Dysfunctional relationships on V-Day

So, from my last post on the subject, it certainly seems there'll be enough interest in a dysfunctional relationship ficathon to go ahead with it. A commenter did mention, though, that my idea is similar to the exchange that will be posting at [livejournal.com profile] hp_emofest, though probably different enough not to interfere too much.

But, question about format, since I think both of these suggestions have potential. Option A would mean longer fics and a little more tome to write. Option B might have higher participation, and would be low-pressure. Thoughts?

ETA: Some clarification for those who have asked. A prompt-based ficathon would be me setting up a community and having prompting and claiming sessions very soon, and then a few weeks to write, posted anonymously, whereas a comment ficathon would be like this one, where there is a single post that people reply to with prompts, and people who want to participate write a response to that prompt, usually short enough to fit in the comment field, and post it directly.

I'm actually really torn and didn't vote. I'm always drawn in by the idea of a comment fest and always excited to participate, but then when it rolls around I don't have that pressure to create the time and I get overwhelmed with life and somehow seem to miss it. Plus I stink at coming up with specific prompts. I think I'll just go with whatever majority rules! :P
