No True Pair

Full Roundup - 2011 Holiday Challenge

How were your holidays? I hope they were awesome. :D

( Check out the excellent fanworks produced this December: )

...Apparently, the holiday season was all about...me drawing and misura writing?

But! you can still add a little cheer to the beginning of this year by posting something this month (I might do a couple more myself- I still have a lot left on my supposed 'short list' of prompts). So feel free! I'll be happy to tack more items onto this list.

And with it, posting time! (Never fear, there's still plenty of time to turn out great fics/art in December, right? ...right? ^^;)

So, as per our usual reminder, here's the posting format:

Please include as a minimum in each post, the following headers:
Title:
Author/Artist:
Fandom:
Pairing/characters:
Rating:
Warnings: [character death, rape/non-con, and shota/chan/loli-con, or otherwise at your choice]
Prompt/challenge you're answering:

Tagging policies: Each piece will get a tag for its fandom(s), its author/artist, and the challenge round that it answers.

New tags will be created as necessary, however feel free to add tags to your pieces if they're already in the tag list. That usually includes your author tag, and the '! 2010 holiday challenge' tag. No worries if you'd prefer not to worry about it; I'll be tagging every few days (err, when I remember too).

Feel free to start posting once it is Dec1st in your area. Anyway, I won't complain if you jump the gun a tiny bit.

Best of luck to everyone, and I hope we see a lot of excellent stories/art! Let's have a lovely holiday season full of fandom joy~

Oh look, it's your regularly scheduled mod. The naturally caffeinated one.

Sometimes something slips through the cracks! Ack! But, you still might be interested in looking over these late (but not nearly as late as I'm posting them...) prompts.

Pardon the issues.

( Additional FFVII, FFVIII, Suikoden V, & Suikoden Tierkreis prompts. )

All right. Got the last few fandoms added. Go check out the prompt list again if you have already once, because I added about six more character sets, and three new fandoms.

So, anyone see a prompt or two they just can't wait to write?

( December Seventeenth through Twenty Fourth )


( December Twenty-Fifth through Thirty-First )

We got a lot, and this isn't everyone, either. I'm still waiting for a few people to get back to me on fandoms, as they forgot to note what each fandom was. So I'll drop a note when I add those in, but for now, here is what we have so far.

These prompts are for both IJ and DW, and feel free to answer any of them. We will be posting a master list for both coms later. Look it over, and if you see anything out of place, let me know.

Lists are by the posting week, then fandom by alphabet. Crossovers are in the crossover section. Some things, like the Kingdom Hearts games and the Final Fantasy VII games are in one big group.

I hope we get lots of replies, and that you are all excited as I am about this round. There is no claiming required here, as I was asked about that. Just write what appeals to you.

Feel free to glee in the comments.

( December First through Eighth )

( December Ninth through Sixteenth )


Aaaaand, apparently, this post is too big for IJ. So the last two weeks will be in the next post.

Ah, thank you everyone for getting your prompts in so promptly (I should be booed off the modding stage for that...).

However! I nearly passed over the fact that one of the prompt is:

4 and 8, Any song or music, Prompter’s choice

Which means you, the prompter, get to pick something to insert here! Personally, I went a bit random myself because of some of the unusual pairings I got to pick for.

Anyway, if you've posted your prompts already (currently elanor_pam & sekiharatae) without adding something in, you can just leave another comment with the updated information. (Or you can tell me to pick songs for you and you'll get stuck with something eclectic/terrible)

Sorry for any confusion this may have caused.

Yeah, let's get excited! It's prompt release time!

If you haven't signed up yet, that's okay. This round, because you are writing for each other, we're giving more leeway in sign-ups. So you can still join in!

I'll put together all the lists signed up for thus far at IJ into the proper format, but if you haven't signed up yet, you can do your mods a favor now by getting your prompt list in order like so...

Edit: Of course, I can't handle the prompter's choice bit of music for you, so I suppose there's an argument for doing it yourself. [/end mod-fail]

Please use this format when inputting your prompts:

Character name (Full name of fandom) and Character name (Full name of fandom)

Example:
Cloud Strife (Final Fantasy VII) and Edward Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist)

This will help keep things a bit more organized and easier for people to read.

Now, the ( Prompts! )

Master prompt list will be posted on November 1st (by icedark_elf since I'll be away). It will include prompts from IJ and DW, so everyone has the widest range of prompts to pick from.

I hope everyone has fun! I'll be making a non-screened post for everyone to chat about various pairings and prompt ideas.

Here we go! 1st of October!

Sign up with a list of eight characters. You can have as many lists as you want. Make sure to spread the word as far and wide as you can. It's our holiday round. Let's see if we can get some new people in! Shameless pimping is always good, right? ^^;


Anyway, please feel free to keep chatting over on the fandoms round-up post.

Here we go! Want to see if there is an interest in the fandom you are in? Skim down through the comments and see if anyone else has brought it up. If they haven't, make a new comment thread with the name of the fandom as the subject.

(I just got us started with what I'd say are my favorites, but I have lots of other interests, so if you post something, I'll speak up there)

(FAQ: as usual, crossover lists will be fine too)

Additionally: The DW counterpart to this post is here, so silence here might not mean silence over there. You can try and tempt folks in both places of course. ^_^

The master list for the last round has been updated to include the entries added posted in September (although there's still a little of September left, so you can still sneak in).

However, I'm here (belatedly, on the heels of our co-mod) to announce the next round!

It's time for something new! We are going to have a holiday round!

It's a pretty simple thing, actually. You'll give your lists like normal, wait for prompts, mutter about prompts, and... (here's the different part) pick from other people's prompt to write.

That's right. You'll be writing from someone else's list.

Here is how it will work. I'm going to start a post after this so people can get together and talk about fandoms and such.

Signups will start on Oct 1st and last until Oct 20th. Then I'll post the prompts.

You will do what you usually do, replace numbers with names. Only then there is an extra step. You will post that list to a post that goes up with the prompts. My fellow mod and I shall do some organization, and then post a Master List on November 1st (uh, don't hold your breath on this one necessarily- icedark_elf will be around, but I'll be out of the country from Oct. 26th to Nov. 5th- feel free to bug me when I get back). It will be sorted by posting week and fandom, and you will pick prompts to write from there.

Yes, other people's prompts. No, no signup/claiming is required. Yes, we know that means that some prompts might get picked more than once, and some might not get picked at all.

And while we're not encouraging it, we are sure some will still pick up a prompt of their own to write, and we're okay with it.

So, here is the schedule!

Sep 30~onward: Chat about fandoms and such
Oct 1-20: Sign ups
Oct 21: Prompt release and character added prompts posted to mod post
Nov 1: Masterlist of prompts posted and writing may begin.
Dec 1: Posting of fics/art/icons starts

Questions, comments, etc? Please, post here.

I strongly encourage you to speak up about fandoms you're interested in writing/drawing for (and receiving something from), as well as inviting your friends to participate in this round to drum up more activity. It will be more fun that way, won't it? :D
