...and here’s the relevant paragraph:

“The game has historically taken place in either July or September, once in October, but could presumably be started at any time in that late summer/early fall range, provided no other big event is happening at the time. Huinesoron has typically been the one to start it, but that doesn't mean you can't if you want to.”

If that’s not the case, we should change the wiki article. (And it was originally in April, if I recall correctly.)

I’d like to see what others say as well.

Paging hS! Badfic Games! by Linstar on 2022-07-16 16:33:18 UTC Reply

It is now mid July. Therefore, I’m requesting that we start the Badfic Games!

I’ll wait for hS, the FanficVerse master, to officially declare the Games.

I understand being eager to do PPC Badfic, but we've mostly been doing it in September. by Kittyauthor on 2022-07-16 16:42:21 UTC Reply

The last July one we had was, according to the Wiki, 2011. All the rest (except one) have been in September.

So, I'd say we hold off until September again unless we have more people available to do the Badfic Games in July than in September.

Anyone else have some thoughts on this?

If that’s not the case, we should change the wiki article. Basically, the last nine Games have been in September (with one in October), six before that were July, and the original was in April.

So I'd appreciate if someone could update the article. by Huinesoron on 2022-07-17 10:35:25 UTC Reply

September is good, because a) everyone's back in school and needs a distraction, and b) it's six months off from the Shipfest. If someone could edit it that would be great.

You can also remove the part about me starting it. fanficVERSE is not running live with the Games, so I can just update it whenever. The site is at https://fanficverse.neocities.org/, and at some point I'll backfill the missing years (2015-2019, I think).

I’m a tad disappointed, but as for updating the wiki article, how about this:

“The game has historically taken place in July, but now occurs mostly in September. If you want, you can start it, provided no other big event is happening at the time.”

Better?

—Ls is looking forward to September 1st

People sometimes want time to write things. by Lily Winterwood on 2022-07-17 07:26:19 UTC Reply

Not to mention hS needs time free to archive stuff on FanficLand/Verse/World. So keeping it at a more predictable “September” might be easier for him.

Of course, this depends on his energy levels, but I know personally I would like more time to write.
