20% of December!

Hello there folks. December is 20% over and that is freaking me out! Freaking! Me! Out! I haven't even made my cookie spreadsheet yet!

Ok, cookies aside, we have 15 of us this month with an image word pledge of 161 and a written word pledge of 135,838 for a combined total of 296,838. That means by the end of the day we should have 32.2 image words and 27167.6 written words for 59,367.6!!! That brings us closer to TEN MILLION!

( How'd we do? )

WEEKEND CHALLENGE: MISFITS!AU (SUPERPOWERS)

[hanorganaas.livejournal.com]

Originally I was going to do a Hunger Games!AU but then I am like not many of you like the books.....soo I am going to do something a little different. This Challenge is based off one of my personal favorite Shows called....MISFITS.

Basically what happens is the main characters are caught in a two second freak storm and are given superpowers. Instead of it giving a random superpower....they are given powers based their fears....their wants....or their personality.

So your challenge my friends is to have your favorite character, after this freak global storm (if you wish to write about it you don't have to)...deal with this superpower which is formed based on the way they are! Questions to ask is does your character like this superpower? Does it break them in anyway or make them discover something about themselves? Do they use it for good or do they get selfish with it? Its up to you.

YOU GET TO CHOOSE THE SUPERPOWER - Having a character or two have a power based on fears wants and personality is really great for character development....but if you are having trouble feel free to ask! And if I know the character I came help.

But here's great superpowers ideas to get the ball rolling.

( EXAMPLES )

If you accept this challenge I will be writing you TWO drabbles of your choice as long as it fits in my fandom. NOW HAVE FUN KIDS!!

Daily Count Challenge on to Kaige68!

[chokolattejedi.livejournal.com]

I wrote both of my advent fics today, which was the minimum goal, and also did a little over 3K of other work, so I'd consider this day extremely productive, writing-wise (not much else-wise, as I woke up sick, but still, WORDS!) :D

So I'm passing the baton to kaige68!

Pony achieved!
