had appeared at Henry Morgan’s door with a photograph and a question, one which led in turn to a lot of other questions. It was five months and twelve days since she had learned of Henry Morgan’s immortality. And it was four months and twenty-seven days since she had been convinced it was true.’ - In which Henry loses his scarf, Jo makes excuses, and Lucas has an identity crisis.
This Is Love by @midgard for @manypastfrustrations Henry/Abigail + Abe video
To Tango by @andveryginger for @superlc529 After weathering a year that brought an end to Henry’s deceptions; revealed the truth of his immortality to Jo; and brought them back to friendship and beyond, our favorite detective and medical examiner look forward to the new year ahead.
Traditions by @truthisademurelady for @argylepiratewd For one night, Henry Morgan’s past and present meet in the form of a Regency costume ball, and it’s time to revive some old traditions, such as stealing away with the woman of your dreams before she retreats behind the barricades of chaperoned teas and social graces.

Can we send an anonymous ask to our holiday exchange assignment, in case the prompt they gave on AO3 was vague?

No, I’d really prefer if those kinds of questions were sent to the mod email so we can pass them along.

And now, a very special Forever Ficathon event:

The 2016 Forever Holiday Exchange

As the season of giving and the end of the year get closer, what better time is there to share our love for Forever with each other by giving gifts of fic or art?

SIGN-UPS CLOSE TOMORROW! If you want to sign up, now’s your chance!

Sign-ups will close TUESDAY, DECEMBER 13, 11:59 Eastern Time

How to Sign Up: Fill out the signup form on AO3 HERE

You will be able to edit your signup details until signups close.

You will be matched based on Characters, Additional Tags, Categories, Ratings, and Warnings. You are only guaranteed something that matches one of each of these (one requested character + one requested relationship category + etc).

ASSIGNMENTS SENT:    Depends on AO3’s match generation speed, unfortunately. Hopefully soon after signups close.

GIFT SUBMISSION DEADLINE:     WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4, 2017, 11:59 PM Eastern Time

WORKS REVEALED:     SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 2017

CREATORS REVEALED:     SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 2017

Topic: Anything goes. Your requests and works do not have to be holiday related. Do remember that you’re making a gift for someone else, though, and keep their preferences in mind.

Length: Unlike the regular ficathons, the minimum length for fic in this exchange is only 500 words. Anything over that is great, of course! Other creative fanworks are welcome as well - art, vids, fanmixes/playlists, gifsets, etc. For these, use your own judgment for size. All works need to be complete.

How Posting Works: Works posted to the AO3 collection will be revealed on January 7th, 2017, and a Tumblr post featuring links to each work will be made afterward. Between then and January 14th, the creators of each work will remain anonymous. Until “the big reveal,” you’ll need to keep quiet about what you’re working on - no sneak peeks, please!

What is a pinch-hitter? A pinch-hitter is someone who takes the place of a creator who drops out of the exchange.

How to sign up as a pinch-hitter: For this exchange, Pinch Hits will be posted on the @foreverficathon blog. To grab a pinch hit, contact us by email (foreverficathon@gmail.com), and include your AO3 name in the email. Pinch hits will be assigned on a first come, first served basis.

Henry has 235 years behind him, and many more to come.  The Klondike Gold Rush, the Paris Modernist era, the USA Anti-War movement—Henry’s seen it all, but we’ve only heard a fraction of the tales he has to tell!  Where has he been, what has he done, and where will he go in the future?  In this ficathon, we tell Henry’s stories before the series, and those yet to come!
