International Fuzzy Bathrobe Day Challenge!
FAQ (Please Read. It has changed a bit since last time!)
Q. WHY?
A. Because bathrobes are awesome and fuzzy and come in all shapes and sizes and they are a limitless garment of almost nekkedness! IS THERE A BETTER ARTICLE OF CLOTHING?
Q. Is it really International Fuzzy Bathrobe Day!?
A. Better question: Terrycloth or silk?
Q. How does one participate?
A. Any fandom, any pairing and any robe length/color/fabric! Comment fic here with your fandom and other pertinent info in the subject line for easy perusal!
NOTE: PLEASE use the subject lines. Explanation: This is not just for those reading, but for me. As I will be updating the post regularly, sorting through all of the replies takes time and giving it a subject line with your pairing and fandom helps me know when a new story has been posted. Otherwise I simply get a lot of "reply to post" emails. If you check the last challenge, you'll see there's more than 700 replies, many of which came in during the original challenge. As the word spreads to more and more fandoms I hope that count goes up, please make it easier for me to keep track. *Also, with our new expanded media, if it's anything other than the written word, please make note. Thank you for helping out! p.s. If you are in an active canon fandom, please note spoilers in the subject line as well!
Q. Are there any other rules?
A. Other than snuggly warmth (or not, depending on the material)? I'd like to encourage bed head, but it's not a must.
Q. When?
A. From now till Monday morning! Yes, yes, more than a day. Shut up. Specifically, until I wake up enough to call an end to the challenge. I figure this gives all the time zones plenty of chances. Considering this mod is currently on lots of shiny prescription meds, you might have longer than usual. ;)
Q. Where?
A. Here please! So this entry can become a big pile of comfy laundry.. Please wait till Monday to post to your own LJs.
Q. I cannot write or I do not have time but I wish to help, what do I do?
A. Pimp this post! If you're looking for a fandom that hasn't been pimped to specifically, check out this post which has claimed fandoms/comms in the comments and a list of suggested fandoms (that haven't been taken as of the last update) in the post itself.
*Q: But oh modly one! I am not a writer and I have pimped this in my jounal but I STILL FEEL A NEED TO DISPLAY MY LOVE OF FUZZY BATHROBES.
A: Funny you should complain, this challenge has expanded, we now accept.anything you might think of as 'creative fannish output'. I know that sounds like a broad term. So I'll clarify. Anything that resembles stories (including ficlets or drabbles), graphics (including photomanips, drawings, icons, etc.) and vids and multimedia. Things of that nature. What we're not looking for are things resembling meta, essays and straight screencaps and video clips. Note to pimpers: Please don't forget to mention this part!
For writers:
Q. So what sort of stories would keep me on topic?
A. I'm not going to restrict you too hard. Anything that qualifies as a bathrobe. Short, long, silk, terry, etc. Be creative. Put Dean Winchester in an orange mohair robe. Put John Sheppard into (and out of, really, it's okay) a silk kimono. Really, just make sure the article of clothing is in there somewhere.
