dw_50ficathon update

Thanks to a rule change (two open claims are now allowed at a time) and some pimping, the [profile] dw_50ficathon has passed the halfway mark -- we have 28 years claimed or fulfilled!

Which is still not 50, but 28 fics based on 28 years of Doctor Who? That's pretty awesome. : ) Also, there's still several weeks for new claims before Nov. 23rd.

Finally, I keep reminding myself that there's no word minimum -- perhaps I should encourage a fill-a-year-with-a-drabble madness session in the closing days?

However, while counting up unfilled years, I made the omg-I'm-so-stupid discovery that the ficathon actually needs 51 fics to fulfill every year from 1963 through 2013, not 50 . . . (shhh, don't tell anyone).

It's one of those obvious things that's not obvious at all until you notice it! But I'm not changing the community's tagline, so we'll just pretend it's 50 fics. Maybe the last one is like the extra candle on the birthday cake?

Absolutely!! Bonus fic. It should maybe actually involve candles...
