Earth Day: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle

[rainbowmods]

In honor of Earth Day, April 22, we're celebrating with the three Rs: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.

Reduce a Portrait or Mural to a Miniature.

Reuse something you posted previously as a Retouch.

Recycle someone else's fic.

Reducing a fic earns you a Novelty Bead. Reusing one earns one Novelty Bead, plus one per thousand words. Both of these are due on April 22.

Recycling is a little different. For six days, until April 22, we're holding signups in the comments. On Earth Day, we'll randomly assign another author to you. You then have until April 29 to post a remixed version of one of your assigned author's fics. Take one of their fics and rewrite it. There's no minimum length requirement. If you choose to sign up for this one, please bear in mind that any author may be assigned to your fic; you should be comfortable with the idea of anyone playing in your sandbox. That said, you may specify anything that's off-limits. If you have multiple universes, you can allow just one or two, or if you have specific pieces you don't want touched, you can say as much in your comment. We'll make sure your assigned author sees it. Recycling earns you one Novelty Bead for participation and another per thousand words.

All these also count as Graffiti. We'll have a roundup post on April 30.

Have fun! We're looking forward to seeing what you do.
