...And we're back! I know it's been a long, long time, but challenges here at choco_cherries will officially resume as of now. Since we never had voting for the last free for all round, the next voting post will include two polls, one for round 29 and one for this round (30).

The current challenge is memories.
+ The writing guidelines are the same.
+ Post your ficlet directly to the community in it's own entry (with a real or fake cut).
+ All entries must be turned in by January 2nd at midnight (eastern time).
+ Tags for your entry should be: *all fiction, prompt: week thirty, user: fillintheblank
+ Multiple entries are encouraged so feel free to submit up to three fics!!

Also, please take a moment to skim the approved fandoms list, as old fandoms have been removed for lack of use and new ones have been added by request/my desire. If you'd like to write for another fandom, let me know!

Have a question not answered below? Feel free to ask in the comments!

Feel free to comment with any prompt suggestions you'd like to see. (Except for you, uptheapples, we know you like bananas.)

Title The Touch, The Feel
Rating a mild M, I think.
Fandoms Gilmore Girls & Gossip Girl
Pairing Jess Mariano/Blair Waldorf
Prompt Mirror @ choco_cherries
Word Count 376

They're in a fight.

So the last few challenges have been kind of pathetic participation-wise, despite the fact that the ones that have been entered were full of awesome. I'm considering putting the community on a month-long hiatus until everybody is done with finals and such, doing another free-for-all, etc etc. So if you could fill out the poll, I'd much appreciate it.

Also, if you have any ideas for new prompts/allowed fandoms, do let me know!

Poll #1379977
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 7

My excuse slip says...

My ideas for prompts are...

Don't forget to enter the current challenge! We've had 0 entries thus far and it'd be great if we could get enough entries to have voting on Saturday. So consider this your mid-week reminder ;)

We only got two entries for the last round so we'll be moving on to a new challenge. As always, the entered fics will be saved for the next poll.

The current challenge is mirror.
The rules are the same.
+ Your ficlet must be between 200-500 words.
+ It (obviously) must feature a crossover ship from an allowed fandom.
+ It (obviously) must feature the prompt in some (however abstract) way.
+ Post your ficlet directly to the community in it's own entry (with a real or fake cut).
+ All entries must be turned in by April 10th, 2009 at midnight (eastern time).
+ Tags for your entry should be: *all fiction, prompt: week twenty-seven, user: fillintheblank

PS. New allowed fandom alert! Dollhouse and Kings are fair game now... because I love them both and want to abuse my mod powers.

I just want to give everyone a last minute reminder that entries for the current challenge are due tomorrow. We only have two entries so please try to write something if you can find the time!

Good luck all of you who are suffering through midterms! I hope everyone has/had a good spring break!
