I'd definitely take the write-for-a-new-fandom challenge. Maybe that could be an option, along with a way-i-see-it cliche challenge?
*getting excited about this*
It would also populate our non-Tolkien archives here! Fun! |

Before I say I'm in, I need to ask: are we going to draw or choose fandoms? The only ones I'm familiar with enough to write anything are The Matrix and 300. So if I drew Buffy for example, well, you get the idea  _________________ With Beleg and... Thingol holding the rear, manfully. The Virtual Village still lives.

I vote choose because, heck, I couldn't do crap with most of the fandoms archived here. I'd certainly be willing to assign if someone's that well-versed/brave, but there's a difference between stretching your comfort zone and shooting yourself in the foot re: deadlines.  _________________ An Infinite Source of Pervy Wisdom. |

I second that motion. I'm not familiar with many of them either. I think we should stick to the ones we have some knowledge of. _________________ 'I wish life was not so short,' he thought. 'Languages take such a time, and so do all the things one wants to know about.'

I'm tempted to take the "write for a new fandom" challenge... although perhaps I should check to see if I can manage to write for *anything* first.  _________________ Take no prisoners. Though use handcuffs, by all means.

Well, since we're about to update the categories soon, if there's a fandom you'd like that isn't already here, let us know. We'll fix it up in time for the challenge.

I always get Torchwood and Deadwood mixed up, so the last couple posts were really confusing for a minute.  _________________ Take no prisoners. Though use handcuffs, by all means.

Okay, so removing my beta woes for a moment here:
*We like the idea of an 'open to all fandoms' challenge.
*We realize it might have to be a *very* broad topic to encompass fandoms as different as StarTrek, Buffy/Angel and LotR in one go.
*We realize choosing the fandom is probably safer than assigning one, just for the (remaining) sanity of the participants.
What else needs ironed out?
Time/schedule: I figured I'd submit the actual challenge in a week or two, so we can open registration by mid May for a 30 day June writing period (at the convenience of our challenge admin, of course). Then stories would go to betas 1st July and be posted the 14th or so. Sound good?
Topics: Uh.... yeah. I'll brainstorm on that, and anybody that has ideas to toss in the pot, PM/IM/Email me, and I'll do my darndest to get back to you. Since they've cut me to the quick on hours at work, I'm guessing that'll be easier than it was during cold/flu season.
What am I missing? Anyone? _________________ An Infinite Source of Pervy Wisdom. |
