Congrats to the people who run ficathons! They deserve loads of hugs!

Here are my top 5 Ficathon Moments of 2005

Happy!Wes Ficathon run by caoilainn
See ratings on specific stories
Some exceptional stories were written for this ficathon, a few of which have already been recced here. And a ficathon which was also a brilliant concept in itself. Who doesn't want to make Wesley happy?

Night they Never Met Ficathon run by karabair
See ratings on specific stories
A really intriguing idea for a ficathon putting characters together that never met in canon, but really, probably should have. A wide varieties of fics and characters and styles to suit anyone.

We Will Not Fade Away Ficathon run by maybedarkpink
See ratings on specific stories
Some very strong fics produced again, with tantalising glimpses of what happened after the dragon swooped in! Nice concept for a ficathon *and* wonderful to see people inspiring new thoughts and interest in the 'verse.

Spike/Tentacle Erotic Valentine's Day Ficathon run by bogwitch
See ratings on specific stories
What started off as some good natured fun, produced some wonderfully dark and delicious fics all round. Great twist on the Valentine's Day concept too.

ficathon_codex run by bookishwench
Searching for a ficathon? Want to be updated on upcoming ficathons? Yes, and some of us actually do! :) This is a fantastic resource for keeping in touch with all the ficathons going on in the fandom.

Hee. My half arsed excuse to get people to write me stuff with tentacles will go down in infamy!

Heeee! :) But the fics were really well-written and it's cool to think outside the square, isn't it?

This is a great reminder for ficathons I saw going on with interest and still have yet to check out.

And I love ficathon_codex for letting us know about upcoming 'thons but also so diligently searching for 'thons that have changed URLs due to LJ name changes. It's such an incredible resource.

Thanks! I hope you find something of interest. There's a wealth of variety there, I think, so something for everyone :)
An amazing resource, and must be so time-consuming. bookishwench does an outstanding job.

Ooh, nice selection. These are good reminders. I remember really wanting to sign up for the Night They Never Met ficathon but having a lot on my plate at that time, and I don't think I remembered to go back and read the results.

And I adore how efficient the ficathon_codex has been.

Thank you. Yes the Nevermet Ficathon bristles with possibilities doesn't it? I'm not sure why I didn't either, you know what I'm like with ficathons! :) And some really good fic was produced too!
ficathon_codex is an amazing resource. ::nods::

There a couple here I don't remember hearing about and the second one sounds particularly fun for trying out new stuff. Oh, for more time!

[lillianmorgan.livejournal.com]

Exactly, more time would be of the good :)
I'm glad I brought some new-to-you stuff to your attention. That must be the first time in like ever :)

I'm glad you enjoyed Nevermet!

Happy Wes was also my favorite.

[lillianmorgan.livejournal.com]

Thanks very much for running it. Such a great idea and some wonderful fics.
I really enjoyed your fic too in the Happy!Wes ficathon and was glad when crazydiamondsue recced it earlier.

Too right they do! The 'never met' ficathon especially seems like such an inspired idea - wish I'd been around in time to catch on to it.

[lillianmorgan.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure how I missed it either, but catching up on the fics was a lot of fun.

Just bumped into this today. Thanks for the rec!
