shelter_dinerThe prompts are in, now it’s time to get creative!
All types of fannish creations (fic, graphics, vids) are welcome; just comment here to claim a prompt (or two). You may claim as many prompts as you like, more than one person may claim each prompt, and you may claim your own prompt. There is no length requirement.
So that you can find it again, this post will be tagged {challenge} holiday fest 2011.
Submissions will be due at the last two weeks of December, during the period from December 18 - December 31. Don’t post them before then; these are holiday gifts to each other/the fandom.
I guess that’s it for the rules; on to the prompts.
Happy writing! *g*

Date: 2011-12-20 12:54 pm (UTC)Fiction for holiday fest
Date: 2011-12-22 06:06 am (UTC)Would it be totally impossible to post this if need be later. I hurt my back moving boxes to find a lost Christmas tree in our attic, this was almost a week ago and it's only getting worse. Though I can be online to post things, sitting and writing (at least right now) is horribly painful. With Christmas coming up and 3 boys, I don't think I'm going to have much time to write once I do feel better (which better be by Christmas Eve) *hopes*.
I have a bit of the fic written and would like to hopefully post this still. I doubt I'd go much more than a day or two after the 31st, and maybe I won't need to at all. I'm just really stressing about it as it is something I'm writing that I'm really in love with.
Please let me know. Thank you,
Rory
