The Monthly Challenge for June will be The Hug as suggested by brittlesmile

Thom Gunn's The Hug:
My quick sleep had deleted all
Of intervening time and place
I only knew
The stay of your secure firm dry embrace.

Also, if you happen to have an idea or two for a future monthly challenge, please feel free to leave a mention of it in reply to our "Suggest a Monthly Challenge Post".

Have fun guys!

The Monthly Challenge for May is: "Role Reversal"

as donated by shane_mayhem. You can "take this to mean what you will--could be that real Jack makes it back thru the Rift somehow and our Jack is stuck in 1941, forced to play out the life of the man whose name he stole..." anything you like!

Also, if you happen to have an idea or two for a future monthly challenge, please feel free to leave a mention of it in reply to our "Suggest a Monthly Challenge Post".

Good luck everyone and we look forward to seeing what you guys come up with!

Hey guys, I'm really sorry about how late this is, but real life has been crazy and I haven't had much time for LJ :(

This month's challenge will be The Future is No More Uncertain than the Present

"The future is no more uncertain than the present." -Walt Whitman

Thanks to shane_mayhem for the suggestion!

As always, any form of fanwork is acceptable. And I swear I'll start work on these banners!

If you have a suggestion for a future monthly challenge, please leave it HERE

Have fun everybody!

Many thanks to everyone who entered this month's challenge, you had me worried for a while but you came through in the end :D Banners will be posted asap. (I hope you all noticed I posted on the right day this month!)

This month's challenge will be Forever is composed of nows

Forever is composed of nows.
- Emily Dickinson

Thanks to shane_mayhem for the suggestion. We've had lots of great suggestions to keep us going, but more are always welcome here

All forms of fanwork are accepted.

Have fun everyone!

Hey guys, there've been some amazing fics recently for Valentine's Day and the Weekly Challenges, but the Monthly Challenge has been sadly neglected :(

Check out information about the Last Words challenge here

There's a few days left to enter, and remember all forms of fanwork are acceptable!

Thanks so much to everybody who entered the last two challenges, it was much appreciated and they were all fantastic :)

Anybody who'd like to participate (and earn themselves a banner) is encouraged to take part in the February Monthly Challenge Last Words.

Under the cut are 2 banners for lilithbint and wihluta and one for brittlesmile, phlogistics

( And here they are )

Hope you like them :)

On a totally unrelated note, anyone planning any shamelessly fluffy fic for Valentine's Day? Or will it be a bit of an angst fest, as usual with our boys? :)

Firstly, apologies for the lack of banners recently. January's been a bit of a crazy month for me, but I promise I'll post all the banners that you guys are owed asap.

This month's challenge will be Last Words

This can be taken however you wish. I came up with the challenge while reading this poem by Dannie Abse, but you can interpret it in any way you see fit.

Thanks to brittlesmile for pointing out this site which has lots of last words on it!

If you have a monthly challenge suggestion, please leave it HERE. I'm running low on ideas right now (I think schoolwork has eaten my brain) so any help would be much appreciated.

And, as always, have fun everybody!

Happy New Year everybody!

Wow, it's nearly a year since Jack/Jack hit our screens. To celebrate, let's have lots of entries for this month's challenge.

The challenge will be Time is a fire

"Time is the fire in which we all burn."

Thanks to shane_mayhem for the suggestion.

If you have a suggestion for a challenge, please leave it here

The number of entries in our last two monthly challenges has been somewhat... lacking. Or, to put it more accurately, there's only been one entry. I'm hoping to kick start the challenges again with a special one for the new year, but I need your help. Please, please, leave any challenge ideas HERE. I would say it was your duty, but that might be taking it a bit far.

PS - Is it me, or did anybody else watching the Who Christmas special squee at the sailor saying "It's my duty" and at the salute at the end?
