...until we will call Round 1 of the Evil Nurse Brenda Fest to be completed.  Thank you everyone for your hard work, and if you've procrastinated like I have, it's still not too late to get something in.  There are plenty of unclaimed prompts, and we've opened up an unprompted prompt as well for anyone. 

And still, if you want or need more time, please let either myself or girlofsoccer know.

The Most Eligible Man in Princeton Plainsboro

Hey everyone. It seems like it's only been a few weeks and some of you may have totally forgot, but the posting period for enb_fest is almost upon us! Wh-hoo! It begins on April 20. Just in case you didn't get that, APRIL 20. Main posting period goes until May 3 for some reason, which gives you 13 days to post. Remember, if you aren't QUITE done yet, you still have some extra time to post it afterwards.

We look forward to seeing what you've come up with!

The time is upon us! Time to claim prompts! (Yay!)

To claim a prompt, comment here with THE NUMBER AND THE PROMPT. Again, THE NUMBER AND THE PROMPT. This way, we can avoid mixups. A Mod will respond letting you know that you have now claimed the prompts(or telling you that #72 was already taken.) Please, no more that 3 prompts per person. If you finish and post your fics or art and you really really want to do more, take one more. But please, try to keep it at 3.

This time, enb_fest has something special. Ooooh. Say, you're walking down a road whistling a merry tune and you think, "I know a good prompt for enb_fest! What if..." Then you realize, it's not on the prompt list, so you can't possibly do it. Right?

Wrong! This year, we have the unprompted claim (UPC). This is if you have a fic or comic idea and it's not on the list. You can, im your claims post, say, for instance:
#43 - ENB goes to the store
#47 - ENB buys new shoes
UPC - ENB goes for a walk on a quiet street
ENB walking on a quiet street is not on the prompt list. But we let you do it anyways.
(REMEMBER, UPCs still count in your 3 prompt limit.)

RULES:
-One shots only. They can be in the form of sections(long sections, all in the same fic), but no chapters.
-A fic can be whatever you want it to be. You can take a comic anywhere you want. But, if a prompt says friendship or has a pairing, use it. That's why you claimed THAT ONE, right?
-You will not, no matter what anyone says, get a prompt that has already been claimed.
-If you wish to unclaim a prompt, please let us know here. Again, include both the number and the prompt.

And welcome everyone else to House's House of Whining's Evil Nurse Brenda Festival.  So far, the only fan festival on the interwebby dedicated to our favorite nurse at PPTH - Brenda Previn, RN!  

Before you dive right in to the festivities, there are a couple of things we'd like to share with you, hopefully archived here at the top of the very first page you see of this journal (because, hey, Brenda Previn is evil!Love). 


Dates, Rules, and Submission Info...

Can be found here.  This will tell you everything you need to know about when/how/if/love/etc....  Well, not love, because that would just be plain weird.  But, all the information  you need to know about how to participate is in that link. To submit a prompt, you can go here.

Also, WE HEART BETAS!!!!  In fact, I'm using Betas for the first time with this festival, and I'm already enjoying it.  And, we HEART BETAS so much that I'd like to share the following with you from our ever so favorite girlofsoccer:


So, we encourage all to find a beta, and if you want to volunteer to beta, or even help with medical/nursing knowledge, follow this link and leave a comment.


Other Stuff...

We all hope you enjoy yourselves over the course of this festival and look forward to whatever creative talents you all wish to share!

Yes, the time has come! enb_fest is officially open! *pumps fists wildly*
And how better to start off than the way all the other fests were started? Thaaaat's right, PROMPT SUBMISSION!!

Every great fic and every great comic must start out with an idea.  This post, the prompts collection post, aims to do just that.  The rules are incredibly simple:
1).  Anyone can submit prompt ideas.  You don't have to plan on writing a fic or drawing a comic either.  But if you have an idea you'd like to share, hand it over, hehe. 
2).  All genres of prompts are acceptable.  That means het, gen, slash, threesomes, sci-fi, medical drama, etc.  Brenda's evilness awesomeness will translate to any genre. 
3).  You may submit as many prompts as you like.  Take as many posts as you want/need. When you post them, please include the prompt and genre (gen, ship, AU, crossover, or art). This makes the mods' lives MUCH easier.

Example Prompts: 
• Why did Brenda become a nurse?
• Cuddy asks ENB for a favor
• Brenda sees something disturbing and takes a blackmail picture
Comment in this post with your ideas.  We will remain open for prompts until a week before enb_fest closes. 

Please remember that this post is NOT for claiming prompts; that will come after the mods sort through the prompts and make a pretty list of all the ideas we've received. (On January 31.)

Remember, betas are love. We strongly recommend getting a beta. Maybe even two betas.

We are currently looking for people interested in being betas for the fic writers and comic drawers of this round. For those who don't know, a beta is someone whose job it is to proofread a fic or comic and offer suggestions to the author or artist. If you're interested in helping someone, please comment here with your username, name, and some way of contacting you (an email address, an AIM screenname, etc).

We'll be compiling a beta list to be posted after everyone has started making claims. If you're interested, but don't feel comfortable betaing a certain type of fic (smut, sci-fi, etc), please make a note of that. Once again, comment here.

Thanks!

BETA FORMAT:
Username: LJ username
Name: Name to go by
Means of Contact: Email, IMing, etc.
Notes: Anything you don't do, anything you aren't good at, etc.
