Poll results and your next challenge!
Poll results are in! Thank very much to everyone who voted and chimed in with your opinions and ideas. After talking it over, your mods have decided that we're going do what a few of you suggested and switch back and forth between challenge types. We will be alternating between rounds with voting to pick a winner on public entries and non-voting rounds, where everyone gets a participation prize. We may also take the occasional break from those two in order to try out some of the other ideas you had.
For this month, we're going to have our first free-for-all (no voting) round. Everyone who gets fic or art done in the allotted month gets their submission included in the roundup post and a participation banner.
With that, your theme for this month:
Grab Bag Round!
This is your chance to go back and hit up those challenges that sounded fun but you just didn't have time to complete. Dust off those half-finished stories or start something new, just pick a previous challenge and have at! Make sure to say which round you're working off of when you post your entry.
Standard challenge rules apply, no matter which challenge you pick. That means previously anon entry rounds can have OCs and the like this time.
Here's a list of all the previous challenges, so you don't have to go digging:
Natural Disasters
Awkward Moments
Threesomes
Strange Mating Rituals
Lost in Translation
Zombies
Firsts
Medical Examinations
Halloween Movie Crossover
Winter Fun
Lovers and Jealousy
Spring Fever
Beach Party Threesome
You know the rules by now, but they're under this handy cut just in case.
Fic: 500+ words. Legible. Pleese due spelchick. :P
Art: try to give us something more than stick figures, lol. Sketches are good, with or without color. Digital art is fun too.
In the spirit of the community, it MUST involve a human and a bot interacting in the starring 'role'.
Het and slash are both fine
As are all universes/continuities
OC's are allowed
Use appropriate warnings
Your stuff can be gen and tame enough to show to your five-year-old, or it can be as explicitly "look away right now, child!" as you like.
You can submit something previously written, but we'd love to see something new from you as well
You've got one month! Entries must be posted by Thursday, August 25th (or early Friday, you know how we roll) in order to receive a participation banner. Go go go!
