D-Day Challenge 2007

[pensnest]

Firstly, Happy Birthday to my Adorable Niece. *Five!*

Now. It is St George's Day, and therefore, the best possible day on which to launch the Second D-Day Challenge. This time, the Dragon Challenge has Added Dwarves. Just in case you have no dragon story left to tell. Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to write a popslash story (well, it can be popgen, really, but you know what I mean) of 500 words or more, which features at least one member of Nsync or BSB and involves at least one Dragon or at least one Dwarf (or both). These can be literal, figurative, metaphorical or, um, something else which I have forgotten.

Deadline for stories: your story needs to be emailed to me by noon on 5th June. Stories will go public on D-Day, which is 6th June. Stories will be anonymous for a week, because I like it that way.

Sign-ups: please comment below to say you'd like to participate. I will email you a reminder, and any further information. If you want me to use an email address that isn't your LJ one, please include it in your sign-up.


If you would like , do feel free to make your own, or help yourself to any of these (some of which I made last year, some of which are new):

Whee! Count me in! I'm lifting #17 - it cracks me up.

[pensnest]

Welcome!

[vaudevilles.livejournal.com]

I shall not be writing. But I shall pimp and cheerlead and otherwise provide roaring, fire-breathing, scaly support.

[pensnest]

Roaring, fire-breathing, scaly support will be very much appreciated.

[silveryscrape.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm in. #3, please?

[pensnest]

Excellent.

[silveryscrape.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[turloughishere.livejournal.com]

Squeeeeeee!!!! It's Dragon Challenge (now with added Dwarves!) Time!!!!

I love your new banner, it's so much fun!! And all the new (and old) icons are wonderful as usual. I'm snagging # 1, 7, 8, 9, and 17 and will of course credit when I use them.

[pensnest]

:-) I'm not sure I can stand looking at the yellow glare for the next month and a half, so I may revert to a more, hmm, tasteful layout in a couple of days' time - but it seemed like a fun way to announce this challenge.

[turloughishere.livejournal.com]

The yellow is a bit glare-y, isn't it :-)

[pensnest]

It is a bit much, but having coloured the dragon as I did... well, it was either this or the green.

[turloughishere.livejournal.com]

*tries to envision the green* Urrrk! That would probably be even worse :-) But the dragon itself is absolutely adorable! Verily a yay-dragon!

[pensnest]

Yes - just wear your sunglasses into my LJ for a few days, I'll have the pretty back soon! He/she is a very cute dragon, though - I found him/her on a site which offered pics for colouring in, and he/she had Bun and me squeeing with joy.

[raynedanser.livejournal.com]

Sign me up! Also, taking icon #2. Lovely! :D


(and how completely horrid am I that I immediately thought of Chris's friend Eric as the said dwarf? *facepalm*)

[pensnest]

Good stuff. (I had failed to appreciate the glory that is popslash canon, until someone reminded me of Chris's friend...)

[sperrywink]

I'm in! It is too good to miss and I just found the perfect inspiration.
Also taking number 14!

[pensnest]

Welcome!

[withdiamonds.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'm in. I'm taking #13. And #4.

[pensnest]

Excellent. (I know you expressed a preference for something a bit later - and I sympathise. I have *no* dragons, or dwarves, in my head right now.)

[withdiamonds.livejournal.com]

That's okay, I'll suck it up and think of something. :)

[iconis.livejournal.com]

I might be crazy, but count me in. :)

[pensnest]

Splendid.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Dragons!

What's one more challenge?

I'm in!

[pensnest]

Glad to hear it!

[mysoulunfolding.livejournal.com]

*sigh* As though I needed something else to do... Sign me up! (use this email: josie [at] distant-faces [dot] net )

And... I'm taking... multiple icons, they're gorgeous! :)

[pensnest]

Welcome!

[ninjetti75.livejournal.com]

Hee, roar-to-comment.

As I am writing NOTHING anymore except my serials and challenges, I shall take this challenge! I shall also take icon #10, as it is lovely and non-specific, so if any other dragon needs come up, I'm all set.

I don't think I can sequel last year's... ..then again, that would make anonymity pointless, so perhaps that's just as well....

[pensnest]

Glad to have you!

[stellamira]

Since I'm posting comments and this tab is still open, I might as well sign up. *g* God help me.

[pensnest]

Excellent!

[ariadnem.livejournal.com]

If you take me, I'm in.

[pensnest]

Of course! Welcome.

[ariadnem.livejournal.com]

Great ^^

[patchworkdragon.livejournal.com]

I'm in!

[pensnest]

Glad to have you!

[rikes]

That's one bright layout. :)

And YAY for dragons!

[pensnest]

It's very much 'bring your sunglasses to visit my LJ' time here at the moment, I know. It'll calm down again soon - I don't think I can deal with it for another six weeks... But meanwhile, yes, Yay dragons!

[muinteor.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm really rather late, aren't I?

Still, I'd love to participate, if there's still time.

[pensnest]

Welcome - and sure, there's still time. At least, I hope there is, because I haven't even thought of an idea to write yet...

[muinteor.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

I'm sure you'll think of something.

I have some ideas, now let's see if I can string them together.

[ariadnem.livejournal.com]

Mo cara!!!

*glomps*

Blergh

[runzu.livejournal.com]

I already started writing one, so I'm in, kay? >>; To think I spent the past hour making this hideous icon. LOL

Re: Blergh

[pensnest]

Welcome - the more, the merrier! :-)

[bellamyrose.livejournal.com]

Is it too late to sign up for this?

If not, count me in please.

[pensnest]

Not too late at all - glad to have you.
