It has come to my attention that picking_losers is kinda dead... much like Lamb. Only without a bat involved.

angel_grace and I tried to keep things alive with fic challenges earlier this summer, but as interest waned with each one, we dropped the concept entirely. Still, I'm sure there's some Lamb love out there somewhere ( Read more... )

Yes, I'm making a mod announcement at ass o'clock in the morning, but that's what happens when I come home after a long day of flying and airport hell and have to delete fic that does not meet picking_losers standards ( Read more... )

Midnight, May 1st, 2007, is the deadline for picking_losers' April Showers Challenge, so if you haven't yet broken out the Slip 'n' Slide for Lamb and Veronica, you've got just a few more days to do it.

There ARE shiny awards banners waiting to be won, if that sort of thing provides incentive.

Come on, folks, don't make me beg!

Although response to our March Out Like a Lamb challenge was limited, we still got some fantastic fic out of it. Thanks so much to everyone who contributed!

It's been x amount of hours, West Coast airings of 1.14, "Mars, Bars," are finished, and while angel_grace and I do encourage tactful spoilerlessness, I thought it was only fair to throw up a little post mourning the death of any potential for canonical Lamb/Veronica. There's always fic, there's always AUs, but ah, Don and Veronica, we hardly knew ye ( Read more... )

Hi, all.

I've been a bad moderator, but I thought I would toss up this challenge reminder, just in case anyone has a hankering to do it.

Battlestar GaLambtica? Lamb and the Doctor Who Daleks? Lamb, R2 and Threepio walk into the Mos Eisley cantina and the bartender says "We don't serve your kind here"? (R2 and Threepio reply, "But what if we ( Read more... )

I mulled it over for a solid week, trashed a few horrendous banners, and finally found a picture of Battlestar Galactica's Tricia Helfer (Six, my favorite faux-bot) that I was able to manip with our not-so-dear Sheriff Lamb in a satisfactory manner. It's a sign from the Cylon Gods, People. So I hope that my co-mod doesn't mind if I issue picking_losers' first ( Read more... )
