I participate some years, and not others. We'll see how this one goes, but if you're interested in a bit of fannish interaction, this is fun!

Traditionally [community profile] halfamoon is more my thing, and I've actually nominated for [personal profile] candyheartsex so I have to remember to sign up this week!

My [community profile] yuletide recipient commented, and it is all good!

I did have a fic written for me that ended up corralled due to not being finished, although it's apparently going to be revealed on the 1st January anyway? I don't know how that works. I hope whoever created it (and presumably hasn't been able to come back to it) is doing okay, though.

For the meme challenge
make a list of characters..., then ask people to submit questions in the comments, eg. "One, nine, and fifteen are chosen by a prophecy to save the world from four. Do they succeed?", "Which character would you most like to have with you in a zombie apocalypse?" After people have asked questions, submit the answers.

The [community profile] halfamoon challenge is running again this year.

For those of you new to DW/LJ, half-a-moon is a fourteen day celebration of female characters - any fandom, any female. I admit to not knowing about the fine print around female-presenting or trans women, but I assume they're encouraged and allowed. (I don't believe Rule 63 is permitted, though.)

I always start with the best of intentions and then get stuck a few days in.

This year, I was hoping to post The Other Side Of Infinity (Maria! Jane! Valkyrie! Hela! Wanda! Nebula! Gamora!) but I'm only at 25K and they haven't even hit the first mission. (I'm dreading it. But also kind of looking forward to it. But mostly dreading it.)

It's just that I'm pretty bad at keeping stories short.

Anyway, if you have fics to post, icons to make, recs for fic | art | vids | other, or anything that's centred around female characters, then get them ready. I'm hoping the increased flow of people to DW, not to mention the slight increase in the number of female options in fandoms, might get us some solid engagement this year.

And HALFAMOON IS GO!

So is the prompt challenge 2017



Welcome to the Halfamoon Challenge - fourteen days focusing on the female characters in fandom.

This includes both cisgender female characters and transgender female characters (who identify as female in their canon). All fandoms, all characters - both the female characters everyone loves, and the female characters only you do!

Come and post your fic, your gifsets, your art, your recs!

Make friends, encourage others, reblog, and participate!

Every year for the last dozen or so, the [community profile] halfamoon challenge has run from the 1st-14th February, encouraging people to focus on fictional female characters that they love.

There's everything from daily prompts to a friending meme to opportunities to meta...whatever you wish. Themes are offered but don't need to be rigidly adhered to - pretty much we encourage you in anything positive you wish to do or promote regarding any fictional female character, or just female characters generally.

There's a corresponding comm on LJ [livejournal.com profile] halfamoon, and you can post to either or both.

I'll be assisting in running it with [personal profile] tamsin - does anyone have ideas, or a willingness to help?

So, I got an anonymous ask on Tumblr, asking for a Steve/Maria AU to the lyrics of Hozier's 'It Will Come Back'.

Sometimes an idea just co-opts your brain and you have to run with it.

title: you should never know how easy you are to need
summary: She’s the paperwork, the duty, the chore – not someone that anyone seeks out. Responsibility isn’t fun, necessity isn’t glamourous, and nobody ever wants to stay around for clean-up. She does her job and she has all the interest factor of a grey cloud in a blue sky – people are mostly hoping she’ll go away.

title: don't take me in with no intention to keep me
summary: He signed up for an army that didn’t want him, for a chance that would change his life, and earned a one-way trip into a future he never imagined, and a war that could never truly be won. And the part of him that wasn’t a soldier didn’t make it out of the ice.
tags: Maria Hill/Steve Rogers, relationship, angst, Civil War, Ragnarok, happy ending.

Those 1.2K of words have taken me the better part of a week to write, and nommed all the other words I had in my head.

For those of you with a strong femme-focus; the February Halfamoon Challenge is up again this year - mostly over on Tumblr, but also here on [livejournal.com profile] halfamoon! Get your gifs and your fics and your meta ready to go, because the more the merrier!

I'm running the prompt challenges (and I'll be running the Fandom Femme-Friendly Meme next Sunday) on LJ, DW, and Tumblr - one prompt a day, and the prompt for the 1st is Origins/Beginnings.

There's also a Fanwork Request Post where you can request that femme-focused work that you've been hoping for FOREVER. (The idea is that the post will remain as a resource for people looking for ideas through the years, not just for the Halfamoon Celebration.)

The AO3 halfamoon collection is open to post fic to, as well!

If nothing else, we'd love promotion from you out to your f-list/dwircles!

If you want a Tumblr entry to reblog: here is my Tumblr promotion.
