Unfilled Prompts: Update

Another participant came forward to say they didn't receive a story. Their prompts have been added to the UNFILLED PROMPTS post, which you should check out immediately! We have four authors over there, each of whom did their part and wrote a great story for the fest, but who didn't get anything in return. They need some love!

There are prompts from the following big fandoms:

Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Doctor Who (new)
Harry Potter
Highlander
Star Trek XI
Star Wars
Stargate SG1
Stargate Atlantis
Supernatural

as well as some smaller fandoms.

Anonymous posting! The mod should collect all the stories and post under genficbot (created for this purpose). Then have a reveal!

IF we do another exchange, should we update the Official Fandoms list? (Possible additions: Glee, White Collar, Eastwick, Stargate Universe.)

Have the mod put together a new Official Fandoms list (based on what was requested/written in R1) without the nominating/voting hassle. (My vote.)
