It seems like ages since we've had a challenge on here, so I thought it the perfect time to announce the Christmas wish-list. This will be an open challenge, which means no signing up or assigned stories, but rather a chance to fulfil someone else's Christmas wish and make a lot of other people happy in the process.
Obviously, as there are no assignments, there is no guarantee that one of your stories will be chosen, but you'll still get to enjoy other people's gifts, so pressies all around.
So, here's how it works:
In a comment to this post you can list up to five Christmas wishes (just one wish comment per person so give it some thought before you decide); these can be in the form of stories, graphics or videos. You should include the following information: fandom, pairing/character, format (if you're not requesting a story) and a one sentence synopsis. As an example:
Criminal Minds
Emily/JJ
The prospect of spending another Christmas alone prompts Emily to conquer her fears and approach JJ.
CSI
Sofia Curtis
Wallpaper
The many faces of Sofia
Murder in Suburbia
Ash/Scribbs
Music Video
Song: 'Pretend this is a song title' by some singer
Once all the wishes have been collected I will post the Christmas wish-list to the community and those wishing to take part can peruse the list and choose the wish or wishes they'd like to give. Then, once the story, graphic or video is complete, it should be posted to the community with the words: Christmas wish-list and the recipient's name in the header information.
All entries should be posted between the date the Christmas wish-list is posted (in approximately one week) and the end of December. Multiple posts are, of course, more than welcome and I'm sure that no one will mind if more than one person answers a particular wish. This is your chance to spread a little Christmas cheer around the femslash community.
Wishes are not limited to authors, so if you've got an idea (brief) that you'd like to see made a reality, try listing it here.
