Sign up here for the dS/C6D tag game!

[luzula]

Okay, this is the sign-up post!

Sign up by commenting on this post or this one. If there's a particular time when you don't want to be tagged, just say so. I will edit the post so there's a list of all participants.

I'll start it off on Monday by tagging someone and giving them a one-word prompt. When you're tagged, you make a dS/C6D fanwork of some kind within 24 hours: a fic, a podfic, a piece of art, a picspam, recs, meta, etc, and post it somewhere (your own journal or elsewhere) and link to it either at ds_noticeboard or at duesouth (don't post the work itself to these comms, though.) You can use the prompt if you want inspiration, or ignore it. If you want, you can make your work ahead of time. If you get tagged and you're swamped that day, just pass on the tag to someone else (don't forget to pass the prompt on, too).

When you've posted, tag someone who hasn't been tagged yet with a prompt by replying to their sign-up comment, which will be either on this post or on this one. Try to make the prompt reasonably open to interpretation--for example, a word like "spring" would be good, while a more narrow word like "cellphone" might make the promptee feel too constrained. I will cross people off as we go, and at the end, I'll make an index post, so you don't miss anything even if you don't follow both comms.

Taggable participants:

ride_4ever (do not tag on Monday)

If it's good for creativity to go outside one's comfort zone, this is gonna be GREAT for me...'cause when it comes to "speed" writing I'm about as fast as RayK's turtle...but here goes, 'cause I <3 C6D and don't want to be left out of games with my fellow C6D'ers.

Best times to tag me : a Friday night, a Saturday morning or night. Worst time to tag me : day or night on a Thursday.

Let's play!

[bghost.livejournal.com]

Okeydokey... I'm in. :)

[malnpudl.livejournal.com]

Tag! You're it!

Your prompt, should you choose to use it, is "sign."

[ride-4ever.livejournal.com]

Ah. Time zones. I ought to say "Best times to tag me : a Friday night, a Saturday morning or night. Worst time to tag me : day or night on a Thursday" CENTRAL STANDARD TIME, USA.

[wihluta.livejournal.com]

I want to play! I can't play Tuesday-Friday this week (HONG KONG!!!!! \o/) but I'm happy to go last(ish). If there's not enough people to make this work, no worries, I'll play next time. :)

(Won't be able to go first because of timezones. My Tuesday is your Monday). ;)

[luzula]

Hi, I'm tagging you! I'm passing on mizface's prompt of "fall" to you, should you want to use it.

[wihluta.livejournal.com]

Got it! :D

[how-obscure.livejournal.com]

I'm in, and any day should be good for me. Well, actually, I think I have plans on Wednesday so maybe not Wednesday.

[wihluta.livejournal.com]

Have to pass on my tag, because it's not Friday yet, so:

your prompt (from mergatrude) is 'seasons'. Happy creating!

[how-obscure.livejournal.com]

Thanks, got it!

[sl_walker]

I'm in.

[how-obscure.livejournal.com]

Tag--you're it!

Prompt: record

[sl_walker]

Thanks! I'll see what I can do.

[hsavinien.livejournal.com]

Monday's not good, Friday's not great, anything else should be doable. Cheers.

[wihluta.livejournal.com]

Tag! Your turn: Prompt, if you want to use it: heat :)

[spuffyduds.livejournal.com]

I'm in! I think any day is doable, for me.

[bghost.livejournal.com]

Boo!

tag, you're it. (For Wednesday,)

Prompt... "Boo."

[spuffyduds.livejournal.com]

Got the tag, thank you! :)

[sage]

I'm in! No idea what I'll make, but I'm in!

I'm going to be unavailable May 2 and 3, but I'll be around the rest of the time.

[ride-4ever.livejournal.com]

I'm a total newbie to the fannish tag games. When tagged, what starts the 24-hour clock running? The moment your name is posted as tagged, or the moment you acknowledge you've been tagged? (...'cause I'm wondering, if it's the moment the tag is posted and you don't see it for some hours because of time zone differences, well, you DON'T have 24 hours to post your fanworks.)

[sage]

Good question! I don't know, as I'm not modding this one, but Luzula will be able to tell us!

[luzula]

The way it's been done in the tags I've been in before, it's 24 hours from the time you've been tagged (not from the time you see it). And we'll do it that way here too. If you don't see it because of time zone differences, it's probably because you were sleeping, and that still means you have the whole day after that.

But if you're tagged and discover it late and end up being all panicked by it because you don't have time that day, just pass the tag on! It's not the end of the world. Also, no one will be upset if you post something a little bit late. The goal is to have fun, after all. : )

Or you could make something ahead of time if you want. Personally, I have a back-up idea, but I'm waiting until I get my tag to see if the prompt sparks something. If not, I can always go with my back-up plan.

[sage]

EDIT! My plans on May 3rd have poofed, so I'm taggable May 2-3 after all. \o/

[sl_walker]

In that case... tag, you're it! XD

[sage]

awesome, any particular prompt?

[sl_walker]

Hm. I knew I forgot something. How about... 'Edge'

[sage]

Oooh, okay! *ponders*

[bonspiel.livejournal.com]

I am game, sign me up!

I still don't understand how the tagging the next person thing will work, though. Do we just pick someone randomly from the list you will assemble?

[luzula]

Yay!

And yes, that's what you do. Pick someone randomly from the list (which you can find on this post and the Dreamwidth one) and tag them by commenting on their sign-up comment (which will be on either of the two posts). I'll cross people off as we go, so you can see which people haven't been tagged yet. Oh, and also, try to take into account what people say about when they don't want to be tagged. : )

[mizface.livejournal.com]

Tag - you're it! And the prompt (if you want to use it) is "fall"

[luzula]

Hi! Maybe you missed the tag? Anyway, you're almost six hours overtime, so I'm passing the tag on. No problem, though--you can just wait to be tagged again. : )

[bonspiel.livejournal.com]

Missed it, sorry. I'm not usually online on Sundays. I'll wait for my next chance.

[hsavinien.livejournal.com]

I tag you! Hope it's a better day this time. Your totally optional non-obligatory prompt is "ask".

[bonspiel.livejournal.com]

Got it - off to have a think!

[ride-4ever.livejournal.com]

I was hoping to get tagged on Friday or Saturday or Sunday. I have a Monday appt with ophthamologist and will be having a procedure done that will affect my vision for at least that day, so possibly I won't be on the Net at all on Monday...and as I said on the first post in this thread, I hope that when my tag comes it's a Friday or Saturday or Sunday.

[luzula]

Someone just got tagged, and including that person we've still got five people to go, so not to worry! I'll edit the list to say that you don't want to be tagged on Monday. And if you don't feel up to it on Tuesday either, just pass the tag on if you get tagged, and you can go last.

[ride-4ever.livejournal.com]

TYK, m'dear!

[bonspiel.livejournal.com]

I am hoping that you are up for being tagged now - your prompt, should you desire it, is "heat."

[ride-4ever.livejournal.com]

*iz tagged*

I'm currently writing the ending for my fan_flashworks fic that has a deadline of tomorrow, then I'll jump on your "heat" prompt and have TWO fics for posting tomorrow.

*does happy adrenaline-junkie dance*

[ride-4ever.livejournal.com]

I wrote to your prompt, "heat," and got it done just now (wrote it during my coffee-breaks and dinner-break at work). I just need a little more time to get home from work to post it from my PC, and then tag the next player.
