I know its taken me a while to get to this and I’m so sorry that it has. life has been super hectic lately. going over my previous post, it looks like we have maybe eight or nine people who would be willing to write for Feelstide. i don’t know if you guys think that’s enough. if you do, we’d have to do some really fast figuring out how to work it this year. i would want to give everyone plenty of time to write. so please circulate this far and wide if you want Feelstide to run this year. and hit up the askbox if you’re definitely willing so i know exactly how much interest we have. 

the sooner we know where we stand, the sooner we might be able to get things going.

Hello! Also still interesting to participate feelstide! hopefully there will be people will join too!! <3

my last post generated a little bit of interest (as is obvious by your message!) and i’ve seen three or four people say they’d be willing to participate. 

to be honest, it is getting late in the year. we have no prompts put together. i like to give people a few weeks to add prompts to the list. then a few weeks to choose a prompt or two. and then at least a month to write. that makes the schedule kind of cramped. based on the previous two runs, we could likely reveal all of the fics submitted (if we did it again) on Christmas Day. which would give people a little bit of time. i just hate rushing things. 

if we’re going to do this, we need to do it soon. so i really, really need an accurate count of how many people would be willing to write (anyone can submit a prompt) before we put together any list of prompts. 

so please. if you’re interested in writing for a run of Feelstide, reblog this post with a comment or a tag to let me know you want to do Feelstide. if i get enough interest, we can very possibly pull something together kind of quickly.

It's sad that this lovely festival won't be around anymore, but I've really enjoyed rereading the stories. I wonder if you would be willing (if you still have them) to share a list of the prompt ideas from the last years! I need a little inspiration.

It is sad, but this has been a tough year for me personally and without any real interest, I couldn’t honestly see trying to run it this year. It is possible that we could revisit the question of interest next fall and see if anyone is willing to give it a go. If so, Feelstide might run again.

For now, I will go ahead and link you to the gdoc from last year’s Feelstide. The highlighted prompts are the ones that were written. Please feel free to use any of them that strike your fancy.

Its getting to be that time of year again

So. Is there any interest in another round of Feelstide? Should I begin the set up process or should I allow it to die gracefully and with dignity? 

Reblog with your thoughts and opinions. Or send an ask or hit up the IM. Let me know what you think.

Hey there! Do you think there’s a chance that Feelstide could get brought back this year? I know there wasn’t much interest last year in bringing this challenge back but I’ve always loved it and I know that a few other challenges that overlapped with this one wont be happening this year, so maybe more people would be free and able to participate?

To be perfectly honest, nonny, you’re the first person who has expressed any interest in Feelstide in more than a year. I really hadn’t given any thought to running it this year because of this. 

Still, if enough interest can be generated, it is possible that we could run Feelstide again. We’ll just have to see what happens.

On the thirty-third day of Feelstide

Our author gave to us:

Barney’s by msraven

Summary: Written for the Feelstide prompt: There is a coffee shop exactly halfway between campus and Phil's hometown. Phil stops every time he makes the drive because it helps break up the monotony... the cute guy behind the counter is just a bonus.

Five times Phil stops at Barney's and one time he stays.

On the thirty-second day of Feelstide

Our author gave to us:

Santa with a soccer ball by aquinique

Summary: Clint Barton, the enfant terrible of the school soccer team, is in love with Phillip Coulson. Also his hair is electric blue, because nobody told him that purple isn't his color. It all comes down to one problem: what to give Phil for Secret Santa?

can i just say you and shadowen made feelstide 2015 complete

You can say that! And it will be true!

…also it will be true that @shadowen did not write for feelstide this year! I will take this as more proof that her awesome awesomeness transcends all things. Also though she did recently post a time to receive which is Clint/Bucky Christmas meet-the-family fic, and it made me cry while beta-ing, jsyk.

(Also. Heh. I totally want to write a fic about a character’s first time bottoming and call it ‘a time to receive.’ 

Heh. :D)

(A link to my feelstide fic: The Best Goy a Guy Could Have! The whole collection is really good, i’m working my way through slowly and enjoying it thoroughly. <3)
