The random number generator defies odds and selects 7tree_hugger's ficlet Triggered Memories as the one I'll be illustrating. I'll try to do justice.

I'll also randomly select a challenge piece - be it fic or cake or any other creative bit of fannishness that fits the challenge - for this month to illustrate.

I realize I should have posted this with the last challenge post. Apologies for the spam!

Does anyone have suggestions for any other sort of prizes? Monthly spotlight on Against the Trumpets, a batch of ten icons, or somesuch?

A variety of little ficlettes involving Mal (thanks to Femslash100).

Comments? Questions? :-)

While Hyel informs me that the Garlic sub-challenge (probably) goes all the way until the end of the month, I'm still including a fifth sub-challenge. Just because I can.

As such: For the last three days of March, I give you the final March Sub-Challenge:
Chocolate. :-D

(Mmmmmmmmm... Chocolate... :-)

Please remember to tag your entries as "Challenge: Food".

Also, a reminder: Back at the beginning of March, Hyel[1] offered to pick a March submission at random and draw it, so if you like the idea of drawing(s) being done in honour of (or due to inspiration by) your work, please submitty-submitty! :-D

- TTFN,
- Amazon. :-)



[1] Witness: This month also I'll randomly select a challenge submission to draw art for. If it's a fic, I'll illustrate it; if cake, I will draw the cake. That sort of thing.

Just squeaking in for the garlic sub-challenge. :-)

Comments, questions, beta-ing, and what-not are all welcome. :-)

- TTFN,
- Amazon. :-)

Righty-O, another stand-in-Mod post. :-)

This week's sub-challenge is: Garlic.

Art, poetry, fic, essays, cake, etc. are all welcome. :-D

Please tag your submissions as "Challenge: Food".

- TTFN, :-)
- Amazon. :-)

I have this thing where I write fic and then post it ten seconds later, so nits are welcome as this isn't terribly polished.

For the scubbo challenge. Involves nostalgia and character death and cricket. You have been warned.

( There was a cheerful air in the great hall on Fridays. )

It should have slipped in under the "hunger" subsection, but can possibly slide into "scubbo".

( Triggered memories )

H'Okay, :-)

This week's sub-challenge is: Scubbo.

Think how creative you can get with the contents. :-D

Please remember to tag your submissions as "challenge: food".

- TTFN,
- Amazon. :-)

Challenge fic. :-) (Which, handily, might also qualifty for 'quartermaster'. ;-)

( Steak and Bacon, Every Day )

Questions? Comments? Pretty please? You know how much I enjoy them. :-D

Challenge fic for a weekly subchallenge, posted late, can still be tagged with the specific overall challenge's tag, if it still posted while the overall challenge is open, according to this rule I just made up.

It's good to be mod. :D

PG; Jackrum and co., short

Right, then. It's Thursday the 8th of March so it is time for March Sub-Challenge Number Two. :-)

The over-arching challenge, of course, is: Food.

This week's sub-challenge is: Hunger.
This can touch on anything from the perpetual near-starvation of the Borogravian population in general, to how Army Food never actually fills you up, to cravings for anything (from chocolate to coffee to, liver and spinach and other things high in iron), to anythign else that happens to strike your fancy. :-)

It can also, of course, be fic, art, cake, collages, essays, or what-have-you. Any medium is fine, as long as it's post-able in some way. :-)

Go nuts! :-)
Or, heck, given the challenge-subject, send a couple of characters out gathering nuts. :-D
(Three cheers for foraging, say I. :-)


Also, because March 8th is, apparently, Women's Day (news to me, although perhaps it shouldn't be), and because, hey, I'm drunk on my own non-existant power: I also invite people to write about women.
Which, given the fandom, is not exactly a difficult thing to do. :-)


Lastly, If anyone's been working on a Quartermaster fic, I'd be thrilled to read it, even though it wasn't finished in time to fit under the sub-challenge. :-)

Please tag your submissions as "Challenge: Food", if you don't mind. :-)

Thanks very much. :-)

- TTFN,
- Amazon. :-)

Due to continuing netlessness and the approaching visit of my "sister-in-law" tomorrow I'm posting the March challenge today, though the challenge submissions should not be sent in before tomorrow.

This month we get back to doing sub-challenges, which (to you newer members) means there'll be weekly challenges in addition to the overall challenge. The overall challenge for the month of March:

Food

Use the keyword freely, and any sort of a fan product from art or fic to collage, cake or furniture is acceptable.

And the first weekly subchallenge, closing on Friday the 8th, is

Quartermaster

Your next weekly challenge will be provided by the Amazon, due to aforementioned continued netlessness.

This month also I'll randomly select a challenge submission to draw art for. If it's a fic, I'll illustrate it; if cake, I will draw the cake. That sort of thing.

Have fun!
