Roundup: Fic In A Box 2023
17 Dec 2023 06:53 amRecycling some of my verbiage from last year’s roundup: ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
ficinabox is a large exchange (almost 1,000 works in 322 fandoms this year) that challenges you to write 10K words (or the equivalent in other media), but the words/other can be broken up into multiple works. Many different media types are explicitly included and can be requested via tags — for example "Reddit: In-Universe r/AmITheAsshole Post," "Knitting Chart," "Illustrated Text - Bestiary."
There's also a swap option. Once you receive your assignment, you can trade some of it in for another assignment. For example you can trade in 5K words of your assignment for 5K words of one or more other assignments.
This is my fourth year participating. The first two years, I wrote a single 10K work. Last year I swapped part of my assignment for three other assignments, for a total of four. That was a bit of a mistake. This year I ended up with three assignments. I defaulted on one but I picked up a pinch hit to replace it, so I don’t feel too bad about that.
I typically angst terribly over this exchange but end up receiving wonderful gifts and writing things I am pleased with, even if they don’t get tons of attention. That happened this year too.
I wrote about 17,500 words altogether — for the film Amadeus (Amadeus/Salieri), the novel Band Sinister by KJ Charles, and the novel series His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman.
I received four delightful gifts: Two for Ragnarok TV, one for Loki TV, all by my fanfic friend with whom I run a “more cakes” bakery shop (♥) and one original work in the supernatural noir detective genre.
