Wow, I can summon? Ooh. *revels in the power, or something.*
*grins* Well... since I have already subtitled it in my head the "I dare you" challenge, this could be curiously appropriate. I will therefore make every effort to ensure it'll also be as stress-free as possible, because no-one trying something new or semi-new is going to be real happy if it's all PRESSURE all the time, right? (laughing about your annual meeting, too. :D)
I wonder if anyone ever thinks they;re in "emergent" fandoms? I mean, that's what I vaguely think of YW as, but after all, the fandom is older than methuselah me, anyway. So perhaps that's a very self-centered perspective. :p You should totally write Star Wars, I'm mildly surprised you haven't already. And I bet you a dollar it's Anakin (the elder) fic.
I think if you let everybody offer ideas, you might want to put some sort of limit on the type -- even if only how specific they can get. this and its reverse is very valuable advice and I'm thinking really hard about it; what I may do, in the event that I do make it a multi-challenge challenge, is take a more claim-a-challenge rather than assign-a-challenge angle, and make sure there are many, many more challenges than participants, so that someone will almost certainly get something they'll be able to write/find inspiring. While assigning challenges can be done really well, I think it would be best left till after the first one, at least (assuming I manage to birth any sort of momentum for ficcing through this, of course. Which I may not. I am not counting any chickens here.)
I am also planning on issuing said call. :) I'm sort of drafting an introductory post and companion poll to put on youngwizards and I'm hammering out that last kinks on that now- I want to get it up quickly because it occurs to me that US summer is coming, which means however many of my participants who are at school/college in the Nthn Hemisphere will have time free to write. This is a Desirable Thing.
Any suggestions as to good stuff to put in the poll? (I have the obvious: deadline, have you read fic before, will you beta (yeah, right), would you consider entering, and a vague and confusing one about comments.)
