I'm back with thoughts on: 12 Days of Xmas & Lorne... Moving forward & 2009
Heya boys & girls :) Bet you thought I was gone for good? Nope!
OK yes I’ve been hiding away in others lets not name the other fandoms, let's just say they center around Jensen Ackles, but enough of that cause unless I actually have a xover….. *g*
Even though SGA hasn’t been my main focus, I still have a major luv for SGA, but especially Lorne! I am also pleased that fandom wise ((for me anyways)) I’ve actually been productive. At the moment I have eight fics posted, & four that I am actively working on to post before ‘09. Two of the eight I did post here was Lorne slash centric. Point is I did write 2 new Lorne fics this year. Yes you can argue that it should have been more, or all of it Lorne, but sadly le muse is stubborn!
Anyhoo, I’m hoping we leave ’08 with a bang and carry the success into 2009.
So first up, a Xmas challenge… I’m skipping the usual holiday exchange because of the late date & many might already be tied up in other holiday/santa fic exchanges, so I came up with this, ready…
The idea is starting Dec 14th, and everyday until Christmas (12 days, get it *g*) something about Lorne is posted (fic, pic spams, art, icons, vids, comment porn, tree drabble/snippet, recs, etc…) Now here’s the deal, what I’m hoping… is that for each day someone signs up to lead that particular day and once they post for the day, others will post more to express their luv/participate etc…
Now before anyone freaks that they can’t do it, please read through the rules first because I’m trying to make this as easy and doable as possible.
Fic: from drabble to epic, minimum 100-word count. Genre: gen & slash. For any WIPs posting a new chapter on your claimed day is very acceptable ;) Art: Anything centered on Lorne, or on Kavan Icons: Lorne centered, or Lorne pairings of, & any Kavan icons, or Kavan as any of his other characters from other shows are all acceptable (note: minimum at least 3 Lorne icons within a large batch) Pic spam: Minimum of 5 pics, otherwise no limit. Vids: Ok this would be very ambitious, and very ♥ So any gen SGA (but has to have Lorne in it), or have us worship you with a Lorne centric vid :) Comment porn: start us off, and lets see how far we can go *nods* Tree drabble/snippet: Lets see I don’t really do these, but I believe it’s the last word of a given drabble/snip, that starts the next person who posts their in their comment. Again it’d be fun to see how far we can go. Recs: To give a list of fics people missed, need to be rediscovered. Recs can be across the board in regards to genre: gen, slash, xovers & het—yes het! As long as it is Lorne centric. Also will accept other Kavan character fics, and or any rps with Kavan centric) Rules for recs: 10 rec minimum Summary, and why you think its great Must list: genre/pairings/show/rating Linked to the fic! No locked/friends only, fic recs!
OK does that seem doable? Come, say it with me: Yes we can ;) heehee Ok, now what you need to do is sign up for a day, where you get to play leader for that day, officially poke people *eg* Pick something you’d love to do then just email me here: denyce36(at)yahoo(dot)com, pick a day (from Dec 14t to Dec 25th) –dates are first come first serve! ((Have 3 dates available that you’re willing to do, I’ll try to give you the first date available from those 3)) then from the list above what you think you’ll be able to do.
Second…
One of the challenges I signed up forlast year was 12in2008. The premise: to write and challenge yourself, where you pick/set/commit to the challenge. I picked any fandom/pairing fic with a minimum of 1000 word count. It kicked me to write, & finish fics on my hard-drive. As I mentioned I have 8 in the can, and have 4 more to finish up. I propose we do the same, except tweaked Lorne style ;) Meaning, you pick the minimum length, and commit to write 12 Lorne pieces for 2009. It can be any genre of (slash, gen, 3some of the m/m/f variety, & xover) You can sign up any at time throughout the year, but the commitment stays the same—this could be 12 drabbles, 12 epics, 12 snips of 500+ words etc… You can also decide on art, icons, vids etc… ((note icons: Challenge yourself set the amt ??, but have 12 separate posts that will fulfill your challenge))
What do you think??? Will set up a separate post, where you can sign up/challenge yourself for 2009
Third… accepting other thoughts/ideas for the upcoming year…
Ok let me know you’re here, want to be here, like/dislike the challenges above….
