Promptfest Anyone?

elrhiarhodan2013 was the first year I didn't host any sort of prompt fest on my journal since I started in fandom, which was a total shame, because I've always felt like these fests are a great way to get people involved in writing who might otherwise not want to publish in the greater community.
They are also a lot of work, and I did a terrible job of managing the last two I ran, never going back after the first few days and totaling up the contributions. It is a lot of work and for various (and probably inexcusable reasons) I fell down on the job.
Looking back at 2013, I think I didn't do a 'fest because the year started out on a really bad foot and it felt like - at least for the first four months - I was playing catch-up with my life. Then I (and a lot of other people in WC fandom) fell into a whole bunch of challenges - Pairings, WC Big Bang, then other big bangs and then Nano and Yuletide. I know that the White Collar Reverse Big Bang in on, but it's early days yet and perhaps the time is right to host a 'fest.
That being said, here's a poll:
[Poll #1950404]
I want your input because without you, this would be meaningless. If I do this, I'd like to start it tonight or early tomorrow so we can spend the holiday writing!

Date: 2013-12-31 04:11 pm (UTC)The daily tally is basically going through the day's fills and noting how many fills by each participant.

Date: 2013-12-31 04:54 pm (UTC)I'm probably more up for fics/ficlets rather than sentence challenges, but hey I'll try anything once, especially MB's Perfect Ass. ;)
Oh, and I can tally.
