Post-reveal discussion

[dark_administrator]

We're thinking about this challenge and community, and what its future might look like, and to do that we'd like to know how the experience so far has been.

So now that authors are revealed, how did your participation in the Dark Agenda Challenge go?
What thoughts do you have about it?
How did it change your yuletide experience?
What suggestions would you have for your future self doing this next year (or next ficathon)?
Any tips and tricks you'd like to share with the rest of us? (Here's one - a good source for suitable character names is local newspapers from the region.)

What problems or frustrations did you have, either while writing, or tagging, or reading? What trends (disturbing or pleasant), did you you notice?

Would you do it again next year?

it was terrifying and wonderful. terrifying because i didn't know the source material and it was my first time writing a chromatic character in a chromatic source. (clueless white girl here.) but wonderful because i got the opportunity to make myself a little less clueless and also write in a needy fandom. i also had the pleasure of working with an awesome beta.

in future i would like to make myself more familiar with chromatic fandoms so that i'm more prepared. and particularly those that are australian--there was an australian chromatic fandom requested that i didn't even know about until sign-ups were happening. educate thyself! etc.

it was exciting that someone else wrote in the same tiny fandom--it actually made me more enthusiastic about the source material.

um, i don't think i have anything useful to offer.
