ante_up_losersNo poll this time - and no pressure! I know that there are Yuletide bears all over the place (and OMG the number of Losers pinch hits that have flown by in the last few days - we better get a few stories out of Yuletide), but I just wanted to gently nudge people to remind them that there's this great fest we're all in once things cool down after the end of the year.
So feel free to let it all loose in the comments! Talk about your bears or your project or your life or your frustrations, whatever you want!
If you're needing to default, please comment on the contact a mod post as comments are screened over there.
If you're not part of the fest but are feeling in a treat-making mood, I'll mention that the 2013 Scramble is open and point you to people's Dear Creator letters (feel free to add a link to your own letter in the comments if it's not there now - or write a quick comment outlining your likes and dislikes). In addition, there's The Losers tag over atfandom_stocking and the Yuletide complete list of prompts (besides Losers, there's Push, Luther, and other things our fave actors have been in - hat tip franzeska).
Also, speaking of treats, have some

http://archiveofourown.org/collections/yuletide2012/requests?page=306&sort_column=fandom&sort_direction=ASC
Lots o' Jensen/Cougar with a smattering of other requests. Who are all of you people and why are you asking in Yuletide when you could be doing Ante Up?!?! There are also some more obscure or fandom-lacking prompts for stuff Losers fans might like like The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond, Luther, and Push.

OMFG, HOW IS IT THE END OF DECEMBER ALREADY? I'm not ready for this. I have to actually do things now. And figure out how to write, because I've lost all of my mojo and steam. I have to create things for Ante Up! D: D: D: D: D:

Date: 2012-12-20 02:42 pm (UTC)I started my ante-up during mini-nano and wrote a good third of it
and haven't touched it since. But, I do plan on working on it over the holidays since I've gotten my festivids off to beta now. *cheers* I'm not sure I actually have a plot though, more of a set of scenes in search of one. I feel like placing a personal ad.Fandom stocking is a great place to make random bits of Losers stuff. I've not done any fics for it, I tend to stick with graphics and recs sort of thing.

Date: 2012-12-21 02:27 am (UTC)Graphics are terrific, and probably easier than fic, so you can do more of them for more folks. I think I'll try to do some recs - that's a great idea!

Date: 2012-12-20 05:26 pm (UTC)Oooh, Idris, oooh! I remember seeing those ads in the subway around here and wanting to take one home with me.

(Am I the only one ecstatic for Paccific Rim?)

Date: 2012-12-21 03:25 am (UTC)I've had success doing some graphics and a couple of things I'll probably gift in the scramble. BTW how does one get a Beta for graphics and how the hell does that work.

Date: 2012-12-21 09:02 pm (UTC)Why not go for both? I, personally, a fan of implausible plot bunnies, but I also love receiving graphics, so... *hands* I'm willing to soundboard with you on the plot bunny, if you think that might help.
