New Challenge - details later!

Firstly, a roundup of recent fandom activity on InsaneJournal. qaf_drabbles is as busy as ever. There was a hard-fought battle for challenge #143 - kiss, with Daphne the winner. Challenge #144 - four words (burn, ease, rug, glass) seems to have been particularly inspirational (and you may need a fan when reading the entries), and the last challenge #145 - was won by Emmett. New prompt #146 is "Family". And do go back to read the 37 days of Gusmas entries if you missed those (here)

If you're a writer stuck for ideas and inspiration, why not take a look at qaf_prompts. Recent ideas include Fathers and Sons, and Under the stars of Pittsburgh. And new prompts are always welcome.

qaf_marathons is continuing with the European-timed marathons, last Sunday's episode 112 is still open for comments. Keep an eye on the comm for news of episode 113. All are welcome, if 8pm CET/2pm East Coast/11am West Coast is good for you, come and join in!!

The holiday season wouldn't be complete without the goodies at qaf_giftxchnge. And the best thing is that we can all get to enjoy the gifts!

NEW COMM! icon_finder NEW COMM!
For that icon you just can't find. For that episode you just don't have an icon to illustrate. Need an icon that shows your mood, Brian's wonderful biceps, or just how young Justin looks in 101? No problem - icon_finder is here!

For anyone new to InsaneJournal, qaf_comingout is THE place to start. Newbies can be sure of a welcome, plenty of links, and a helping hand if the oddities of a new journal seem overwhelming.

From new to......maybe not so new but who cares when the fic is this good? qaf_retread always has the best recommendations when you're searching for that little something to read. How about fic from eleveninches or Rhiannonhero? Or a gem by not_yet_defined?


qaf_coffeeclub recently hosted the Second Great Fucking Debate. Go read the debate and cast YOUR vote!

The Endings and Beginnings Contest recently hosted at qaf_scavenger has a beautiful wallpaper, a "hurts so good" Justin POV reunion vid, and fic to die for. Go check them out, and don't forget to leave the author/artist some ♥
