Art Movement: Outsider Art

Welcome the new year with a new challenge!

Sign up by leaving a comment in this post with your goal—make sure it's a challenge for you! It can be a word count, number of prompts, lists you want to finish, plotpoints you want to reach. Whatever keeps you happy and on your toes.

Sign-ups are open from now until January 15th. You will have until March 20th to complete your goal. Meeting your goal gets you twenty novelty beads, and exceeding your goal by one third or one quarter (whatever's easier to calculate) gets you five more.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask; in the comments, via PM, the Dial-a-Mod post, or the contact info listed there.

As a special bonus for this season's challenge, anyone posting a story in which a transsexual, transgender or otherwise gender non-conforming character is treated as well as any other characters will be rewarded by the mods.

~*~

The Sex Is Not The Enemy Ficathon will probably be on again this year. If the usual LJer doesn't post it, SWL will. Because she's SWL. And she likes that sort of thing. Anyway, signups likely start around the middle of this month.

~*~

Got any questions, novelty beads owed or general things you'd like to say? Post here and let me know.

My goal is to finish the five colors I currently have open: Alien Green, Azul, Or, Pineapple Yellow, and Wizard.

[shipwreck_light]

You can do it! I know you can :D.

"Posting a story in which a transsexual, transgender or otherwise gender non-conforming character"...?

(Verb may affect what I plan to do. :D)

[greenling]

Okay! Goals:

-Post a total of 8k words within the same plotline, for two plotlines.
-Plan and execute some kind of stand-alone romance thing in time for Valentine's Day.
-Finish that Prism Saturation I've been planning to do.
-Work my ass off and move out on my own in March

[shipwreck_light]

All excellent goals! I am rooting for you.

And thanks for pointing out my typo. I was summoned to the kitchen in the midst of posting. Much appreciated.

[serpentine]

My goal is to complete the bichrome of Candy Apple Red and Midnight that I'm in the middle of.

[shipwreck_light]

*high five* You shall be victorious!

[rootsofthestories]

Finish Halloween Orange and or write three different fics.

[shipwreck_light]

YES I BELIEVE IN YOU

[shadowsong26]

Hokay, here goes:

--Average three pieces a week.
--Finish at least one saturation, preferably one of the character study saturations I've had sitting in my folder for months...
--Finish the Criminal Minds crossover
--Participate in all challenges.

[shipwreck_light]

Yes.

YES.

Awesome goals are awesome. I wish you the best of luck with them.

[finch]

Actually post something! And figure out what colors I was working on so I can finish two. ALL OF THEM! I WILL FINISH ALL FOUR OUTSTANDING COLORS!

[shipwreck_light]

Yes.

This.

[crossfortune]

Five stories, because I've been failing at writing anything lately and I need to hop back onto the horse.

[shipwreck_light]

Why hello there! Lovely to see you.

I like your goals. They are reasonable and involve more YOU FIC :D.

[crossfortune]

I may have to adjust my goals upward given that I've made good progress on two long-stalled stories today.

[shipwreck_light]

Well! I only have one thing to say to that.

[crossfortune]

...yeah, I am definitely going to have to adjust my goal upward. Maybe eight stories.

Hi! I know it's been soooooo long right? I got sucked up into fandom and well you know how that goes XD

I have missed this place and my people and my boys! *squishes Sam and Ed*

I will!

That's alright you can get to the PBN when you want. :)

[balsamandash]

> Three stories.
> At least one mostly/entirely around a character I haven't posted a thing for yet.

That's it. Tiny goal is tiny but it's been a year. Tiny is something I can maybe do.

[bookblather]

-Five colors.
-Four mixed media.
-Three sketches or illustrations
-Two saturations.
-One paint by numbers.

I know it's not seasonal anymore but I feel like it.
