Announcing the Inaugural "100 Days of Color"

[moduno]

Stealing a page from the various seasonal celebratory type communities out there (spring_with_xan, summer_of_spike, etc.) we've decided that it would be fun do some rejoicing and celebrating of our own. We'd love you to share anything about your favorites (real life folk and/or  fictional characters of color from any and all media sources). You're welcome to contribute anything

I'm game!

[moduno]

So noted. Thank you so much for participating.

I hope I'm doing this right...

Claim date: Jan 22nd, 2010
Claimed character: Toshiko Sato (Torchwood)
Shared medium: Most likely fic, possibly with some art on the side

Claimed by: redsnake05 and used_songs (you didn't say if collaborations are permitted, so just let us know if this is a problem. Thanks!)

[moduno]

Yay Toshiko! Thank you so much for joining us.

Question, if you don't mind. Any ideas on communities I can pimp this out to?

[redsnake05]

Huzzah! Opal and I are pretty excited about this.

Um... I'm a mod at variety_is, which is an HP rarepair comm, and I'd be happy to post there for you (annoyingly, I just realised that we never took it off members-only posting) if you have a banner and a blurb. You could try hp_girlslash, whose mods I have found to be very helpful and accomodating in the past. Oh, and hp_misfitfics, which is a gen fic comm whose mod is awesome and supportive. I will certainly be posting about this on my journal.

[moduno]

Yay! Thank you for being so awesome. No banner yet. Let me see if I can get something done or trick persuade someone into creating one for me. *g*

Date: January 30
Character: I'd like to do something on Native American author Sherman Alexie.
Sharing: Either a rec list, character analysis, some fic...not sure yet...I just want to nab him and this date...not that I wouldn't be willing to share both. :))

[moduno]

Sounds great! I'm looking forward to reading whatever you decide to post.

[doyle_sb4]

This = fantastic idea. Now I just need to decide who to do... (my first thought was "Mickey Smith from Doctor Who, of course!" but there are at least a dozen characters from smaller fandoms that are tempting me).

[moduno]

Well, *nudge nudge* you're more than welcome to take on more than one day and character if your schedule permits.

[razycrandomgirl]

Oooooh! Good to know. ;)

[doyle_sb4]

...now there's a thought. I'll wait to see who gets snapped up, but initially I'll claim Mickey Smith from Doctor Who for December 13th.
