Challenge #199 ~ Celebration

Jul 15, 2009 00:39

Challenge #198 is now over. A big round of applause for our participants this week, bast2 ★, hamimifk ★★★, and shyath ★!

This week's challenge is: celebration.

Standard comm rules apply - 100 words (or no more than 250), any f/f pairing, any fandom. Due by midnight of next Tuesday (see the userinfo for complete rules). Also, for this challenge please remember to tag your entries 'challenge195' as well as 'author: yourname', 'fandom: yourfandom' and, if applicable, 'crossover'. Thank you!

And now that we have this week's challenge all sorted away, I have some community announcements! As you all may or may not be aware, International Day of Femslash this year falls on July 18th, a Saturday. And July 21/22, we have our 200th weekly challenge! We live in exciting times, guys.

Anyway, this means that both Drabble Tag 3.0 and our Periodic Table challenge have been going on for about a year. I don't want to close them up immediately, as it's sort of short notice, but I feel like two months should be plenty of time for people to finish up whatever they have plans for.

But I don't plan on waiting that long to start a new drabble cycle - I intend to get something going after our 200th weekly challenge is done, on the 29th. However, I'm not a hundred percent what new cycle prompts we should have - we could do astrology, with both the Eastern and Western prompts to get us up to 24 prompts, or we could do something like the major arcana of the tarot. Or we could do something a little more esoteric, like academic fields or something. If anyone has any suggestions, I would love to hear them! We generally target for a list with somewhere between 20-30 prompts. I'll put up a poll sometime in the next few weeks about all of these, and the community can vote.

And for the 200th Challenge itself, I have ideas! I'd like to have a prompt battle, like the Oxoniensis's Porn Battle or the F_T Porn Battle if you're unfamiliar with the concept. On July 18th I'll make a post requesting prompts - a fandom, a pairing, and one-word or short phrase prompt to give people general ideas (and possibly you'll get bonus internet points if your prompt is one of our past weekly challenges, since it will be remainder week). Early on July 23rd I'll put up a post with all the prompts, and for the next week we'll put out as many drabbles as we can! As always, though, any suggestions/ideas/complaints are always welcome.
