turpsI have an idea I want to put to people.
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
clumsygyrl has a cool comm where people are producing a bandom fic every day for a year. I was wondering if people would play in something similar for popslash? Not for a year obviously, no way do we have the active writers to do that, but a month.
A month where people commit themseleves to a date where they have to post something at least 100 words long. Then at the end of that month we'd have at least 3000 words of new popslash, and that's very much of the win.
I'm thinking next month when there are no major days or challenges, that I can think of anyway. If I'm wrong, let me know.
So, thoughts. Comments. If you're a writer would you join? Any of the sparkly boys, any pairing. Anything goes as long as you commit to those 100 words.
ETA:ephemera suggests that it be kept off a community and kept to a central challenge post, with links to fics going to individual journals. That's fine by me. As in doing that it means people would get to know and hopefully get to look around the active popslashers journals. I'll probably put a sticky post in my journal somewhere, one that's easy for others to find.

Date: 2008-03-21 03:44 pm (UTC)While I would have set up a comm I think sometimes so many comms get created that people get sick of joining them all. Plus, I especially like the idea of people getting to go visit other journals. The better to show all the active pop fans out there.
So I make a central post at my journal. People pick a date, post something at their journal on that date, and I link to the central challenge post?
I'd love us to get a year done, but I suspect that would be wishful thinking. Maybe on a month to month basis? If people manage April it could be run again in May, and on and on.

Date: 2008-03-21 04:57 pm (UTC)Right now I'm trying to write PORN. Well, actually, I'm hovering, and trying to write as much as I can before there has to be PORN. I don't like writing sex but this one won't leave me alone!

Date: 2008-03-21 05:00 pm (UTC)But I sympathise about not liking writing sex. I do too :(

Date: 2008-03-21 10:47 pm (UTC)I think enough people have expressed interest, so I'll pull together a sign up sheet soon.
Hopefully April will have new popslash every day!
