admin: Challenge anyone?

[unadrift.livejournal.com]

It's been pointed out that it feels weird to post a fic here -- to a reccing community. Let me emphasize: This is neither an exclusive rec, nor an exclusive fic community. In order to organize as many episode-related stories as possible, it is open for both. But, in fact, we're going to go the writer's way here today.

In about a week's time we're planning to open our first writing challenge. The prompt will be episode related (duh!) starting out with an episode with no fic or rec listed here up to now. The link below will lead you to a poll where you can pick the episode you'd like to write/read about from a selection of fifteen such episodes. The actual challenge will be a bit more specific than "Write for episode XY", though.

Every story that fits the challenge, regardless of genre or rating, will be accepted. A specific challenge tag will allow you to view all the entries. You'll also be able to post the usual fics and recs for the duration of the challenge. (Detailed rules follow later.)

admin: Challenge anyone?

I find it hard to believe that there is no fic yet about any of these SGA episodes! Anybody who keeps track of what fic they read - please see if any episode-related fics are among them and let sga-episodefic community know!

Thanks for admin-ing this valuable community!
Love, max

hi, you've got a thing in the profile about how to do an 'or' search for tags - is this because there isn't a way to do an 'and' search?

[unadrift.livejournal.com]

Exactly. If there is a way to do an 'and' search, I haven't found out about it. I'd be happy if anyone could tell me how to pull that off!

[rasah.livejournal.com]

ah, phooey. i was really hoping that, for some bizarre and unknowable reason, you'd just randomly decided to only tell us about one and not the other... cause, you know, i'm nothing of not overly optimistic! i've been trying to figure out a way to search for 'and' tags for AGES!

maybe i should just ask one of the lj people... (i'll let you know if i find anything!!)

p.s. thanks so much for this com - i LOVE it!

That would be awesome.

And thanks!

heh, they got back to me... there's nothing at present, but it's being looked into - ANDing Suggestion (http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/541129.html) - not ETA though!

A challenge is an excellent idea! I will also go through my bookmarks when I return home and see if I can find a couple of more recs for episodes without fics. I'm sure I have some.

That would be awesome! And thank you for the enthusiasm!
