Themes

I think it's great to use the themes as long as something different, and I'd love to see what you all can do with a Thanksgiving/Christmas holiday and familytime theme!

Re: Themes

[spikedluv]

Thanks so much for these theme suggestions. *g*

Could I vote "e" for "all of the above"? I quite like the theme idea, but I also like everything else as well. Some possible themes might be Father's Day, birthday, anniversary, or a romance/"date night"?

[spikedluv]

All of the above sounds like a good idea! Thanks for your input. The consensus appears to be to keep the holiday/winter theme for this fest, but perhaps we can use your ideas for other fests. (We did do a Valentine's Day fest last year that was all about the romance. *g*)

hello, is it a problem to write fics using the prompts even with the fest over?

[spikedluv]

Go ahead! I'll not say no to more Shelter fic. *g*

Valentine's Day

Hi, another question: Will there be another Valentine's Day Fest? I hope so!

Re: Valentine's Day

[spikedluv]

I wasn't planning on it because I wasn't sure how much interest there'd be. If there's interest, sure! How about I post another poll? *g*

Re: Valentine's Day

Thanks, great idea! I hope there is interest, I'd love to read some V-Day stories!

[figaro23.livejournal.com]

Cheers, it's me again. Will there be another Halloween Fest this year? I hope so, Halloween is my birthday after all!

[spikedluv]

Funny you should bring that up; I was just thinking about it! *g*

[figaro23.livejournal.com]

Oh, good! I'll take that as a yes, then! :)
