Transformers Fanfic Contest

don't forget everyone! the Starting Over Again contest ends at 11:59 PM CST (-6 GMT) on May 2, 2013!

hello, everyone! I apologize for the long radio silence. every time I thought I could get this comm back up and running, another complication dragged me back down.


but, no more! our next contest will be in April! prizes will include Kreon Microchangers and Kreo kits! I just need your help with one tiny detail.


we need a theme. comment here with suggestions.


the party starts April 1st. (no foolin' this time!)

It's that Unconditional Fandom Love time of year again, and once again tf_valentine is open for business.

Participation is easy and simple (i've left messages every year i've been active in the fandom.)

Please go to the tf_valentine LJ and comment!

Here's how it works:

1) Choose up to 10 people (or more, the mod says she doesn't really don't mind!) from your fandom. Write a sentence or two about how you feel about them. It could be as simple as "you always make me smile," or "I love your icons." Just something you would like to tell them.

2) Post your list to this entry. You have until midnight (UK time) February 13th to send them in. No exceptions. It can be done anonymously or not, no posters will be revealed and comments are screened.

3) On February 14, a list of all the people who received comments and the comments that they received will be posted without revealing who sent them. Hopefully, lots of you will wake up on Valentine's Day to all kinds of anonymous love!

Please make sure that that the LJ name is correctly noted!

i have to say that i've loved getting my valentines first thing in the morning on the 14th. they've always been inspiring and fun and made me feel good, and that's something we all need more of. so cruise over there and share the love with as few or as many people as you'd like.

PS: don't forget that the ficlet exchange is still running until Jan. 31st!

THE EXCHANGE HAS ARRIVED!!!

Rules!

1. Respond to this post with fanfic requests - you can make up to three requests (the comments shall be screened).
1a. Use the following format when posting requests:
Continuity:
Characters/Pairing:
Prompt/Premise:
Preferred Rating:
2. On November 26rd, I will put all of the requests in a single post. (NOTE: You can still make requests in this post after November 26rd, and I will simply add it to the new post).
3. To fill a request, simply write the ficlet and respond with it on the next post, indicating which request you are filling.
4. If your request is filled, please feel free to respond to the person who wrote your ficlet! There's no point in anonymity when the request is filled. =)
4. You can fill as many requests as you like!
5. No ficlet should be longer than 1,000 words.
6. I urge you to write at least one fic if you make requests, but of course I cannot force you. ;-)
7. This will end on January 2, 2011 to cover everyone's winter holidays and bring in the new year with style. :D


Prizes!

this year, the winner gets a copy of the DW edition graphic novel of Transformers: War Within Vol. 1. (should you already have it, something else can be worked out after the exchange is over)

second place will get a set of two home made pillow cases, crafted from Bayverse fabric. (should you want other fabric, i'm happy to make something else, but you'd have to buy it as there isn't any currently on the domestic market, much to my sadness.)



Here are the requests, and all are numbered. If you want to fill a request, just respond in the comments with the number in the subject. Remember, all the ficlets should be posted in the comments of this post.

More than one person can fill a request, because it's interesting to see how people take each one. ;)

Remember, try to keep it to 1,000 words. If you can't, it's okay - I'll be lenient. But just try. ;)

Like last year, you may also continue to make requests at the original request post until the exchange closes on January 1.

have fun, everyone! i look forward to seeing what you come up with!

Authors, you may now cross post these stories to your own journals/communities and any of the other fandom communities you'd like. ^_^

Also, I need the first and second place winners (sorry third place guys! I can't afford prizes for everyone this month) ALL WINNERS to PM me with the prize you'd like to have. And for physical prizes, I'll also need your mailing address so that I can get it sent to you.

EDIT: an anonymous donor has stepped forward and offered to pay for prizes for the third place winners, so everyone will get their promised prize after all. just PM me with your choice and we'll get you taken care of. ^_^

Thanks for your participation, everyone! The next community activity will be announced in a day or two. (though, for you old hats, I bet you can guess what's coming next!)
