ADMIN POST: The Mission Report Challenge

[cesperanza.livejournal.com]

Okay, this comes from an idea by nudaydreamer and it's like, three--three!--cool challenges in one! As she puts it:

I'd love to see a Mission Report Challenge. We all know some crazy shit happens on those other worlds, and authors could choose to a) write a (pornalicious?) Report That Will Never Actually Be Filed Because Elizabeth Would Freak Out And Such, b) write a euphemistically suggestive report that leaves those of us with dirty minds quite clear on what happened, without being explicit, or possibly c) take another author's story and write a report of type a or b for it.

Everybody got that? See, it's kind of a Document Challenge and it's kind of a Remix and it's kind of Classified and Porny--or not; it's a festival, really. Now to clarify about option c)--if you choose to write a mission report of somebody else's story, we'll ask you to credit them, but we won't require you to ask their permission Edited to add: and get their permission, or check the links below. HOWEVER, if you want to opt OUT of option c)--i.e. tell people that they can't write a mission report of your story or stories, even with credit--please leave a comment in this post ASAP. Edited to add: link to new opt-out post below! We WILL ask challenge respondents to check before posting that the writer hasn't opted out of the challenge. Edited to add: Merryish reminds me to say that it is, of course, perfectly acceptable to write a mission report on one of your own stories!

It's August 21st; stories will be due on Monday, September 4th, Labor Day, at midnight.

Now I would like to write a story where a crazy alien invents a, um, photon ray that destroys all material but leather and the crew is forced to wear nothing but leather for the rest of their lives, lest they be embarassed by their public nudity.

I would so read that!

I would actually prefer Martin Gero to write that, so we could SEE it.

Mmmm, Lorne in leather.

I *so* love the way you think! ;-)

We should write Martin Gero a letter. He seems like a perfectly reasonable guy.

What's your spoiler policy, by the by? Because there are some pictures from an up-and-coming episode that I think you might enjoy...

I don't mind spoilery pictures, as they tend to give me something to look forward to.

It's when people post rumors/spoilers about actual content of plots that gets to me. I like to enjoy the episodes (or not) without being tainted before hand.

This isn't really spoilery at all, I was just being careful :)
