Flashwork Challenge #7: Time Travel

Hi folks!

We haven't received any entries for this prompt challenge yet, so I'm going to extend it a couple of weeks. I know I've been madly working on a big bang and two other fest fics, so I'm hoping that's what you are all doing as well (or just on summer vacation). In any event, we'll keep this open until Monday August 22nd, so hopefully we can get some entries for our Challenge #7: Time Travel.

Banners by

ilthit here, if you'd like to share on your journal and help us drum up some business.

Prompts?

There's only one suggestion so far on the last post, so this is another call here - we need a few suggestions so we can have a poll. Past prompts (as long as they have not won) are perfectly acceptable. Prompts, anyone? What prompt would you like to make fanworks for?

End of the Work and Play challenge

That was a tough one! Only one work, and you can find it under the Work and Play challenge tag.

Let's move on to ideas for our next flashwork challenge - comment with your ideas and we'll put up a poll later this week.

Making a Difference (White Collar fic)

Official Bureau Response (fanfic by Dragonfly)

Title: Official Bureau Response
Creator:

dragonfly
Universe: White Collar
Type of work: Fanfic, missing scene from Point Blank
Contains: Lesbian character
Summary and/or notes: What happened after Diana 'cuffed Neal?

This is not a newly written story, so it doesn't seem right to claim it's for the current challenge, though it certainly takes place at work. I own no rights to anything related to White Collar.

Rising [Fic by lunesque]

Title: Rising
Creator:

lunesque
Universe: No Rest for the Wicked
Type of Work: Fic
Pairing: November/Red
Summary: Red can be greedy, at times.
Contains: Minor character death but nothing explicit.
Disclaimer: These characters belong to Andrea L. Peterson. I promise to let them go back undamaged.
Author's Note: This was written for the Female Character Trope Fest. The prompt was No Rest for the Wicked, mirror!verse. This story is queer gen. Red and November are absolutely together in this universe, but that has no bearing on the story.

Cheerleading for the Work and Play challenge, and banners! :D

I'm so late on this - the lovely

ilthit made us some lovely banners for this challenge (see below, and for other sizes, see here), so won't you consider doing a little flashwork in the fandom of your choice for Work and Play?

If you have any ideas or questions or concerns, put those here too. Maybe you have a prompt you won't get to or you're stuck on an idea and we can brainstorm together!

Universe: Red Dwarf
Type of work: Fic
Contains: Forcible gender re-assignment and robotic lack of free will.

( The lights went out to signify lockdown. )

Flashwork challenge #6/3 Weeks for Dreamwidth

Hi there! You have voted, and you decided the theme for flashwork challenge #6 is Work and Play!

You do not have to add your story to the 3W4DW if you don't want to; if you do want to, it should be posted on DW only for three weeks, and please use the three weeks for dreamwidth tag.

Either way, please use the challenge: work and play tag. Sorry this isn't more uplifting, but I've just got home after 15 hours on the road and I need to faceplant now. Cheerleading in the comments? :D?

Last chance!

I'll be closing the Family challenge tonight before I go to bed, so around midnight EST. If you've got those fanworks, get them up there (and I know I'm going to try to write a little something before bed). Start thinking up prompts for the next one - it'll match up with the

three_weeks_for_dw fest, so let's make it a good one! :D

Blooming, Lovely [Sarah Jane Adventures fic by thingswithwings]

Title: Blooming, Lovely
Creator:

thingswithwings
Universe: Sarah Jane Adventures
Type of Work: fanfic
Contains: kids having secret crushes on adults they know
Summary/Notes: Just a little piece of Rani + Clyde sweetness that I wanted to write. Thanks to the "Family" challenge, I had that little push of motivation to actually get it done!

(mods, may I have a tag for fandom: the sarah jane adventures, please?)

Time is running out!

Just a reminder that the Family Flashwork Challenge finishes on Monday 18th. So far we've got four works tagged as part of the challenge, so let's use the weekend to increase that number further (and please remember to tag your works for this challenge with the "challenge: family" tag, so that we know which works to include in the final round up)!
