ADMIN POST: march amnesty
March Amnesty is in effect and will close 03/31/2011 regardless of an official post.
Anywhere Else Challenge
For this challenge, the majority of the story must take place anywhere OTHER than the usual series locations.
FORBIDDEN Locations: NCIS Headquarters, any of the characters' homes, DC metro area, Norfolk, Bethesda Naval Hospital, and most naval bases and ships/submarines.
BONUS Locations: You are strongly encouraged to set at least part of the story in your home town/region. If you do this, then it's permissable to use your local naval base, if there is one. Or bring them there on a case, or on vacation, or on a visit to family -- it's up to you.
Meetings Challenge
How did the various characters meet? If we know how they met (i.e., Gibbs and Kate), what were their first impressions of one another?
Other alternatives:
- Meeting someone new
- Meeting an informant
- Attending a staff or committee meeting
- A meeting of minds
- Meeting someone famous or otherwise admired
- AA or other support group meetings...?
The possibilities are endless!
Crossovers Challenge
Tony's from Baltimore. What if he worked with Pembleton and Bayliss before coming to NCIS? (Homicide: LotS) Did Gibbs serve in the Marines with Stabler? (L&O: SVU) Go back a couple season and ask Kate if she knew CJ Cregg or worked for President Bartlet (West Wing)? There's always the law enforcement fun of cross-jurisdictional purposes; what happens when CSI and NCIS get called in on the same case? Would NCIS find some sort of evidence SG1 needs and who would go challenge Gibbs for it?
Go forth and multiply universes!
Sins & Virtues Challenge
SINS & VIRTUES
Find your inspiration in any of the Seven Virtues:
Chastity (purity)
Moderation (self-restraint)
Generosity (vigilance)
Zeal (enthusiasm)
Meekness (composure)
Charity (giving)
Humility (humbleness)
Or pick one (or all!) of the Seven Deadly Sins and wallow in it:
Lust (inappropriate desire)
Gluttony (over-indulgence)
Greed (avarice)
Sloth (laziness)
Wrath (anger)
Envy (jealousy)
Pride (vanity)
And just think... there are seven principal characters, after all:
Gibbs, Tony, McGee, Ziva, Abby, Ducky, Shepard
Makes you think eh?
Image Challenge
The new challenge is something a little different. Instead of giving you a word or phrase, this time you get a picture. The image is behind the cut, to spare flists.
Edited to add: Your response doesn't have to match every element of the picture. You can use any single part or any combination of parts of the picture that inspires you.
NOTE: The original image is no longer available so I have substituted a new one. ~meekosan
Amnesty closes on March 31.
Always remember, subjects to your post are to be formatted as: [Title] by [author], and attach appropriate tags. An author tag will be created for you by a moderator at their earliest convienence.
