A few days ago I saw that china_shop was running a Due South contest to find pieces of pictures scattered in various posts. Which got me wondering about an adapted version for pop. Something like, find five pictures of the sparkly boys wearing yellow shirts. Find five sparkly LJers who will have a code word for you, which added together makes a sentence you'd submit to get your point ( LJers who had agreed to that of course ) five stories where certain things happen. Something fun for after the new year, that would hopefully get people chatting. Just casual, done in my journal for the honour of a banner or maybe the ultimate prize, a star virtual gift *g*

Any thoughts?

ETA: trumpeterofdoom suggested it would be a good idea for the next round of pop_appreciate and I agree with her. So who's up for the next round? Probably after the SeSa reveals.

Also, I've just seen that ephemera_pop has started the 'guess what I wrote for MtYG' meme. So, guess what I wrote for MtYG! First three to guess get ficlets of their choice. Sadly this offer isn't available to my beta squad, except for msktrnanny who still can't guess, but can request because her birthday is too close to Christmas and she never gets birthday ficlets.

Bonus points to anyone that links my name to excellent fic *g* Plus, if you do guess, I won't be confirming or denying until after the reveal.

We're going to my brothers very soon to see my nephew and niece, then off shopping for tomorrow. I just got squared up after Christmas, and now there's the New Year stuff. I tell you, I'm already missing my usual quiet New Years.

That would be a great idea for the continuation of pop_appreciate!

You know, you're right!

I just looked at the comm, and it's nearly 6 months since the last set of challenges. I could easily adapt the scavenger hunt idea to make the next wave of appreciation over there. Mixing it up a little so the format doesn't feel stale.

I think that would work nicely!

Yay! I can't wait already! :D

[turps33.livejournal.com]

YAY!

[puszysty.livejournal.com]

Agreed

That sounds like fun! I was hoping to check out the DS hunt, but the holidays were too busy. I haven't even had time to glance at any SeSa fics yet - hopefully life will slow down a bit next month. Sounds like there's a lot of good stuff this year!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

YAY! I hope you'll be able to play with us :D

It's always so busy around this time of year, so sadly the fun stuff tends to get pushed aside. But I'm hoping that January will be much better, and a pop scavenger hunt will help push aside the pre holiday blues.

There's some fantastic SeSa stories. I haven't read as many as I usually do by this time of year, but those I have read have been good.

A fannish treasure hunt! This is an awesome idea. I've seen people participate in some and it sounded like so much fun! I'm sure it'll a be a popslash hit :-)

I tell you, I'm already missing my usual quiet New Years.

I sympathise. I would miss it a lot too if I were going to lose it. Apparently I'll get my quiet New Years since it'll be just the five of us. We might go out like we did a couple of years - to see a show or something - and then we'll get home to stuff ourselves with the delicious meal we'll have prepared beforehand. Nice and quiet. Exactly how I like it best :-)

I hope it is a hit. The period after the holidays is always dull, so it'll keep me entertained anyway.

To be honest, I'm pouting a little at losing my quiet new year. It's what we've always done, but today we had to go spend a load more money on food for a lot of people, and I need to tidy the whole house tomorrow, then be on host duty for the next two days when all I want is to be with my boys and read.

I know, the worlds smallest violin is playing for me now.

I love the idea of a scavenger hunt and would love to play (although all I know is BSB - :D ) and would love to play. Just tell me when and where. :)

Have a great New Year's!!
And a wonderful 2008!!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Knowing BSB is just fine! I'm all about the all boyband love :D

I'll be sure to let you know when it's all sorted.

Happy New Year to you too. I hope it's fantastic for you.

I'm definitely up for another round in pop_appreciate and the treasure hunt sounds like a cool idea to use!

I'm not guessing - I haven't read enough stories yet and anyway I suck completely at it :-)

I hope you'd fun at your brother's and managed to survive the shopping trip!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

YAY! It wouldn't be the same without you!

I totally suck at guessing too, but I still like to see other people doing so, because it's fun.

I did have fun, thank you. At my brothers anyway, the shopping not so much.

[vaudevilles.livejournal.com]

I have sad face for not being able to guess (though being in on the evolution of a cool story makes up for it ;o)

I'm in for the treasure hunt...

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I couldn't have managed the story without you and the others.

I have doubts that anyone will guess to be honest. I haven't seen my name mentioned anywhere. I've foxed them all!

YAY for treasure hunt in'ness!

[milosflaca.livejournal.com]

I want to be in the second round! yes, yes!!!!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

YAY! THat's great, because you were awesome in the first round!

You have a Bob icon!

[rikes]

Yay, I love scavenger hunts!

(And there's a treasure chest, too!)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Yay, I love scavenger hunts!

So do I!

Now SeSa is all done and dusted I'll start pulling ideas together. It'll be fun!

*drive by smooches*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I love smooches from you :)

[puszysty.livejournal.com]

um...Year of the Bull?

[turps33.livejournal.com]

As you know now, nope. Though that's a good story so I'm flattered :)

[strippedhalo.livejournal.com]

I suuuuuck at guessing, and have not read nearly enough of the stories to be anything like confident, so my extremely tentative guess for your story would be The Ties That Bind. BUT I'M PROBABLY WRONG. *g*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Nope, not mine. But thanks for playing :)
