Mod Post: Crack challenge and other doin's

Add to Memories Tell a Friend

Well, real life has done its best to mess me up, so let me make this quick. Our challenge this month:

CRACK


Not just humour, but crack fic. Give us your most outlandish, silly, funny creative works possible and make your fellow members spit drinks out their noses. Any creative pursuit is welcome for this challenge, including drabbles, art, stories, a list of Snupin crack fics, crack recs, photomanips, colour bars, paper dolls, etc. etc. etc.

An example of a crack prompt, which is up for grabs by as many people as want to try it, is under the cut - suggested by the Snupin Meetup at Azkatraz )

Perhaps something in the Snupin Funtime Activity Book can give even our lurkers a base from which to create crack. Speaking of the book, if you haven't already, go check it out. It wouldn't have been compiled if the lovely [info]drusillas_rain hadn't stepped in and take up the reins on it, so be sure to give her extra big kudos for it if you haven't already.

All Crack Month Challenge pieces are due by September 30, although we are always happy to add late entries to existing master-lists.

Our September Desktop calendar art is by [info]zephre. It looks lovely on my desktop and I hope it does on yours, too. Click the calendar image to go to the page for downloads.

Also, tis the season for frantic writing on too many exchanges, although I hope [info]snupin_santa is close to your hearts. Anyone who is writing a fic set in 2009 might want to have the 2009 Full Moons calendar by [info]chazpure on her desktop for easy reference. Also works for the BPAL addicted!

Artists: I will be opening a new round of Calendar pages for 2010 this month. If you're interested, please reply here. We'll probably work off the LJ and IJ Snupin_art and Snupin communities, so be prepared to join and watch those communities if you want in.

Many thanks to McKay ([info]scribbulus_ink) for watching over the community and doing so much wonderful community work and organization while I tried (and failed) to get my fandom act together. Well, ok, I do have the start of a personal web site, but it's nowhere near debuting yet; at least I didn't waste the entire month(?). Speaking of, I believe the Zine will land this month as well, not quite a month late, which is good, right? Right? Bueller?

Anyway, you all should give McKay love and hugs whenever you can. I know she's not cuddly on the outside, and we won't speculate on her mushy insides (~_^), but she does tolerate thanks in all forms and richly deserves them.

In the Great Fandom Fic Drought of '09 (because of exchange writing, natch), I encourage you to revisit our Snape/Lupin Big Bang - Snupin: Bigger, Longer and Uncut. The fics are chaptered, so there's no need to feel like you have to read a novella all in one go.

Just remember, if you read, let the authors and artists know. They worked very hard on it, and the response has been low, probably because Summer was just so wonderfully Summer this year! But now it's Fall, and the posting rate is going to drop off (omg has it been 4 days since any post here??), so there's time now to BLU.


*****
I have my ducks in place so now I can officially tease you further with the fact that we WILL be running a recipe challenge either in October or November (or both), with an eye toward compiling the entries into a downloadable booklet. This will be for everyone, so be thinking of the recipes that remind you of Snupin in general, or a story or fic or other creative pursuit.

*****
I've been remiss in reminding you that we do share Snupin Sounds on an ongoing basis. More information is here. If you're looking for inspiration while working on Snupin projects, look no further!


If I forgot to pimp something, let me know! *HUGS COMMUNITY* I missed you guys so much! And now be prepared to be patient while I untangle Real Life. ~_^

love, lore
