Mod Post: November Calendar, Year-Long Challenge, BLU2, etc.

If you want to get in on our Year-Long Challenge honoring a decade of Snape/Lupin, time is growing short because you have to make your first post to the community by the end of the month (tag is project: A Decade of SSRL).

In summary, for every person who completes the challenge with 12 posts, one each month, from now until the end of October, 2011, I will make a donation to the charity of her or his choice (within reason, see original post for details). Depending on how many "starts" I see this month, I will up the amount (originally $10) I will donate for your contributions.

This challenge is perfect for lurkers and those who would like to give back not only to fandom, but to a good cause. If you're looking for ideas for monthly posting, I suggest the following:

Discussion topic - post one topic each month
Poll - Something fun and Snape/Lupin-y
Rec - Focus on stories, drabbles, art, an era or plot, or leave yourself wide open to whatever catches your eye
Thematic lists - a list of stories or art built around a new theme each month - list does not have to be exhaustive.
Pictures - places, objects, scenes you create with action figures - whatever reminds you of Snape/Lupin
Icons - Text only or images.
Drabbles - 100 words for 12 months, not too hard!
1-sentence fics - Even less than a drabble
Memes - a set of questions for everyone to answer each month
Videos - There's many Snape/Lupin videos out there if you look, and if you run short, Snape-only or Remus-only could fill out your month.
Music - No need to offer downloads, just links to videos or online plays or just the name and title of a song and why it reminds you of SSRL
Candid Captions - Can feature both men or Snape and Lupin alone
Recipes - Foods that remind you of Snape/Lupin
Audio - If you can record it and post it, we'll listen
Puzzles - Our Funtime project proved that there's a host of puzzle you can create and post or link on the comm.
Fic Search - This would be like a game where you know the fic and describe it and we see who can find it first; a fun way to rec!
Essay - Your thoughts, brief or not, on any Snape, Lupin or Snupin subject
Random - Choose one of each of these or any other ideas that you might have and just post once a month!

Need help brainstorming an idea of your own? Post here or check out the community side bar and visit our Chat Room in the evenings. There's usually a few people there that would be glad to talk ideas with you. Just remember, your first post needs to be up by November 30.

If anyone is inclined to offer a Snape/Lupin image for snupin_santa icons, please contact me at the mod mail. You could offer existing art or new pieces. The same goes for any 2011 Desktop calendar images! Speaking of....

1024 wide

This lovely November calendar is brought to you by the letters

chazpure. Please be sure to leave her comments here!

Finally, as I will keep reminding, we are moving forward with a BLU2: Art Big Bang. While details will be fleshed out in January, we will be accepting multiple images from Artists. Writers will then volunteer to create a story for the submitted images. Artists will have about 1.5 months to work if they wait until the official announcement in January. Or, hint, hint, they could get started now.... ^_^

I hope everyone is getting excited for

snupin_santa! I know I am! Come on, December!

love, lore

I posted a fic earlier this month here. Is it okay if I retroactively tag it as part of the year-long challenge for this month's entry? I wasn't sure that I could commit to writing a fic each month, but I'm sure I could manage a combination of fics, recs, discussion, etc. I've been neglecting Snupin a bit because I was busy with other things, so I'm excited about the challenge, and as bk7brokemybrain said above, it seems like a good way to get the Snupiny juices flowing! ^_^

	Oh~that's a warm calendar~Love the flames and beautiful sky ❤ November, Thanksgiving :) Thank you for sharing~ And for the year-long challenge, though my English is not good enough to write story, I'll do my best to introduce interesting works from Chinese Fandom. Thank you for managing, Lore~ ^-^ Doris (Reply to this)

	Oh this is interesting, I wish I was a writer (a good one). I think about trying my hand at a mix of Rec, Thematic lists, Icons, perhaps Memes, Videos, Music and Puzzles. The "Fic Search" sounds interesting, too. I'm good at writing essays, sadly not in English. I'm not sure I have the time for this, but I'll try to work something out this week.

I'd love to do something, but I'm not so sure anymore about doing this. After checking this community, (I wasn't here very often in the last two years) especially the Snupinier Funtime Activity Book and the available thematic/rec lists, it seems that all my ideas are already done, and well, if I might add. It looks like any participation on my part would just be a repetition and therefore spamming.

And for the first month entry is not much time anymore...

I still would love to do it anyway.

Would it be ok, if I added a rec-list of non-magic AUs? It's already done by McKay on del.icio.us, though. (At least there was such a list, the link doesn't work for me.)

	No, there's no rec list of AUs. Sounds like you could make a good start with that. :) Good luck, and let me know if you need anything. HUGS love, lore (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, I didn't reply... Sorry, for that. I meant to thank you for your help. (Reply to this) (Parent)
