New challenge coming right up!

Our new challenge is our ninth

AMNESTY

During amnesty challenges, you can post works for any of the challenges we've had to date:

The Lost Hour, Triangle, Anywhere But Here, Stages, Five Things, Do-Over, Genre, Drag, Communication, Self-Portrait, Breakfast, Performance Anxiety, Double, Role Reversal, Win or Lose, Old Friends, Mythology, Wire, Cliché, Secrets, Borrowed Title, School, Ghosts and Gore, Warmth, Interruptions, Solitary, Apology, Season, Masks, Elusive or Ephemeral, Introductions, Diamonds and Pearls, The Other Side, Purgatory, Horoscope, Candles, Not What It Looks Like, Games, Comfort, Teaching, Technology, Dangling, Kids, Silver Lining, Stuck, Spicy, Bruise, Entertaining

Of course, you're always welcome to post multiple works to any challenge if you finish them before the challenge closes, but that isn't always possible. So dust off those unfinished works and half-formed ideas -- now is the time! Please include the challenge you are posting for in the subject line of your post (ie: Secrets Challenge: Teenwolf: Vid: Secret Agent Wolf).

Each work created for this challenge should be posted as a new entry to the comm. Posting starts now and continues up until the challenge ends at 4 p.m. PST on Sunday, September 1st. No sign-up required.

Mods will tag your work with fandom, media and challenge. When you've posted entries to three consecutive challenges, you will earn a name tag, and we'll go back and tag all your previous entries with your name.

All kinds of fanworks in all fandoms are welcome. Please have a look at our guidelines before you play.

Also, down suggested our newest bonus mode for badge earning: Medalling Up. Once you've earned a Skills Training or Miscellaneous badge with the usual requirements, you can go on to earn the Silver Medal version of the same badge by doubling its requirements. Triple the requirements to earn Gold! The new and shinier versions of the badges will look something like the samples below:



ETA: The works you posted to earn the ordinary version of each badge DO count toward the total required to earn silver and gold, but all of the additional works will need to have been posted after this announcement's date...UNLESS you make a post in this challenge. If you do, we will allow you to bring forward one previously posted work to Medal Up in the future.

If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact a mod. And if you have any suggestions for future challenges, you can leave them in the comments of this post. \o/
