Another strange idea...

[sunhawk16]

Ok, I posted that 'goes with nothing but the strangeness that is in my head' picture that Kitana did, a couple of entries ago...
(this one, for those who missed it)
http://home.woh.rr.com/picturespare/Mission.jpg
And there were several pokes about a story to go with it. Which I don't have. Nor am likely to have the time to write anytime in the next year. Or so.
So...
I had this idea and wondered what you guys would think of a contest/challenge for it? I don't have a real clear idea how to go about this, but I was thinking maybe just run it here in LJ and then do a poll? Maybe for a PL Nunn commission?
But...
Before I start this thing in motion, would anybody be interested? Any suggestions? Tell me I'm nuts? ^^;

I really love that pic and would be interested in a challenge, just as long as there's plenty of time to do it in, for slowpokes like me. ^_^

*pokes* What kind of time frame we talkin' here? I don't think I'm going to set a lot of parameters for it, but I suppose I shall have to set a date! ^^;

I would say at least three months. Hatsukoi was done in two and it seemed awfully short. But then, I'm as slow as moles' asses in January these days.

I'm with Caroline... if there was enough time to write something up for it, I'd love to give it a go. But I know the rest of this year for me will be hit and miss on the fic writing front... The first part of next year looks good though.

So depending on what the contest is asking for, if you're willing, I'm sure more than me would be! Love the pic, and it does so inspire.

I suppose it is a bit close to the holidays and all that mess. So definately after the first of the year. I don't know that I'm going to be too specific about anything, just see what the pic inspires. It's just too cool of a picture to not do something with. Kit really went above and beyond on it. ^__^

<_<

...let me get the "Yes!" out before I choke on my own drool.

as long as the deadline is somewhere in 2006 *cough*

and an LJ challenge community would be spiffy. <3 *dreamy stare into the distance* one challenge every two years - to give the writers enough time to procrastinate. And maybe there could be a procrastination deadline, you know? ie, you have to prove you have at least one paragraph after a year or so...
I'm all for it. =p

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

*grins* Are you really that backed up, or did you mean 2005? And I dunno about making it an annual thing... though it's an idea... *stares with you*

[kracken.livejournal.com]

That would be fun. *eyes picture* It does generate a lot of fic fodder...

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

So many ideas... so little time. ^__~

[viewpoints.livejournal.com]

....I'd love to give it a shot... But hearily agree with suggestions of time. A due date in 2005 somewhere? I think we could all swing that....

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

Yep, gonna put the due date sometime after the first of the year, I think. February, maybe?

[merula31]

Uh, think we already made our opinion known, but for the official record:

Go for it!!

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

I think it's gone for. ^__~

[thekittywolf.livejournal.com]

looks like this was a popular notion after all. =D

Excellent job. hehehe. ^___^

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

Whatever gets us more fic, right? *snerk*

[kitana-bradford.livejournal.com]

Just for the record?
You are insane. XP

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

*bats eyes*
Whatever makes you say that? ^^;

A challenge to write a story based on a pic, with a commission as a prize? Hm, I dunno about that. *snicker*

I think it's a great idea. You go for it. You know you'll have my support and help, if you need it for anything. (I'm sure you won't.)

Btw, it's a terrific picture. I think some good fic can come out of that. ^_~

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

I know... it's just the strangest idea! Think it'll fly? ^__~

I tried to get Kit to do the prize too, but she said that would be just a little bit TOO strange. ^^;

I don't think I'll make too big of a deal out of it, just have people post links or the story itself here in LJ, do an LJ poll at the end. (assuming I can figure out how that's done! ^^;) And I'm sure Pam won't mind a bit more business!
Besides... can we really have too many missiony Heero/Duo fics? ^__^

[infini-t.livejournal.com]

Oh..challenges...am listening ^^
and..since you asked...you're nuts! :P

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

You know... I'm starting to think so... >.>
How's a 1 or 2 person commission of your choice from PL Nunn sound? *waggles eyebrows suggestively*
You know... I don't think I'm going to even specify anything about the commission other than Pam has final say on what she will or won't do.
So... if the winner would rather have a Saiyuki or Wolf's Rain commission or whatever; why not? What do you think?

Hey, I'm trying to generate a little lurve here! ^__~

I've been fairly lax in the GW fandom as of late, and I wouldn't mind offering my art services for second/third prizes etc...

Just gives me an excuse to start drawing the boys again..*grin*

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

Yeah? That would be cool! I really need to make a post tonight and make this 'official'. I shall take your name in vain along with Pam's. ^___^ Thank you, this should hopefully generate some lovely GW fics for us all!
