mcshep_match and cliche bingo, a.k.a. fandom = <3

[propinquitine]

I've been having fun over the past week reading all of the fabulous drabbles being posted at the mcshep_match Drabble Challenge, and I've even managed to sneak in some writing in between rounds of bar study flashcards. If you're in a drabble-y mood, definitely check it out! And you can be a mercenary drabbler for either team -- competition's neck and neck right now, so I'll nudge you gently in the direction of writing for Team Peace, but with 350+ drabbles already, both teams have made an excellent showing!

(Oh, oh, and check out the gorgeous Team Peace icon monanotlisa made! You can see the gorgeous full-size banner of the image here at her journal.)

Also, because you needed another bingo card post on your flist:



This is definitely giving me some (vague) ideas! I'm not really sure what the "beauty" prompt is (or is that just fic where someone is ~startlingly beautiful~?), and I'll want to go look over the full list of prompts to see what I might use in that wild card square, but on the whole: this is going to be fun! Once I'm done with the bar and can have a life again, I mean.

I will totally trade you food for sleeping arrangements! (Sounds like we're starting some sort of barter economy, here.) I love seeing what pings other people as "hey, awesome!", because I wasn't all that interested in the food square, but now you've got me thinking.

"Anything to do with beauty" sounds about right, and I've also got the "physical imperfections" square, which could make for an interesting two-sides-of-the-same-story kind of back-and-forth, though of course they're not in line at all!

Yay, barter economy! (And don't dis your ability to write food-related stories, missy-photo-documenter!)

but now you've got me thinking.
And this is why I love the interactive nature of journaling sites for fandom. We get to have thinky conversations!

Oooh, does sound interesting! I'm comforting myself with the idea that it is not forbidden to continue to write things for these prompts after August end. And if you get really ambitious, there's always the 'double-line' option :)

Yes, yes, it'll definitely be fun to keep working away at these after August! I might set myself the goal of doing a blackout within a year (definitely not by the time the challenge is up! Ha!), just to have something I can always be working on.
