The celticmoonstar Sirius/Remus Fuh-Q-Fest challenges were just posted (with pretty art from Linnpuzzle!). Already there are 5 I am *dying* to write for. I won't list numbers, but my tastes for the fest are ALL over the place. LOL But I did get a kick out of this one:
5. Who knew that one of our boys had allergies during the springtime?
Bwahahahahaha! I sooooooooo hope someone good picks that one *blushes* I'd be FAR too nervous to write for it.

Just FYI... the new Sneezefic Annual Challenge was announced today. Yay! Everybody get working on their entries! :-)


My To-Do list for tonight:

• Finish the two gift fics for tomorrow- one is finished and the other is very close. And when I say close I say it breathlessly, on the verge of... yeah. Close ;-)
  
• Go through all my lovely, wonderful beta's comments on my Remus/Bill fic and send that in tonight before I forget and miss the deadline. *HUGS* Thank you all!
  
• Ignore the Remus/Bill short sneezeficlet she started yesterday out of the blue that's just BEGGING to be finished
  

Yesterday I worked on the aforementioned sneezeficlet (which I'm now thinking can be worked into a challenge fic... hmm...) and worked a little bit on my HP fics for week 35 and week 26 weekly hatched bunnies. The week 35 fic is FAR from being finished. The week 26 one is close... can't decide how to end it. So it could be a page more, or it could be a few sentences. I don't know yet.

Okay. So, people on sneezefic expressed an interest to have weekly mini-challenges, and I said I'd see if I couldn't put something together about that.

First, off, I don't want to use the word "challenge" because we already use that for something else and it's a pretty strong word to me. These are more like... plot bunnies or points of inspiration or something. I don't know. All the other fic lists I'm on call them challenges so I'm at a loss. And you all know me and titles!

So the draft site where people can go and submit "challenge" ideas is at:
Sneezefic mini-challenge... suggestion... thing
Sorry about the long URL there. I didn't want to go through the whole registering for a redirect thing unless y'all decided to go with this.

Go take a look if you're interested. Again, the idea is to have a weekly suggestion/concept/theme/inspiring idea presented and people can write fics starting from there. No pressure. A week recommended but no firm time limit. Participation totally optional. Just something to inspire people to break out and write something different (or write something at all). But none of the pressure or grandeur associated with the big challenge thingy

Buuuuuuut as I've said before, I'm a subscriber to letting lists live naturally. So if y'all decide that these suggestions (or whatever clever name we want to call them) defeat the purpose of a laid-back yet exciting group, feel free to tell me to shove it and I'll never, ever mention it again :-) We've never needed any reason to push people into writing fics before. But the concept of this was desired to help writers get inspired to write different, new things. Or to focus more on one fandom for a week, etc. So take a look and discuss. If you all don't think it's needed (I'm personally not sure that it is since I like the way the list is already, but it might be fun *shrug*) feel free to say so. If you think we should go for it... then we'll need a better name that avoids using the big, scary, over-used word "Challenge" :-)
