2009 DCU Fic/Art Glitter Winter Holidays Challenge!!!

[bradygirl_12]

The theme of this Challenge is pretty simple: winter holidays and glitter! That includes Thanksgiving, Yule, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, New Year’s, and any other holiday you can fit in or create yourself (Festivas, anyone?) ;) !

But the glitter?



Follow the pixie dust! ;)

The complete Master List is here.

The requirements for this Challenge? Your creative work (which include fanfic, fanart, icons, manips, wallpapers, fanmixes, etc.) must focus on or use a winter holiday as a backdrop.

‘Holiday setting’ can include Thanksgiving dinner, decorating the Christmas tree, a Yule ritual, New Year’s ball, etc. There’s so many things that can be done with the holidays! Hey, if you want to have your characters sitting around complaining about writing out Christmas cards, go ahead! ;)

The glitter? You must include something glittery, sparkly, shimmering…that means a Christmas tree, a single ornament, New Year’s gowns, jewelry…anything that looks pretty! And shines! Sequins, sparkles, spangles, pixie dust…LOL! I do see Dick Grayson getting some luv from this Challenge! ;)

Your glittery object or effect can be the focus of your work or a secondary item. Indulge your inner sparkle! :)

So, there are your requirements: some kind of holiday setting and sparkly stuff! ;)

Posting dates: November 1, 2009-January 1, 2010

The usual suspects:

Genre: Sure, warm ‘n’ sappy comes to mind, but if your Muses want to do hurt/comfort, drama, etc., go for it! AUs are definitely welcome! Humor, romance, cracky goodness…it’s all good! J

Pairings (or threesomes, etc. ;) ): Slash, femslash, het, gen

Continuity: Comicsverse, movieverse, ‘toonverse, Tvverse (Smallville, Wonder Woman, Batman, The Adventures of Superman, etc.) Cross-overs with other fandoms welcome as long as the DCU gets equal 'screen time'.

Rating: G all the way through to NC-17

Please post the link to your work here on this page and I’ll compile a Master List.

Remember, I encourage cross-challenging, so if you can fit your work into more than one Challenge, go for it!

Does glittering snowflakes count??? How about eyes?

[saavikam77.livejournal.com]

Do candles count for the 'glitter' portion of the fic?

*feels a serious bunny coming on, even if it'll be short* ^_~
