lkh_lashoutsOn my biweekly comic store jaunt, I was checking out the freebie shelf and found a huge stack of… Valentine's Day postcards featuring Anita and Edward. It got me thinking: what kind of Valentine's Day greetings would LKH's characters send to each other? What would they give as gifts? Would JC paint a big heart on his ass and invite Asher to break his heart? Would the werewolves give someone a literal heart, still warm? Would Frost make little heart-shaped ice cubes for his beloved's drink of choice?
I haven't put a lot of thought into this, so the guidelines may change. If you have questions/suggestions, please chime in.
Deadline: February 17
What's allowed:
Whatever you want to create, pretty much. It's open to both the AB:VH and MG worlds—and Nightseer too, if you're so inclined. You can do fanfic, a poem, a drawing, a love letter, a photo, icons, a song you wrote. It can be serious or funny or introspective or snarky or whatever flavour you feel like. Don't claim someone else's work as your own, though: if you use elements of another person's work, be sure to credit them. If you want to collaborate with another member, that's groovy, but arrange that over e-mail or IM, not the community space, please.
Things to avoid:
- Recommendations. This is not the type of challenge to say "This is totally JC & Asher's love song!" and post "Every Breath You Take" by The Police. It's supposed to be YOUR creation, not someone else's. (Besides, filesharing is touchy business anyway.)
- Generic lists. This is supposed to be a creative venture. Don't just write out a list of what you think people would get for each other and post it.
- LOLcat-ism. A bit here and there is okay, but don't overdo it.
How to post:
- Use an LJ-cut. There is NO EXCUSE for not knowing how. Give a brief description of your project above the cut.
- TAG YOUR ENTRY with the challenge tag, please.
- I'm not going to put on an age/rating restriction, but if you're posting something very explicit, be sure to give a warning.
- If you're posting anything with "adult content", please friend-lock the post.
- Give credit where necessary.
- If you have multiple things you want to post, do them separately—within reason. (For example, a few short poems could go in the same post, but don't put a drawing, two drabbles, and a video in the same post.) However, don't post too many times in a day; again, I'm not going to put a solid number on it, but be reasonable.
Other things to keep in mind:
- The general rules of the community still apply in regards to behaviour and such.
- Constructive criticism is fine, so if you aren't comfortable getting it, don't post. By the same token, if you think someone's entry sucks, that's your right, but either make a constructive comment or don't comment at all.
