Cordelia: You have to change the way you've been doing things. Don't you see where this is taking you?
Wesley: Listen to her. Right now, the three of us are all that's standing between you and real darkness.
Gunn: You best believe that man.
Angel: I do. You're all fired.

Hi, I'm sorry for putting this here, but I don't really know where to pimp something like this. We at darker_spike are involved in a first: we have joined forces with the Fang Fetish Awards (http://www.athenewolfe.com/fangfetish/) for their round three to do a special challenge for writers who like dark stories. They are being judged both on darker_spike which is a closed community only for those over 18, but you can also enter directly by nominating to the Fang Fetish Awards a work written for this challenge. It is not necessary to be a member of DS to take part.

Because our community is locked, I can't give a direct link, so I am going to copy and paste athenewolfe's challenge here and any questions about the challenge can be asked on her lj, or in email at the Fang Fetish site:

A Joint Challenge from Darker_Spike and Fang Fetish Awards:

A Spike centric challenge to show a writer's skill at playing on the dark side. The fic should be set between season one of BTVS to ten years post NFA.

The Challenge: "5 ways in which Spike's lover becomes a vampire"

Your choice on who, why and if it was out of love, hate or a combination of both. The challenge requirements are to find creative ways to vamp the character(s). It could be five short drabbles, five short stories, five different universes, heck it could be five different characters. The central elements are Spike, vamping, and the number five. Anything your creative and dark mind can come up with will be fun!

All eligible fiction or drabbles, in addition to being judged on DS, will be entered into Round Three of Fang Fetish Awards. However, you MUST provide a link to the fiction that is not on DS, (i.e. not friend-locked lj post or an archive) for FFA.

Ficathon will run from May 1st to May 31st.

That's it. It's a total first that an lj community and an award site do something like this, and I think it's kind of cool. If you'd like to put it in to inform anyone wanting to take part who isn't a member of DS, that would be great. DS won't be judging the entries not posted on our site, but folks entering them who are not members, would be judged in round three of the Fang Fetish awards. Details about entering the challenge are in the rules and categories for round three of FFA.

jan, mod, DS.

Hey babe. I would be happy to include this information in my thursday post, but is there a link, any link I could use? I'm not going to copy/paste all of that into a edition of the herald.

Thanks for the info, it does sound like a great idea.

*hugs*
