Claims for fic_variations has just opened up again, and I thought I'd pimp it out a bit since it's a community I love, and I'd definitely love to see more people play.

Basically you get one prompt a month, and you're allowed to make a claim for whatever you want -- a character, a pairing, a fandom, what have you -- and you have to write either 3-5 fics or 5-7 drabbles for that prompt with your chosen claim before the end of the month. Then, the next month you get a new prompt, get to pick a new claim, and it starts all over again. It really is a lot of fun, especially if you want to test yourself out with a character/pairing/new fandom and don't want to commit to a full table or something like that.

They've also just recently opened up fv_amnesty, which is for if you dont' finish your claim in a month, where you post once you've finished them. Which is good for people life me, who's RL commitments have not been helpful in letting me finish claims.

So yeah -- if you think it's something you might be interested in, give it a shot. The claims post for may just went up, and the prompts are Love & Hate and Time.

I'm not sure about this one, because-well-we know my difficulty with non-OC's...but I looked around the affiliates and saw 100_prompts? It looks interesting...I might think about claiming there.

[iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com]

You're allowed to claim OCs -- you're just not allowed to claim the same OC two months in a row.

[defy-n-gravity.livejournal.com]

Hmm, well then I may do that...I'm not sure how committed I can be to a full table at this point.

But what gets me, is in the rules for fic_variations it says it's for fandom related fics. So...well, guess that would mean I could use Lani? ::scratches head::

[iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com]

They changed the rules, I guess they haven't updated the userinfo. But in the FAQ, it says that all OCs are allowed.

[defy-n-gravity.livejournal.com]

Sweet..I think I'm gonna go over there then.

[iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[defy-n-gravity.livejournal.com]

Okay, let me continue to be a pain in the ass.

I think I'm gonna claim Scotty and Lani to jump in here. So...when it comes to Fandom do I just put Law & Order OC and...non fandom?

[iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com]

For Scotty, you can probably put Original for the fandom.

[defy-n-gravity.livejournal.com]

:D Okay, I claimed. Eek. Exciting. More questions to come, I'm sure.

Oh, and I have a picture for you!

For Kala header. Whenever you can, no pressure. I like the first pic best, but either is fine.

[iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com]

Uhh -- Do you have any that are a little bigger. They're both two small for what I usually make.

[defy-n-gravity.livejournal.com]

:( Not really. Pic availability is rough with her. There is this one, but it's not too much bigger. http://dianemizota.com/images/home_photo_diane.jpg

I'm currently looking at hot Messer icons and hot Dean icons :P They're taunting you. They're saying, "Emily, rest your brain - come online..." Or..maybe that's me saying it :D

(I'll save the links for you)

Re: Completely unrelated....

[defy-n-gravity.livejournal.com]

Re: Completely unrelated....
