So you know Lost: No one ever ends up with the one they love. People (a whole bunch of them) die tragically. They sell their souls to the devil, et cetera. It seems no one is destined for a happy ending, unless we give them one. So ... I was thinking of starting a fic type thing where people write a happy ending for their favorite characters. It's usually better to do these during the hiatus and all but it's on my mind now.
This could be a formal thing or something as simple as you going, "By Jove! I think I will write a happy ending fic!"
(And yes, I still love angst but sometimes we need some happiness too, yes?)

So, a Happy Endings kind of fic thing should be:
A proper ficathon with a list of prompts and everything!
4(20.0%)
It could be a fic table!
1(5.0%)
It could be a one-day prompt at Lostsquee
4(20.0%)
Just a simple "Write a Lost Happy Ending Fic" will suffice
2(10.0%)
And the timing should be:
Right now!
1(5.0%)
Right after the season finale
3(15.0%)
After we've had time to process the season finale
4(20.0%)
Something ongoing, with no particular deadline
5(25.0%)
Doesn't matter, I won't have time/am not interested anyway!

That's a good idea! Like a "going back in time to fix everything" prompt. Or the old standby: "it was just a terrible dream" prompt (which I've actually written myself, LOL).
However, I could really do with a nice dose of happy ending for those characters right now. Dare I say it? I'm kind of feeling the Con Mama ship for the first time...
Sounds like it could be fun though. Time permitting, I'd take part in something like that :)
I'm thinking of doing a very open-ended one with optional prompts so people can approach it however they like! Because handing out assignments is really a LOT of work! I did it once, a long time ago and it took me hours to match up people's requests with other people willing to write them.
And sorry for ramblin so long. Anyway, this sounds like a nice idea, so I'm looking forward to seeing what you decide to do with it.
Ugh, I just got an e-mail with the dates for some upcoming tests. Something tells me I won't have much time to write, but I refuse to let that stop me, especially if happy endings are involved. I love my angst, but a little change never hurt anyone and Lost is angsty enough as it is. I still have some fic bunnies from the No Name challege at
Time, we need more of it.
