Turnbull Love in March

[sl_walker]

As everyone likely knows by now, kalijean and I are quite big fans of Renfield Turnbull. So, standing upon the platform of that love, we would like to make a potentially fun, charitable event out of it!

Welcome to the Month of Turnbull. Grab your favorite country music, snuggle your stuffed husky and most of all, have fun! For every completed task, we will donate one V-gift (on LJ), from your favorite charity, to you or your designated recipient. If you're on Dreamwidth, you can still possibly participate by naming the LJ user who will be in receipt of the gift. So, not only does this have potential for loving on a Mountie, but you can also help charity in the meantime!

The qualifications for one donation are as follows:

7 pieces of feedback for any new or existing Turnbull stories, where he's the star, of twenty-five or more words, or 4 pieces of detailed feedback, going in depth, of at least seventy-five words. More is better, though!

500+ word story, starring Turnbull; any pairing, any rating. Feel free to go longer, though -- you can never have too much Turnbull. XD Or, you can write one Turnbull-starring snippet for ds_snippets and one starring whoever you want, just to get some activity going there!

20 icons, again starring Turnbull, in a set. Sharable, if possible, with the greater community!

1 piece of Turnbull fanart, detailed sketch quality or better. Need not be colored.

If you need help, you can find a number of past stories at The Collected Stories: Redux, you can browse his AO3 tag, or you can go to Google!

Then, once you've completed your task, please link to your feedbacks, stories, icons or artworks here in the comments of this post. There's no upper limit (currently) on how much you can do, so if you feel like going further for charity, go for it!

Spread the love for Turnbull, donate to charity and add to the creative tapestry of fandom, all in one go! Hope to see you there!

Here is another one for you... it's based on a poem by Mervyn Peake, "Sensitive Seldom and Sad," which for some reason seemed just right for Turnbull.

I'll be posting it to AO3 just as soon as the site is working again.

Sensitive Solitudes

Simple, seldom and sad
Am I;
Alone in the consulate lands
Afar,
With sweet mad Yearnings
Sad and
Strangely beautiful
So I'm told
By the Creatures that Move
In the Sky
And Die
In the night when the Filing Cabinets
Release their rattling leaves and cry.

Sensitive, seldom and sad -
Sensitive, seldom and sad -

Simple, seldom and sad
Am I
When I take my path
Down the carpeted halls -
With mad, sweet Expressions
Of yore,
Strangely beautiful,
Yea, and more
In the cloistered nights
When my box
Conceals
My ragged heart, and my dreams revealed
Prance and cry,
And never die,
Beneath the coffee coloured sky
Here am I

sensitive, seldom and sad -
sensitive, seldom and sad.

Wow. O.O I like it! It has a neat rhythm to it, and it's a great addition to this challenge!

Oh, wow. Poems are so hard to write, so we'd love to offer another v-gift for this one. What charity would you like?

Rhino? And this poem was made a little bit easier because I pinched from the best.

I love writing poetry... I might try and write a completely independant one at some point... Humm. I'm thinking some kind of a love poem from Turnbull's point of view...

Paid for ♥

Ooh... I'd love to see what shakes loose :D
