Alex's This and That

Y'all,

I have a writing account here on DW that I have mostly used for lists of fiction done and word counts in the past but this year, I hope to use it more. I want to add links to all my stories as well as thoughts and inspirations. Feel free to friend me at https://alex-writes.dreamwidth.org/profile.

Pimping this here. I love it and try ti do all the challenges! It is low pressure and fun.

One of my favorites!

What is a Big Bang?
A Big Bang is a challenge in which you have 4 months to write a 20,000 word story. You have a second choice - a 10,000 word Mini Bang.

For those of you not writers, there will also be an art challenge to create art for the stories in the challenge.

Beta readers will also be called to help get those stories ready for posting!

What fandoms can we write?
This is the list:
Tolkien
Arthurian Legend
Babylon 5 (all)
DC Comic Universe
Dr. Who
Firefly/Serenity
Legend of the Seeker (TV series and The Sword of Truth books)
Marvel Universe
Pirates of the Caribbean
Real Person Fiction
Queer as Folk
Sherlock Holmes - all
Southern Vampire Mysteries/True Blood (NEW)
Star Trek (all)
Stargate (any)
Supernatural
Swordpoint
Terminator
Torchwood
Troy
Other: Fiction about fandoms that actors in the main fandom, Tolkien, are in. For example, Sean Bean was in Game of Thrones so that fic counts as well.
Real Person Fiction (of listed fandom actors, writers, etc.)

The usual rules apply.
