Gen Fic/Art Challenge?

[argylepiratewd]

So, to stir up some additional interest in the community and in the creation of gen fics and art, I'm thinking about holding some kind of fic and art challenge sometime in the near future. Probably not for a few weeks, since some people are busy with cockbertbigbang right now, including myself (or, at least, I should be), and possibly some other challenges, too. I'm trying to plan ahead, though, so people can be ready when it happens, and to see if there's any interest.

What I'm thinking about right now is something informal but structured, with a small word count minimum for fics and something for artists to do, but I don't have any concrete ideas yet. Since the community is still so small and so new, and since gen isn't exactly the most popular type of fanwork, I want it to be something inviting, not intimidating. Nothing as big as a big bang (though I certainly wouldn't object to big bang-length stories, of course), but not too small, either. I'm open to suggestions.

Of course, this depends on whether or not anyone else is interested, which is why I'm asking now. Anyone?

I think I could be into that. As soon as I can get something accomplished on my CBB.

Yay! It'll pretty much definitely be after CBB. I've still got a long way to go on one of my fics, and an even longer way to go on my second, lol.

as long as it's after the CBB, i'd do it.

[argylepiratewd]

Yeah, I'm pretty tied up by CBB right now myself. Definitely after.

I'm overrun in things owed-a new chapter of sirens, charity: water and trevor project fics, the horror stuff I'm working on for a dreamwidth challenge...

But, because of you, I'm writing Adam at Hogwarts!gen. ;)

So, sure. But give me a few weeks to get some of this shit up before people come after me with torches and pitchforks.

[argylepiratewd]

Muahahahaha...er, I mean, sorry? XD

Definitely gonna be a few weeks until it happens. I've got a lot of fic to write, too.

[pensnest]

It would definitely be cool to have some genfic prompts. It's... kinda hard not to put Adam+sex.

[i-amthecosmos.livejournal.com]

This is very true.

[argylepiratewd]

Can't imagine why. *giggles* Yeah, he does tend to have that effect.
