Upcoming Challenge

[alby-mangroves.livejournal.com]

Dear people of Merlin RPFdom, what say you to a little challenge?

Something to see the year out with a bang. A little bang, perhaps? OH, I KNOW, A MINI BANG!



How about a 2000 minimum word count? Perhaps the possibility of optional collaborations between writers and artists?

Would you be in? Consider this post an expression of interest - let me know in the comments if this is something you'd like to participate in or would like to see happen. This is not an official sign-up post, but just a little poke to gauge interest.

Ideally I'd love to run it from September, closing to a December posting date.

SO HOW ABOUT IT GUYS, Y/FY?

Comments

Hell yeah! As an avid reader I say yay, and if the spirit moves (for 2000 words or so) I may even post something if this gets off the ground.

[alby-mangroves.livejournal.com]

That would be amazing!!! It will definitely happen, I figure that 2K is quite achievable and not scary :D

[mssdare.livejournal.com]

FY!

2K sounds do-able! And time schedule too! And YES. God yes to more Brolin, I miss them like stupid.

Count me in! :)

[alby-mangroves.livejournal.com]

Yeah. More ficcy goodness is definitely required, stat!
I'm still holding out for the unclaimed Eoin/Rupert prompt I posted in untold_legends...

[mssdare.livejournal.com]

Oh pls yes Epin/Rupert pls yes!

Also - I know this won't be a popular wish but... Colin/Bradley/Georgia? I have a thing for boy/boy/girl 3somes

[bunnysworld.livejournal.com]

There is not enough Eoin/Rupert in this world!!!!!!!!

Your adoring bag-over-the-head friend says YES FUCK YES!

How about a 2000 minimum word count? Perhaps the possibility of optional collaborations between writers and artists?

Or even between writers and writers? *looks innocent*

[alby-mangroves.livejournal.com]

YES THAT! OMFG YES.

Also, anon contributions are welcomed. Just in case I hadn't made that clear in the past or there was any concern there.

COME AT ME ANON ♥

*rushes* WATCH OUT FOR PAPERCUTS ON YOUR THIGHS! :-D

Seriously though, thank you for a) being so lovely and b) being so welcoming to anons!

I've never written RPF before (unless you count that little RPF ficlet I wrote for bunnysworld's birthday, but I'd be willing to give this a shot once ACBB is over. : )

[alby-mangroves.livejournal.com]

OH YES PLEASE!! That would be absolutely amazing!
ACBB and pornathon are just two reasons why I haven't done anything here for a couple of months. It was really shaping up to be a busy time. But as it's about to calm down again it seemed like the right time to put the feelers out. So glad you're interested!

♥

[bunnysworld.livejournal.com]

That was a great one. You definitely need to write more!

[agirlnamedtruth.livejournal.com]

I've never written RPF before but there were a few prompts I've seen that spiked my interest. So consider this a "maybe, if I have the balls to try something new" comment ;)

[alby-mangroves.livejournal.com]

O__O!!! That is AWESOME. For the record, if your contribution is based on a prompt on the KMM or elsewhere, I have absolutely no problem with that! Perhaps we should have some promp-sharing here too? Hmm.

[agirlnamedtruth.livejournal.com]

Ack I had a long comment typed out and my phone ate it D:

Long and short of it was that'd be awesome, I love prompt posts so much, they make me want to write all the things!

And just to check - absolutely shameless porn without plot is allowed, right? Because that's pretty much the only swing set in my playground ;)

[alby-mangroves.livejournal.com]

YOU SWING SET IS CORRECT, OMG ♥

[agirlnamedtruth.livejournal.com]

*mans up* ok, I have a prompt, hopefully I have time for a 2k minimum, I am ready to do this thing!

Any limit on when we can start planning/writing and will there be an official sign up post I'll need to keep an eye out for?

(And as a PS this is the first time I've done something entirely new in years so congrats for popping that cherry :P)

[giselleslash.livejournal.com]

GDI, YOU EVIL TEMPTRESS.

EVILLLLL.

[alby-mangroves.livejournal.com]

Put you down for 2?

[giselleslash.livejournal.com]

[matchboximpala.livejournal.com]

I'd be happy to collaborate on art.

[alby-mangroves.livejournal.com]

FANTASTIC NEWS! <3

[arthurmerlinfan.livejournal.com]

This is absolutely a must !! My own writing/drawing talents are completely absent, but I'd really LOVE to watch others' RPF entries, hell, even can't wait for it!!! <3

[alby-mangroves.livejournal.com]

Cheering, encouraging and enabling are much sought after talents around these parts! Fangirl highfive o/\o

[mrs-leary.livejournal.com]

Huzzah! Please count me in, absolutely. Ideally I'd like to write one Colin/Bradley and one 'rare' pair.

Thank you so much for organising this! ♥

[alby-mangroves.livejournal.com]

AMAZING NEWS, and you're welcome! <333
