Hey all,
Well, since our List Daddy is busy with a broken leg and a carnival and real life as such, I figured I'd take it upon myself to offer a challenge. I love Rod to little bits and pieces, and I hope he doesn't mind me borrowing his shoes for a moment. I think we've hit a bit of a plateau where fic is concerned and we've leveled out in the past few weeks. I'd like to get the ball rolling again so kick those brains into gear and listen up!! Challenge 1
Challenge 2
Challenge 3
Here are the statistics for our lists: BuffyLovesWillow: 255 members BuffyWantsWillow: 333 members We sure do have a lot of lurkers don't we? My challenge is simple: If you've never written something, try it....personally, I find it to be an amazing release from everyday life...that's why I do it so often. I have written fics in response to Rod's challenges..but I have also gone off on my own little tangent with something I came up with entirely on my own. It doesn't have to be perfect or 20 parts long...hell, it can even be just one page long from a word processor. I belong to several other lists and a hot debate topic as of late is proofreading. Personally, I don't care about spelling errors and I make plenty myself....I look at the fics that get beamed to my mailbox as works in progress. If you are self concious about this or grammar or it being hard for you to write in english then ask for help. On Rod's homepage he has a section where people have offered themselves up as beta (proof) readers. I'll also offer my services here and now. I was an English major in college (well, that was one of my majors before I changed it 3 times) and I know how confusing it can be....and it's my first and only language!!! Ok...so I didn't plan on this email
being so long.
Just a little incentive....Nominations are still being taken for the first ever Buffy and Willow 'Shipper Awards. If you can squeak your fic in before the 15th of March, then maybe you can get nominated. Hey...it could happen!!! Love you all....now get cracking!!!!!!!

like this. It's like it hurts too much to form words."
