Challenge 489: Amnesty

Our new challenge is our eighty-first:

AMNESTY



During amnesty challenges, you can post works for any of the challenges we've had to date: Complete list of prompts )

See this gdoc spreadsheet for a complete list of prompts (sheet 1 listed by date; sheet 2 alphabetical & linked)


Of course, you're always welcome to post multiple works to any challenge if you finish them before the challenge closes, but that isn't always possible. So dust off those unfinished works and half-formed ideas -- now is the time!

In amnesty rounds, please include the challenge you are posting for in the subject line of your post (eg, Bright: The Untamed: Podfic: Bunnies!).

Each work created for this challenge should be posted as a new entry to the comm. Posting starts now and continues up until the challenge ends at 4pm Pacific Time on Monday, September 1st. No sign-up required.

Mods will tag your work with fandom, media and challenge. When you've posted entries to three consecutive challenges, you will earn a name tag, and we'll go back and tag all your previous entries with your name.

All kinds of fanworks in all fandoms are welcome. Please have a look at our guidelines before you play. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact a mod. And if you have any suggestions for future challenges, you can leave them in the comments of this post.

Also, keep an eye out for the next [community profile] ffw_social post, which will go up in the next couple of days. If you haven't joined the comm yet, it's never too late to come and check it out. (Remember, posts are locked, which means you have to join to see them.)

Original: Poetry: Here We Be

Title: Here We Be
Fandom: Original
Challenge: Twinkle

Author's note: When I was in high school, my choir sang a piece called "Stars," by Lloyd Pfautsch. The lyrics come from Baruch 3:34: The stars shine in their watches and rejoice. When he calleth them, they say Here we be! Here we be! Here we be!. The phrasing bounces back and forth among the vocal sections like twinkling stars. (I managed to find a recording of a different choir doing this song; it starts about 3:35 here at Youtube.)

Find Your Otherkin Friends

There has been a recent influx of new users after Othercon, most of whom are otherkin, alterhuman, etc. This post is especially for them and others like them, who may wish to reconnect with people they know from that venue or similar contexts.

Use this post to tell folks that you are on Dreamwidth, what your fursona or other nickname is, and who you're looking for here. You can use the template in a comment below, on your blog, or anywhere else you find it useful. This one is shorter than the more detailed "Introduction / Friending Meme" is. Skip anything you don't want to share; add anything you feel is relevant.


Otherkin Connection Template

Did you attend Othercon recently, or find out about this some other way?
What is your fursona, otherkin name(s), or other nickname(s)?
What type(s) of otherkin / alterhuman are you?
What kind of content do you / will you post about?
What are some other online platforms where people can find you now?
Who are some of your otherkin friends that you hope to find on Dreamwidth or elsenet?
Do you have anything else important to share that will help networking?
