The Americans: NYR 2014

[wendelah1]

The Americans fandom had a very successful Yuletide. Five new stories were added to the growing collection of fanfiction for our series, all of it quite good, too. But wouldn't it be nice to have more?

If you are looking for inspiration, these are the Yuletide letters from the spreadsheet. If you use one of the prompts you can post the gift to the New Year's Resolution 2014 Collection.

Please, please cross-post your Yuletide and NYR stories to our community, too.

If there are any missing letters or signups, let me know and I'll add them here, and try to message the spreadsheet folks.

Inspired by someone on my reading list, my New Year's resolution is to try to write a story each month for the New Year's Resolution Collection.

Are you with me? NO? Fair enough. We all have lives and other fandoms, too. But we have 43 members here. Our fandom currently has 30 stories on AO3. If every member wrote just one story for The Americans between now and next October (or whenever they get it together to send out assignments for Yuletide 2014), we'll have more than doubled the number of stories. If we each write two or three stories, well, the sky is the limit, isn't it?

Happy New Year!

I write the story, gift it to whomever and add it to the collection?

That's exactly right. Just make sure it's the NYR (New Year's Resolution) collection, not yuletide per se, and you're golden.

How do I know if the prompt had been filled already?

You don't necessarily--that's my point. It doesn't matter whether the prompt has been filled already, because every writer's interpretation of the prompt is different. So if you see a prompt you like, don't worry about whether or not it's already been filled, just go to town!
