Fic-a-thon idea

Does anyone remember the 50 First Hamburger Dates ficathon we had back in season 2?

We should do that again. We know Belle wants to see the world. We know Rumple wants to be the one to show it to her. Now they have their happy ending with their baby, and can leave town without worrying that everything will be on fire when they get back, it’s safe to assume travel might be in their future.

Would anyone be interested in an event over the summer with stories about those travels? There’s the whole world to choose from, and any kind of adventure you want.

How about the time they went to Rome and accidentally ended up solving a murder? The time they went to Thailand and discovered dragons also made it to the Land Without Magic? The time they went to the Bahamas and spent a solid week on the beach, and Belle discovered that where logic and reason fail, the promise of her in a red string bikini, Gideon wanting to paddle, and a private beach, is enough to tempt Rumple into slightly more casual clothing?

…I also kind of want to call it Rumbelle Happy Trails but that might be misinterpreted xD So how about Rumbelle See The World?

Thoughts?

1000% behind this. Count me in! I think it’s a brilliant idea and utterly perfect for Rumbelle!

I wasn’t around for the previous ficathon so I don’t know how this will work but I’m in no matter what really. Just tell me what I have to do and I will do it 🙂

What was cool about the Hamburger Dates one was that there wasn’t one big posting day – instead, everyone who signed up got assigned a day to post (some days were double-booked, I think), so for like fifty days there was guaranteed at least one awesome fic posted 😀 There weren’t any penalties for not posting, either, it was just a fun way to fill the winter hiatus that year before RSS. 

On the other hand, that might be a lot of effort, so one big posting day mid-august could also work. 

If you need help organizing I volunteer. I’ve seen that kind of “claim a day” thing before, not for fic but for pep talks during November NaNo. There was a spreadsheet on google docs and people added themselves to a free day. That might be a good way to do it. This is your show though so just let me know if I can help in any way 🙂
