Discovered Under The Mistletoe is our Pros Christmas-Winter-Solstice challenge. If you'd like to participate (please, please do!) then all you need to do is choose a date, and then post something Pros-y and somehow seasonal on that day! And it doesn't have to be Christmas-y, it could just be winter-ish, or it could be related to one of the other festivals (even in the 1970s/80s there were people in the UK who would have been concerned with Hajj, for example). It might be inspired by [info]empty_mirrors' gorgeous banner, or not. It might even be completely anti-Christmas (although a passing reference to fit into the comm would be nice)! Or it could just be a present offered to any Pros fans passing through the comm…

The hope is that people will receive something Pros in their flist (or by visiting the comm.) every day leading up to Christmas, and even through and to the New Year! Obviously the more people who take part the better it will be, and the more days we will have something posted. Feel free to choose more than one day as well – though if you do it might be nice to space them apart a little! It'd be great if we could cover most of December, right?

It doesn't have to be fic that's posted either (though that's always brill, obviously), it could be art, or icons or other graphics of course, but it could also be something completely different. Always wanted to set up your own Pros trivia quiz? Explain your version of how the lads would spend Christmas and why? Start a discussion about why Bodie adores winter and Doyle doesn't? Make up a Pros crossword puzzle? Post that scan you have of a pic no one else would see otherwise? Erm… stuff!

As ever, we're happy to post for you, if you'd rather not do it yourself for any reason (such as Christmas being a hugely busy time for many people!) And if you'd like to offer "extra content" that can be slotted into days nobody has claimed that would be greatly received as well! Contact either one of us via the email addresses on the User Info page.

Please sign up as soon as possible (so that we can organise for whatever days appear to be empty etc) but feel free to sign up any time the comm is running – if you're suddenly inspired on 16th December to post on the 17th, and it's still an empty day, then comment below and go for it!

To sign up, please comment below with the date/s you would like to post or have your work/creation posted. We will then snag your icon (if that's okay!) to block off those day/s for you on the calendar. Then all you need to do is post on that day! And the icons on the calendar will then also become links to your post!

And finally – this is a much bigger page than usual, if it's messing up anybody's flist, or you're on dial-up and it's too slow, please tell us and we'll put it under a cut after all. It's just that the calendar is so pretty… *g*

Editing my post to say I reread the instructions - lol.... I'll take December 7th and the 31st.

[info]byslantedlight

November 7 2006, 23:13:51 UTC 5 years ago

Excellent! The 7th and 31st it is! [info]empty_mirrors is even now rushing to block off your dates... *g*

I know I'll probably regret it...

...but deadlines are good for me, so may I nab 6 January if nobody else has?

Love the idea of our very own advent calendar. And a new story (or picture, or songvid...) to look forward to every day of the season. What a treat!

Hi!!! Can I have the first of December?

And look! I made a special icon just for this!

[info]byslantedlight

November 8 2006, 00:09:29 UTC 5 years ago

The first it is - hee, now we need to fill in all the gaps in between the first and last date of the calendar!!

And hee - can I have one of those for Christmas too?

I'd like the 12th of December, please. It's my birthday, so I might as well work for it, right? *g*

[info]byslantedlight

November 8 2006, 01:02:18 UTC 5 years ago

Oh, excellent thing to do on your birthday! There should be more people thinking like that, we'd soon have the world sorted... *g* The twelfth is all yours!

December 17th it is, yeay! And happy birthday in advance, just in case I forget then! [info]empty_mirrors will bags it for you with your icon - just as soon as she wakes up, I'm sure. *prods co-mod* *gets sore finger* Well, it is just a computer screen...

Little more than a month away and I know my longer story is in no way going to be ready for this challenge. But I'd love to contribute something. May I have the 29th? Thanks ever so. :-)

[info]byslantedlight

November 9 2006, 01:59:11 UTC 5 years ago

You most certainly can! Yeay!

[info]byslantedlight

November 9 2006, 07:59:59 UTC 5 years ago

G'morning, sunshine...! Since it's all slowed down, and no one's nabbed it, could I have the 22nd December please? And could you please use the When Love icon? Thank you!

[info]empty_mirrors

November 9 2006, 10:26:26 UTC 5 years ago

All done, me dear.

[info]faramir_boromir

It's official: I'm certifiable. Give me New Year's Day, thanks.

[info]byslantedlight

November 10 2006, 05:52:36 UTC 5 years ago

We like that. The you-having-New-Years-Day bit, not necessarily the...*g* It's all yours - I shall set [info]empty_mirrors to snag your day on the calendar as soon as she's back in her morning!

[info]madmogs

November 10 2006, 10:36:32 UTC 5 years ago

Can you spare me the twenty-third, please? And I'm certifiable anyway.

[info]empty_mirrors

November 10 2006, 11:37:55 UTC 5 years ago

Hee. All spared and iconned up.

[info]kiwisue

November 10 2006, 11:24:50 UTC 5 years ago

OK - give me "Feast of St Stephen's" - aka 26th Dec :-)

Boxing Day is yours. :D

With her arm jammed firmly up her back, she cries,
'I'll do it, I'll do it! Okay? Please, just leave me alone.'

Did you ever feel press-ganged into anything? LOL

Put me down for the 27th please. I have no idea what-so-ever what I am going to do. So it will be a surprise to me too....lol

Joking - I'm doing this willingly.

[info]byslantedlight

November 11 2006, 17:21:50 UTC 5 years ago

*g* But... I only mentioned it! A couple of times... *g*

The 27th is all yours!

I'll take the 2nd if I may? Gives me loads of time to do something. If I can think up decent icons, I may just nab another date, but I'll let you know about that!

[info]byslantedlight

November 11 2006, 20:56:29 UTC 5 years ago

2nd January is all yours!! Yeay! And another date would be fab if you get the chance, just let us know!

Yeay! Someone bold and brave and festive and... and... and presumably also in front of her pc on Christmas day *g* Excellent - the 25th is all yours. I shall set [info]empty_mirrors at your icon as soon as she wakes up.

[info]myrebelcat

November 13 2006, 13:20:20 UTC 5 years ago

I just thought of something else I can offer - since you said it can be anything, not necessarily a story.

So, I'll take December 4th!

(Though, if all the spots fill up, I'll be happy to cede this one to someone else...)

I'll take 18 Dec, which should give me time to come up with something. My longer story's completely stalled, so a break from it would no doubt be A Good Thing, apart from the fact that I'm bored with it, so a nice Christmas themed something will make a change!

[info]empty_mirrors

November 13 2006, 14:33:45 UTC 5 years ago

Yey, changes are always good. The 18th is yours, me dear. :D

[info]byslantedlight

Oh, yeah, no sorry, don't want any more... yes! Yes please! The fourth is all yours! And go you as well - everything else and you're after another date too? You really are on the best writing roll in the world *g*
