Claims for [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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.

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

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::

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

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

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?

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

: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.

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

:( 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

Completely unrelated....

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)
