Team Challenge Round 8 winner & Round 9 prompt Original poster: overlithe
We've added up the points for Round 8 of the Team Challenge (don't forget you can sign up for the Challenge at any time by clicking on the link provided), checked and rechecked the tallies and we are now ready to announce the winner.
So, for Round 8 of Knight vs Anarchy 2009, the winner is:
Team Anarchy with 62 points
And Team Knight scored 56 points.
The MVPs for each team were
loony_lucifer, who scored 24 points for Team Anarchy
thanks_to_god, who scored 29 points for Team Knight
Congratulations, you two! chosenfire28 will be making some banners to reward you for all your hard work and we'll be posting those as soon as they're done, along with the MVP banners for round 7.
Those who were tallying points at home will know how amazing this round was: Team Knight was way in the lead from the start, but in the last few days of the competition the race heated up and Team Anarchy squeezed into the lead in the last few hours of the competition. I hope we'll all be able to make the next round every bit as productive and exciting.
I will be posting a master list of all the works submitted for round 8 later on.

Now it's time for Round 9 to start. This round will last until 11:59pm PDT on May 22nd and the prompt is:
Carve your name into my arm.
--Every Me and Every You (Placebo)
The works don't have to include the exact wording of the prompt, which is meant to serve as inspiration. How you interpret it is entirely up to you.
Rules for PostingPlease observe the following rules when posting:
(1) Use the following subject header for your posts: Team [Knight/Anarchy] - Round [x] - Title [or type of work]
For instance, if you're on Team Anarchy and made some icons, your subject header would be Team Anarchy - Round 9 - Icons
(2) Please tag your entries with the tags we've created for the Team Challenge. These are:
knight vs anarchy round 9 (for all entries)
team anarchy
team knight
Obviously, use only the appropriate team tag for your entry.
(3) Fanfic must be at least 500 words in length and must include the following header:
Title:
Author:
Prompt: (copy the wording of the prompt here)
Word count:
Disclaimer: (if you'd like, you can use the general disclaimer in the community's info page)
Rating:
Warnings: (if any)
You can include any other information you'd like, eg, summaries and author's notes. Please put the text of the fic under an LJ-cut.
It's very important that you include a word count, as points for fanfic are based on word count, and including your own word count saves us a great deal of work.
Do not include any headers, notes, etc in your word count, only the actual text of the story itself. Also, please make sure you only count the number of words in the fic
after you've finished any editing, as this makes life much easier for us mods.
Batman and the Joker don't have to be physically present in your story, but the story has to include references to both characters and the dynamic between them.
(4) Art and icons don't need a header, but please include the prompt wording in your post, and label adult/NSFW material accordingly. All art larger than 200x200 pixels must be placed under an LJ cut, and any images that are NSFW must be placed under an LJ cut regardless of size.
(5) Please don't use anything that's already been publicly posted before the challenge (including in your personal LJ). All works submitted for the challenge should have been finished within the challenge's time frame. (However, it's fine to continue something you started before the challenge.)

Banners/Headers/Wallpapers: 1 point per piece, 0.5 points for different versions of the same image (eg, if you make a wallpaper and then resize it to make a header but make no further alterations, it's 1 point for the wallpaper and 0.5 points for the header)

Hope you all enjoy this round and if you have any questions, comments, etc, please post them here or contact us via e-mail (our addresses are in the community's info page) or LJ PM. Good luck, everyone!
Also, for those who've been wondering if the Team Challenge will continue after round number 10, yes, we are planning on continuing the challenge if there's sufficient interest from the community.
