The Awesome April Challenge

[turps]

sperrywink has posted her Awesome April story for today.

It's Chris/JC and it's the most amazing AU that I'm going to flail over as soon as I've posted this.

So go! Read, comment and tell her she's fab.

There's one more Awesome April to be posted later today, and when I do that I'll post the month round up too :)

One more thing. Back when I started this I had vague thoughts about rolling on if it was a success, but then those thoughts fizzled out. But, I've been asked so, some thoughts about a It's Gonna Be May challenge.

First. I thought it would be good if someone else hosted it. I've loved doing the April challenge, and you've all made me so proud with how you've responded, but I think it would be good to spread the love. Plus, I'm sure everyone is sick of the sight of my name by now.

Second. I think it needs to expand beyond just fic. Offer days when people can sign up for posting icons, or a picspam, anything. Throw it open to crossovers and fanart and song mixes. The whole point of this is to show that the pop fandom is still alive. That good stuff can be posted every day.

I'll happily host all links with the Awesome April Page and I'm a master at wielding the sparkly pimping stick of doom. I know the fans are out there, and I know we could fill another month. For what it's worth, I'll sign.

Saying that. I know it's very short notice and it means someone needs something for tomorrow. But I have faith it could be done. So, anyone want to volunteer?

ETA: raynedanser has offered to host the It's Gonna Be May challenge! Also, we have volunteers to host for June and August. Man, you guys are fantastic.

Sigh. I would offer, but May is just gonna be too crazy for words, and there's no way I'm gonna have the time (though I'd hope to post a fic or two for it). I could probably reasonably offer to volunteer for June, which is a much saner month (and stupidly quiet at work). But May? Not gonna happen. :(

I will sign up, of course. And I would love to host in June. But I just can't this month! [wails and gnashes teeth]

Dude, just you saying there could be a June too makes me flail with happiness.

Saying that, I totally understand not being able to do May. While running the challenge doesn't take that much time you do need to be around every day to chase people up if needed.

But still, more you fic for next month. That's a total win!

[randomling]

I wants June. We could call it "The June Bug" or something. And yeah, in May? My sister's getting married, iconis is visiting, and there's many millions of gigs. So, er, I'm not gonna be around every day. At all.

But yes. More fiiiic. And. JUNE.

I've told Den that you're having June. So it's yours!

The June Bug. I like.

Hey! I'd love to host it!!!

If I do though, it will be through my Pixie journal.... But yeah. I could do it! :D

[turps33.livejournal.com]

That would be fantastic! All I'd ask is you keep the name and remember that Randomling wants to take June. After that, it's yours to do as you like :D

AWESOME!

*scampers off to make the May post*

Will you pimp it for me? :D Newsletter it? (what if I opened it to bandom was well?)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

YAY!

Dude, I will so pimp, in every way I can.

I think you should just open to crossovers in general, as long as one of the characters is from the sparkly fandom. Otherwise we lose the focus of the challenge.

Other than that. The challenge is yours. *hands over the torch*

Good point. Can I use your initial post as a model and adapt as needed? Please? :D

*vows to make you proud*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Of course you can. Use anything you need.

And we have a post! And a link!

[raynedanser.livejournal.com]

Here we go. The It's gonna be May Challenge (http://pixeestyx.livejournal.com/47044.html).

I'd do something for may, but I can't host since I don't have internet access everyday.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it does help if you have internet access every day. Still, I count you writing for the challenge very much as a win!

[ravenbat.livejournal.com]

If we make it to August, I'd host August via Ravenfic.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

That would be excellent. Now you need to start thinking of a cheesy name for the challenge month *g*

[ravenbat.livejournal.com]

I've been sitting here trying to think of something, so far *snorts* I have "Always in August" written on my little notepad. lol. I'll come up with something.
