It's midnight EST which means... SWEEPS WEEK BEGINS!!!
I’m BAAAACK!!!
Hey there everyone! It’s kag523 - returning to drive the No_Takebacks bus after a hiatus of six months. (That’s right, peeps. The No-Takebacks Oscars took place exactly six months ago! I’ve been sadly negligent about volunteering since then, so I’m making up for it this week.) Today I’m back in fine, sassy form to kick of a new and FABULOUS event in the K/L fandom.
I’m officially declaring this week:
This means that every day you will get
- A new topic to discuss / rant / argue / make merry with
- A new (television-focused) vid to enjoy
- A new challenge for you to participate in
And in return, I will with reward your participation with KAG523 MANIPS AND FABULOUS CRACKY OBJET’S D’ART! (More about this later...)
Today we arrive at the quintessential 1990’s television show: Friends. (Surprising how HAPPY BSG looks if you crank up the saturation and speed up the film.) Given that our favourite Pilots live amongst a crew of hundreds, I’d assume that many of their secrets would be ANYTHING but! And I figure it’s time to let out those not-so-secret goings-on hidden inside the storage locker on C-Level.
Your task today is to:
- EXPOSE A SECRET (for Lee or Kara or *cough* both)
- Write this secret from the point of view of another character on BSG. (ie: Cally would have the inside track on what goes on AFTER they climb out of their vipers whereas Hotdog knows EXACTLY whose boots were outside the pilots bunkroom last shift.)
- While simple facts are certainly fine, give a try with something creative. These can be in ANY FORMAT you’d like. Crack!fic encouraged! Perhaps you could include messages relayed between the knuckledraggers on the hangar deck, a name and number that Baltar discovers scratched into the stall in the head, Dee’s overheard headset conversations, Adama’s discovery of a long-lost phone message on his personal comm link, Post Secrets postcards that keep appearing on the memorial wall, or (as I might be doing... depending on the participation today) damning photographic evidence. Your imagination is the limit!
- When you’ve tossed in your two cents, come on back to comment / argue / extend / respond to other people’s comments. This is our fandom, people. LET’S ROCK THIS SHIP!
THE FANDOM CHALLENGE!
For EVERY 50 comments on the No_Takebacks comm in the next 24 hours, I will create a fabulously cracky manip of one of the not-really-so-randomly selected secrets. (To a maxiumum of five... cause honestly? I’ll have to eat or sleep at some point.) That’s right peeps... you want manips from me? I’M OFFERING! And I get to choose which ones so make them GOOD! But the deadline is midnight Monday, so get your commentary and discussion going.
SWEEPS WEEK HAS BEGUN!
