Challenger. [Yet another off-topic post]

[tarnished-raven.livejournal.com]

I've been watching the number of challenges increase in the comm and I'm beginning to think that we need more writers for it.

Everyone gets something out of this community's existence. A writer can get a bunny, write something they'd never have thought of otherwise, can give away a bunny they're unable to use, etc. Meanwhile, a reader can get their fix and get to read some fic[s] specific to what they like.

Everyone wins!

The only 'rules' that are really important in this community are mentioning [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] somewhere in the header of the fic and that anyone can take up any challenge, that it's not first come-first serve.

I don't consider [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] to be my community; it's a community, our community, so please don't take this as me being all bossy and/or mod-ly when I ask y'all if it's at all possible, could you please slip a mention of the comms existence into a post or recommend it when a friend mentions a challenge or idea.

The more the merrier, eh?

And apathy kills more comms than a mouse with a machine-gun.

I don't post in a lot of places chatty places, but I'll certainly try to mention it if I see people talk about challenges. And I'll put up a link in the resources section of orlibeanproject as well.

Perhaps things will pick up writing wise after V-Day, if people are like me, or some other writers I've talked to, they're already bogged down with two or three challenges for the holiday.

I wish I could say with certainly, oh I can pick up some, but I'm pretty hit and miss over what inspires me so I never really know when something's going to click.

That'd be brilliant, thanks. I'm hit and miss on the inspiration too. That's why I think the more people there are to offer and to pick up challenges, the more satisfaction everyone will get out of it. :)

It's not apathy with me, I've been inspired by a challenge. Have beginning written, fully know the ending, getting from A to B has had me staring a blank screen for quite a while. Otherwise, like abandt its hit or miss what may spark an idea.

I will pimp the comm here and there, especially with people I know enjoy challenges.

Yeah, happens to all of us. The more people who use the comm, the less 'pressure' there'll be when our muses take a vacation. :P

I only comment as fb or ... a comment, but am happy to commdrop. Anything that means a greater number of stories to read is a blow for side of Good.

[tarnished-raven.livejournal.com]

Exact-erly. *g* And we're all about a blow for the side of Good. Or a good blow... err.......

I've left a link to this community at the original "imperfect sex" challenge entry and I'll do some pimping in my journal too. The more the merrier ;-)

[tarnished-raven.livejournal.com]

Thank you, hun! :) I agree absolutely. The more people there are, there more there is for everyone to choose from on both sides, reading and writing.
