Poll: Thirty-Six Stratagems Ficathon Interest
I've gotten hit over the head two days ago with a crazy idea for a ficathon. So I'm polling for interest.
The idea: multifandom ficathon with prompts based on the Thirty-Six Stratagems. What are the Thirty-Six Stratagems? Well, if you don't want to follow the Wikipedia link, the Thirty-Six Stratagems is a Chinese essay illustrating the uses of stratagems for war, politics, and civil interaction. They are 36 short Chinese proverbs with a sentence or two of further description.
The idea is that authors would interpret one of the 36 in any which way they want, and then write something based on it.
It'd probably be a low-key type thing. But here's a poll to see if there's any interest. If I'm forgetting anything key, or you want to expand on an answer, or you have a really cool idea, tell me in the comments.
