Fic Challenge Poll!

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

I'm planning a fic and art challenge; the details are in a post soon to follow... if you're at all interested in fic and art in this fandom- no experience necessary, you are not being assessed on this ;)- please, please take my poll. :D

( follow the cut... )

Poll note: This is not the last word on challenges and it’s not a sign-up, there is no pressure involved, this is just me testing the water. Deadlines will be confirmed later; I will probably poll again to finalise the challenge; and providing I get enough interest here, I will be out of youngwizards’ hair as soon as I create a community for the challenge. Suggestions, input, etc are all welcome in the comments, anywhere in my journal, or via labellementeuse(at)gmail(dot)com.

ETA: Poll will be up until the end of my weekend, probably- that's late-ish Saturday for you guys. Plus, if you respond to any of the poll options as "something else which I will tell you in the comments", please do actually tell me in the comments. :D *does so to set an example*

YW fic challenge overview- read this first!

Dai Stiho, everybody…

Now as many, many of you are aware, I desperately yearn for more fic of the Young Wizards variety. The dearth of fic- especially fic based outside fanfiction.net- in this fandom is often-lamented and debated, so I won’t go into it here.

However, several people have recently told me that if I want something done I’d better do it myself. Accurate as this indubitably is, after careful consideration I have concluded that “If you want something done, do it yourself and drag everyone along with you” is a better maxim, and after some extensive late-night babbling I’ve decided that the way to do it in this case might just be to have a fic challenge. Maybe just to get us started, maybe it would become a regular thing: who knows? The idea is, though, to get people (myself included) writing who wouldn’t otherwise write (or draw: fanartists welcome), either in this fandom or elsewhere; to help bunny people who would write or draw if they only had an idea; and generally to provide impetus for ficcing and drawing in a more interactive environment than fanfiction.net.

So where do you come in? Well, right here, because this is where I’m recruiting my writers. YOU CAN ENTER EVEN IF YOU HAVEN’T WRITTEN FIC OR DRAWN ART BEFORE. That’s the whole point of this challenge, to get people writing/drawing. I plan on shoehorning friends, family and total strangers who have also never written before into signing up; that means you should too, because your fandom needs YOU.

If you would like to enter, or you’re interested, or you’re not, or, really, if you read this at all, please take my poll on the subject. This IS going to happen if I can get even ten people and I’m almost half-way there, so what I also want from you, even if you don’t want to enter (BUT YOU SHOULD), is your input. Would you do it? Would you read the fic? Would you _beta_ the fic? What kind of challenge? And so forth.

It takes five seconds to take a poll, so… please, I’m askin’. :D Any other questions, comments or concerns? Comment or get me by email at labellementeuse(at)gmail(dot)com.
