I agree! Why isn't it here? I want it to be here! I tried to do this whole fic fest thing to liven up the 19th c. lit fic scene and it was a COLOSSAL FLOP. I thought if I built it they would come, you know? But very few came!


I think I actually saw that. If it was the one I'm thinking about, it did made the round between the small-ish group of JA fans I'm part of. I think that at the time I considered participating, but I was not at all sure the type of fanwork the fest was prompting would mesh with what I could produce. (For example, I'm a very canon focussed person, particularly regarding pairings.)

If I could guess, the other JA fans in the forums never got to hear of it.

And people not in the fandom, even though they may be fans of the cnaon or like the idea, are less likely to get involved in something that will consume time they usually give their own fandoms, excepting established cases like Yuletide.
