Twelve Days of Christmas Holiday Fic/Fanart Celebration

[dwgm]

Posted this at blackpearlsails this morning, and just updated the calendar. :D

Speaking of Secret Santas, I didn't really get that organized this year, but I was wondering how many of us would be up for a Twelve Days of Christmas Fic/Fanart Celebration. I got the idea from the folks at perfect_duet, an Aubrey-Maturin comm, and they are doing it as a sort of Advent Calendar, leading up to Christmas. You can write anything from a drabble to a long story, or make icons or banners, share your fanart, even great links you've found that we'd all enjoy, holiday themed or not! It'll start on Christmas Day and run for twelve days, through January 5th. Let me know if you'd like to participate, and if you have a preference as to date.

ETA: Three sign-ups -- or four including me! Making a list and checking it twice...
ETA: We're up to seven!
ETA: Nine!
ETA: Friday the 10th and we're up to eleven participants! Whoot!

First Day - Dec. 25: geekmama
Second Day - Dec. 26: mamazano
Third Day - Dec. 27: sun_shot_sky
Fourth Day - Dec. 28: florencia7
Fifth Day - Dec. 29: sharklady35
Sixth Day - Dec. 30: hereswith
Seventh Day - Dec. 31: aletheiafelinea
Eighth Day - Jan. 1: hendercats
Ninth Day - Jan. 2: whensheflies
Tenth Day - Jan. 3: jenthegypsy
Eleventh Day - Jan 4: honorat
Twelfth Day - Jan. 5: trinityday

Ooooh! That sounds like so much fun. I wonder if I could do something? I never know how my time is going to go.

You could keep it simple, and I could pinch hit for you, if you like. Would the 29th work?

[honorat.livejournal.com]

I'd probably better stick to something like the fourth of January--give myself a long lead time--Okay. You've talked me into it :D

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

Yay! This will be fun, and low stress, too. For perfect_duet I ended up making some icons and posting a link to a blog that featured a Christmas Feast a la Royal Navy, and everyone seemed to enjoy it. Hopefully I can come up with a story for this one, though. I'll put you down for the fourth. :D

Know what? I think I'd like to try! I'm at a loss these days for fandomness - can I have either the day before of the day after patsy?

Hee!

I'm so excited you'll be participating! I'll put you down for the 3rd of January, if that's OK. Yay Pirates!!

Allright then, I'll give it a go :-) How about Dec 30?

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

Great! Dec. 30th it is.

[jenthegypsy.livejournal.com]

Oh squee! If only we can get Deb to sign on, it will be a grand family reunion! *drink up, me hearties, yo ho*

Tempting, tempting.....

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

C'mon! It'll be like old times! :-)

May I take 31st? :) I wanted only to watch, since I'm rather busy this year and usually don't like to work on terms, but I think I have a some quick idea. :)

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

That would be great! I'll put you down for the 31st. :D

[hereswith.livejournal.com]

Yay for you writing Pirates again too :-) I see below that she is tempted, at least...

[hereswith.livejournal.com]

Pretty please? ;-) It would be fun, all of us doing it.

[hendercats.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'm in. New Year's day? *scurries off in search of muse

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

Excellent!

*updates list*

There hasn't been much happening at the BPS Yahoo group for months, so posting there is certainly optional. Definitely post here at LJ's blackpearlsails on January 3rd.

OUTSTANDING!!!! Hail, hail, the gang's all here. ;D
