slashing_lorne | Challenges 2011 - gauging your interest...

Established challenges:
~Summer of Lorne, June thru Aug
~Fright Night, Oct
~12 Days of Lorne, Dec

*Fic Exchange Jan-March
In the process of sorting the details right now =)

*Dreamwidth anniversary celebration. Not really tentative as I do plan on poking people on DW slashing_lorne. The celebration starts in April for 3 three weeks you try to advertise DW shake up comms with activity, to showcase your comm. The main rule is you can only post (fic, art, graphics, etc) on DW during those 3 weeks after that time period anyone who participated can post to their LJ/LJ comms/archives etc. If you have a DW account & are not a member on slashing_lorne, go & join =)

*Pimp your pairings, Feb-Nov a different pairing each month (a low key challenge throughout the year as it’d only apply to you if it’s the month of your pairing =)
The thought is to celebrate a particular pairing, but the main goal is if it’s your pairing -to pimp out why people should be reading/writing this pairing. So I'm thinking for people to post recs, pic spams, give us their reasons why that pairing - why it works for them (not just because they're hot, but that works too). I'd also like to involve any pairing centric comm - invite them to pick a month possibly create their own challenge around the idea - to post new fic, recs, icons/graphics, pic spams etc. If you know of any comms that celebrate a pairing please lmk, I'd like to contact them, see if they'd be interested in creating a challenge around this idea. If you're reading this & you're a Mod; would like your comm to participate, particular month, lmk.
Pairing thoughts:
Parrish
Sheppard
McKay
Ronon
Zelenka
Kavanagh
SG1 pairings: Lorne/Cam, Lorne/Daniel, Lorne Jack etc
SGA misc pairings: Lorne/Chuck, Lorne/Beckett, Lorne/Ford etc)
3-4 pairings Any SGA/SG1 characters het included as long as there is m/m ie: Lorne/Weir/Sheppard, Lorne/Sam/Mitchell
Xover characters (ie: Lorne/Tony DiNozzo (NCIS), Lorne/Dean Winchester (SPN)

**Mini BigBang min. length 10k May-Dec (writers May 1 – Aug 1 for drafts, ((2nd week of Aug artists pick)) Artists Sept 1 – Nov 20th)
It'd have to be Lorne centric (Slash, Gen, Xover, & Het if it’s within a 3-4some pairing). Okay so my thought is writers who sign up - I'll open another comm to join that will be closed, so we can openly encourage each other before the reveal – initial thought is either before/after 12 days, ie during the week after Xmas.

Ha either its me or LJ, but I've tried 3 times to create a poll - arg!!! Anyhoo drop a note if you're interested- I like to plan ahead, if there isn't enough interest I'll move on to something else =)
