The picking of the prompts comes soon!

d and g hopeful
All prompts are in for the fic exchange, and now the fun REALLY begins for the mods. πŸ˜‰ We’ll spend the next couple of days organizing the prompts into tables. Then, at midnight on the 14th, the tables will go up in an LJ post!! (Midnight by whose clock and which time zone? We’re still working that one out. There will be more info soon.) So if you’ve turned in a prompt, please watch for those. First come, first served…

And thanks to EVERYONE who submitted a prompt! This is going to be a great D/G fic exchange.

I really like this prompt, although it’s getting to the point where a manga/comic strip format would work better. (And yes, Smith Micro ALSO makes Manga Studio 5. I’ve been kind of thinking about using that, but it will definitely have to wait until after the exchange is over!)

DAY 10 of the Fic Exchange

Hey all,

So today is ABSOLUTELY THE LAST DAY to get your prompts in. If you’ve been waiting, wait no more!! Prompt picking will be on the 14th, so this is your LAST chance to turn in your own prompt. And then the FIA D/G Fic Exchange A-GoGo of 2013/14 will begin. πŸ™‚

This really is my absolute favorite out of the ten pics. And remember, I TOLD y’all that this was rated I for Innuendo. πŸ˜‰

Day NINE of the D/G Fic Exchange!

Hey all,

It’s Day 9, and y’all, we are getting down to the wire. If you’ve been thinking about sending in a prompt for the fic exchange, THIS is the time. If you already have sent yours in, then now is the time to convince someone else! We can only do this with YOUR help!

And BTW… this HAS to be my favorite pic so far. πŸ˜‰ Just use your imagination about how Draco got there.

The D/G Fic Exchange on FIA: DAY SEVEN!

Hey all,

That’s right, it’s Day 7 of our fic exchange! We’ve turned the corner to being more than halfway done with this part, and y’all, we need more prompts. We are currently at 16 prompts submitted. This is great… but we have a long way to go! The 2010 exchange had 51 prompt entries. So now is the time to get yours in!!

And then, the essay went away.

Hey all, Remember that essay? “Why D/G Matters and Always Will?”

Well, I’ve been trying to get that entire thing posted, because I think we really need a modern D/G manifesto on FIA… it’s important and…

The entire folder containing it just disappeared from a USB drive.

(cries)

(rages at the universe)

I’m going to see a computer expert I know on Monday. There may be a way to save it. For now… it may be a while before the rest of the essay comes out.Little Girl Crying with Tears

Day SIX of the FIA D/G Exchange!!!

We’re halfway through as of today. You know what that means… if you don’t already have your prompt in at dgfics @gmail.com, this would be a good day! πŸ™‚ (Why is there a space in the email addy? Because of spammers everywhere. That’s why.)

THIS pic was a LOT of work. I’m not even going to say how much time I spent on it, but it shows just how much post you have to do in Photoshop sometimes.

So get in that prompt! πŸ˜‰

Day 4 of the Exchange!!

And we’re on DAY 4!!! Almost halfway through. Send in your prompt today. πŸ™‚ (Well, unless you already have. I really like this pic, and it didn’t drive me as nuts as some of the others!) Poor Draco and his lonely dragon.

Day THREE of the FIA D/G Fic Exchange!!

Yep, y’all, we’re entering on Day 3 of the FIA D/G Exchange A-GoGo of 2013/14.
There’s been a great response, and we already have even more prompts. I’m not going to promise a new pic EVERY day, but for now, let’s enjoy it while it lasts. :)As always, click on the pic above to get to the LJ link.

I really, really like this pic. The idea of using the Lego Ogre figure just kind of came to me in a moment of inspiration… πŸ˜‰

The D/G Fic Exchange: Now on its second big day!
