And now...the Megamind Advent Calendar (of Evil)!
Okay, since I received at least some interest, I thought I'd go ahead with this Holiday Challenge and see how it goes! The time to fill prompts is getting smaller as the days go on, so I wanted people to have enough time to get inspired and complete their desired fanworks. And hey, even if we don't get enough to fill the entire calendar of December, there are certain to be at least a few wonderful bits to make the end of 2012 Mega-awesome!
Here's how it will go . . .
The Rules (of Evil)...
Please comment to this post with things that you would like to see, to read, or generally fun ideas that you think the Fandom would enjoy.
I might suggest, for example -
- a short story with some Megs/Roxanne pre-movie UST
- some cute Minion icons
- a picture of a scene from (insert fic here) by (insert author here).
(Feel free to request for your own story, if you've always wanted some fanart!)
- a vid for the song "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC
- something posted on the kinkmeme that hasn't yet been filled
- a "filksong" with lyrics written by Music Man
You could also give a prompt with a line from a song, a quote, a picture . . . anything for inspiration. For example -
- Megs and Minion - "Oops, I Did it Again"
- "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." (Ralph Waldo Emerson)
- a 100-word drabble inspired by this picture
Anything goes!
Deadlines and Other Miscellany (of Evil)...
* I will be screening the comments to this post so the prompts are a surprise! I'll un-screen them once the challenge is over so everyone can see who asked for what!
* I'd really like to have the master list of prompts with corresponding dates in December posted by the end of this week. (Sunday) That way, people can start thinking about what they might like to do. But since this is the first time we're doing this sort of thing (and we are a very easy-going fandom), I'm going to be pretty laid back about this challenge, too. If anyone submits a prompt after-the-fact, I'm sure I'll find somewhere to squeeze it in!
* If you make a request . . . or five . . . or ten, that's fine! There is no obligation to *do* anything, but it would definitely be nice if the people who make requests also joined in to fill them. That way we should have lots of fandom goodness for all the days leading up to Christmas!
* And if you miss a posting deadline, it's the Boot-Wheel of Death for you! no big deal! Try to ball-park it if you can. The important thing is HAVE FUN! ( . . . Or else.)

The Opinion Poll (of Evil)...
There is one thing I really would like everyone's opinion on when it comes to filling the prompts. Which would most of you prefer?
Poll Advent Calendar Opinion Poll
I don't want anyone to be sad if their prompts aren't used, but I don't want anyone to be stressed over deadlines either. So this part is totally up to you, guys. Let me know!

Any questions - anything not clear? Drop me a comment! :)
Now be free, my beautiful doves! Prompt away!
