Jan 05, 2024 08:32

It's time to vote for the seven long challenges we'll run between 15th Jan and the end of November!

THE POLLI'd love to see some of the less popular ones given a go this year, just for something different, but you, the voters, will help make that decision. If you can, vote for one you haven't seen in a while, and three others, be they common or ( Read more... )

First: I can host a long challenge June 1st to July 15th.

Is the Scenes challenge like when you did Scenes from a Hat for a weekend challenge?

Great, that would be awesome!

Yes, that's it exactly. And it's okay to ressurect old scenes from years ago too, so if old entries help, then use them!

In terms of date ranges, I could do challenges four, five, and seven. So... June start, July start or October start! I could run something or chip in, whatever is preferred.

What's the calendar challenge please?

Hi, it's a graphic challenge whereby people make a page for a calendar (usually for the following year). The host can decide on theme/s for calendar/s and offer up a template for the date part, and participants can choose to fill a page or pages accordingly.

Of course it depends how many participants take part and if there's enough interest to fill a calendar or two, but in the past we had a couple of gorgeous fandom calendars anyone could download out of the challenge, but we did have more graphics makers then!

However, people who are interested shouldn't let that put them off, even if they're not expert graphic makers! I took part and I am very amateur on that front! Had a lot of fun making a page for a Lost calendar and a page for The Following in a multi-fandom one.

I could help run a challenge if I'm needed but I'd be unavailable for helping the challenge in May.

I can run the first challenge if you like!!

Obviously, I'm more familiar with cross pairings and 5+1 so that would help me out massively, but I'm adaptable!!

Email me on skargasm at gmail dot com if this works for you!

Oh! That would be fantastic. THANK YOU.

I actually have a five way tie for the four places after the clear top three, so I'm trying to drum up a few more votes, but if all else fails I'll drop drabble/icon, which we had last year, and go with the other four, one of which is crossovers, which we also had last year, but since you say this is one you'd be more comfortable with (at least I think this is what you mean by 'cross pairings'?), I'll go go with that.

Give me 24 more hours and if the vote doesn't increase, it's definitely crossovers (unless you meant 'rare pairs', in which case we may have to rethink things! LOL).

Cheers, I really appreciate this, as I was beginning to think I'd have to juggle it in myself somehow! ;-)

EDIT: You can definitely have Crossovers, if that's what you were thinking. Please go ahead and kick us off on the 15th! Run it however you like! ;-) I'll email you too.
