Yes I’m still about. Won’t go into where or why I’ve been hiding, but duly *hangs head in shame* But I’d like to start 2008 in better accord so I created monthly challenges to carry throughout 2008, and instead of posting them once a month cause yeah I sometimes have a difficult time with even the simplest tasks—I’m going to post ALL of them at once. This will allow anyone on list to poke and remind people of said challenges if Mod reinstates head in ass nods
In all for every month there are 12 separate fic challenges, and 4 quarterly challenges. Note: Art, icons & picspams (ah Lorne centered obviously!) to inspire, or a given month/challenge where you were inspired are always WELCOMED & ENCOURAGED!!
OK here they are; I seriously hope more than a few challenges inspire—Much LUV! &
Happy 2008
12 challenges & 4 quarterly challenges: Listed for each month. Pick & choice your flavor each month… Clichés/Crack: everything you secretly love & hate to read only this time centered on—Major Evan Lorne Spot light pairing: Lorne and ? (Sheppard, McKay, Beckett, Dex, Parrish, Kavanagh, Zelenka) pick that months pairing & write something, or be creative with icons/art, or a pic spam centered on both of those characters selected for the month. Drabble: word/theme/idea prompt in 50, 75, or 100 exact words (state word count in header) Ficlet: word/theme/idea prompt in 250, 500, or 700 words (state word count in header) PoRne: PWP (porn without plot, duh!) Kink: spicier side of the bedroom from mild to all out extreme hoTT! AU: With a stargate: Things didn't happen like we know, but there's a Stargate and/or Atlantis like we know them in these worlds—whether you incorporate stargate into your fic or not. AU-AR: No stargate: HS, College, military, or historical, scifi/fantasy worlds: vampire/werewolves etc... Word prompt: can be any length (drabble to epic) One line: must start be the first sentence or the last sentence of your piece Five Times: Can also be fives vs one against the five (the one against the 5 if not noted in the challenge listed for that particular month is authors choice) Holidays: any length centered on the holiday theme & Lorne. Quarterly Challenges: 4 different theme challenges spread throughout the year. Each 10, 000 word minimum due on a specific date (3 months are given for each challenge)
Please state Month & specific challenge within the header ie: Title: Lorne Baby Author: Me Fandom: SGA Pairing: Lorne/Cameron Rating: teen Disclaimer: Characters not mine, no profit, etc… Warnings: none Challenges: Slashing_Lorne 08 challenges (Month: Nov. Ficlet: 250, pairing: Cameron, holiday)
Please do NOT add tags yourself. It’ll be a slow process, but I’d like to re-do tags to make it easier to find various fics.
Yes, you may mix/match challenges within a particular month, but please don’t mix a June challenge with a March challenge—Write it, but only claim pick/one month to state in your header. Also if it’s February, but you’ve read ahead & your muse pokes you about a June challenge, or an October challenge—Yes! You may write and post it early (though remember to state the month the challenge is issued in the header!)—Only Quarterly challenges have specific deadlines. Though hopefully there are enough challenges with various lengths to peak your interest to write & post within that month.
Art, icons & picspams (ah Lorne centered obviously!) to inspire, or a given month/challenge/fic where you were inspired are always WELCOMED & ENCOURAGED!!
