Here's my challenge for the month of October

[vagablonde.livejournal.com]

Stay with me here - it's a little long. I propose a daily challenge for October. Write a drabble or ficlet for the following daily prompts. Each day has three prompts: an event prompt, a plot prompt and a single word prompt, it's your choice, pick one, two or all three. Play as often or as little as you want - write every day or pick and choose.

I am willing to offer an incentive to anyone finishing all 31 prompts. I'm not sure what that incentive is at this point....but I'll come up with something.

To help out, I'm posting all 31 prompts up front and then I'll post them daily as well. Write a 100 words, write a 1000 - no limits, no rules. Porn is always welcome and even preferred.

Um, hello. *waves*

I'm usually a lurker, but thought I'd come out of lurkdom to introduce myself a bit and say I'm really enjoying all the fics here. I was just recently converted to the awesomeness that is Lorne and I'm so glad to have found this community and all the wonderful stories. :D

Part of my reason for delurking is to ask (and hope I'm not breaking any rules, but since it says in the com info that introducing oneself is ok, I thought it might be ok to ask while introducing myself) if there is some place specific I could ask for a beta, or if someone here might want to? A couple of the challenges for this month caught my eye, and I figure having a beta would improve my first attempt.

ETA: Does anyone know the time frame for Coup d'Etat? I'm wondering specifically ( cut for spoilers just in case )
