Outsider Art Is Now Concluded

Did you meet your goals, ficcers? If so, you should tell me about how awesome you are so that you can get your beads.

Please also let me know if you posted anything to which this special seasonal goal applied: 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.

New Challenge: Les XX

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 April 1st. You will have until June 21st 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.

This season's bonus challenge? Spring cleaning! Finish a color that's been pending for more than a year for five musical novelty beads OR use up previous novelty beads during this season. In with the new! OK, and the person who uses the most novelty beads gets a surprise. I can't tell you what it is because it's still hiding under my bed amidst the dust bunnies. Get cleaning!

Sex Is Not The Enemy Ficathon Did Not Run This Year

So, we're doing something for SWL's Birthday, which is at the end of April. Prepare yourselves. There will also be a small event at the end of May and that should take us right up to our infamous summer festivities.

I posted twelve stories and went over my revised goal of eight stories. I'm debating whether or not either of my stories with trans characters count - since both Lilia and Myca Valeth are/end up dead due to other plot reasons.

I'm going to say six stories for this next challenge: it's papers season, or starting to be.

*salutes* You bet and looking forward to it! Your novelty beads will be available soon, probably tomorrow.

Imma give you extra for your trans characters because plot is an inevitable cause of death.

And five bonus beads for each gender-variant character!
