Histories Ficathon III: Return of the Kings

HEYYYYYYY YOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUU GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUYYYYYYYYYS /electric company

It is THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN, in which it is time to increase the amount of histories fic in the world by lots. We have done this twice now, and I feel that by fandom standards that counts as an Institution.

ANNOUNCING THE THIRD ANNUAL thisengland HISTORIES FICATHON AND LOVEFEST

( Administrative things, how to sign up, rules, &c. )

Email all of this info to me at strangebrooch AT gmail DOT com, or to lareinenoire at lareinenoire AT gmail DOT com, by 15 JUNE. Don't forget to include your lj handle if it's not clear from your email and/or I don't know who you are. Alternately, I suppose you could just post here. The final deadline for fics is tentatively set at 15 AUGUST. (This is negotiable if it's a bad time for participants.)

NEW FOR 2010: In the past we've just posted the fics more or less as soon as we got them. This year we have decided to change that and follow the practice of ides_of_april, and wait two days before posting the fics. In the meantime, I will post all unwritten prompts at thisengland for anyone to write fic of any length (even if you weren't originally part of the exchange). I'll explain the rules for that when it's a little closer to the deadline.

Histories-related fic from this year's au_bigbang challenge

Not one, but two!

As is evident from the nature of the exchange, both of these fics have AU settings.

For Truth, For Duty, and for Loyalty (Richard III) by gileonnen - Richard of Gloucester has a plan for the planet of Albia, and Ratcliffe wants to be part of it. Science fiction AU. Featuring art by speak_me_fair.

Delirien (1 Henry VI) by lareinenoire - In the giddy years of the early twentieth century, the families of York and Lancaster seem to have come to an uneasy truce when Humphrey Lancaster befriends young Richard York and offers him a chance to mend his wrecked fortunes. What neither of them anticipates is the war that will destroy everything they know. Featuring a fanmix by cherith and art by gileonnen.
