Challenges and Amnesty

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.

~*~

Amnesty Week

Is a little more than a week this season. You have until April 1st to finish and post material from any challenge which is otherwise closed (including old special colors like Summertime Blues).

~*~

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!
