Is this thing on???? AKA your very late Fic Corner wake up and brainstorming post!

[evil_plotbunny]

Well, it wouldn't be fic corner if I weren't late at something. Like announcing that there would be a Fic Corner this year. :D Everything's shifted a little late because of the late start and you'll have a little less time to write, but here we go. (cue music)

Two things to note this year:
1. Prompts will be visible from the start of sign-ups
2. We need to grow a little from last year for me to consider running this in 2020. It's very difficult to run a multi-fandom exchange with 25 people and get everyone matched.

The Exchange at Fic Corner 2019 Schedule
June 17th - Brainstorming Post will open; Any Changes to Eligibilty Rules will be posted (none this year).
June 20th - June 27th - Nominations
June 28th - June 30th - Bonus Round
June 30th - July 7th - Sign-Ups
July 8th or 9th - Assignments Sent Out
August 31st - Deadline for Stories
September 7th - Collection Goes Live

For anyone who hasn't done this before, Bonus Round is the period where I catch mistakes in the tagset and allow people to add 1 extra character to a nominated fandom.

Go forth and brainstorm in the comments.

Got a favo(u)rite kids or YA book or series or story you want other people to write for or request? Want to know if you're "the only one" who ever read that one particular book or who loves that certain character?

Some helpful brainstorming links provided by elf and a few added by me.
