Challenge Time!
So our very first community challenge idea will now be put forth for feedback.

I. Word Count: You'll have two options -
May deadline - Writers: at least 1,000 to 5,000 words; Artists: single art works
August deadline - at least 10,000 to 40,000 words (Big-Bang Style); Artists: multi-part art works (doujin, anyone?)

II. Choose Your Own Adventure Challenge Round. You sign up for a day in May or August, with your choice of fandom and pairing, and produce fic or art for that day's genre with your chosen characters. Genres: Romance, Angst, Action/Adventure, AU, Kink, Cliché. A list of prompts will be provided, but they will be optional, in case you need a little direction to get you going.

III. Artists and Writers are welcome to partner up and collaborate on an epic work of love.

IV. I'll ask each participant to list their top three choices of posting dates in May and/or August. You may repeat someone else's pairing choice, but please don't double up on days until the entire month is taken -- ideally what we want here is two solid months where there's something new to look forward to in the community every day. For the veterans, think back to our very first comm. challenge.


Huge thanks go out to the lovely laylah who helped me brainstorm and get these rambling thoughts of mine down on paper.


Thoughts? Concerns?


ETA: Oh and if there are any fanmixers out there who'd like to get in on the action and provide our writers/artists with some more inspiration or just cheer them on, I'll be opening up a sign-up post once the challenge is under way. Details TBA.
