No True Pair

Are you ready? How 'bout it? XD

The only numbers are in the appropriate locations in the prompts, so you should be able to just find and replace them on your word processor of choice.

( Here they are! )

So? So? Did you get something wonderfully hilarious, brain-breaking, or inspiring that you'd like to share? Feel free to chat and mention some of your favorites here!

And if you still want to sign up, just head on over to the sign-up post and make your lists. If you already peeked at the prompts though, don't cheat! ^^; Tell me you signed up late and I'll mix the numbers up into a new order to keep things randomized for you.


Posting starts March 1st! Good luck and have fun!

The first rule of No True Pair is: have fun!
The second rule of No True Pair is: Suzume-mod always jumps the gun. (apparently not this time)
(The third rule of No True Pair is: talk about No True Pair- just in case you were wondering)

0TP Round Nine is officially open for sign-ups!

Sign-ups will run from now until February 11th!
(If you show up between February 12th & February 29th and ask me nicely, I'll probably let you join in anyway with the numbers on the prompts reshuffled, but it's better to get in early, right?)

February 12th: Prompts are revealed.
March 1st: Posting starts.

-----------


Comment here with your numbered list of eight characters for the February/March round of No True Pair. As per previous rounds:

- your list can contain characters from one fandom or different fandoms
- you may use your original characters
- you may have more than one list (as many as you like)
- you can also use less than eight characters -- simply repeat the same characters until you have a name next to every number
- every character in your list will have a prompt with every other one.

This is a low pressure challenge. Signing up does not obligate you to complete any fic/art.

I do hope that you will participate and I encourage you to invite your friends!!

(By the way, that last influx of posts was just delightful! I'll have the latest masterlist updated by the end of the day)

How's this year treating you so far?

So, how would you fine folks feel about sign-ups for the next round in the first half of February and posting in March? Can't wait that long? ^^; Too soon?


In any case, feel free to keep posting anything from round 8 you finished up late.

October's not over yet and what a great round this is turning out to be! :D

This is just a quick drive-by mod post to let you know I'll be out of the country and probably away from the internet from this evening until sometime on November 4th.

I'll compile the preliminary master list for this round when I get back (and catch up on whatever wonderful fanworks and tagging I've missed), but, like last time, feel free to continue writing/drawing for the prompts and posting what you've created up until sign-ups begin for our ninth round (sometime in early 2012)!

In any case, continue having fun!

Are you ready? I can't wait any longer...! XD

The only numbers are in the prompts, so you should be able to just find and replace them on your word processor of choice.

( Here you are...! )

0TP's 8th round will open for sign-ups on August 20th.

So, you'll be able sign up from August 20th through September 10th.

[This makes August 19th the last day you can post anything written/drawn for our last round. There's nothing here against doubling up on challenges, so if any of your past No True Pair prompts help inspire something for Kink Bingo or another challenge, please share your work here with us.]

The prompts will be revealed on September 11th.

And posting will begin on October 1st.

I look forward to seeing you then! In the meantime, best of luck with your current endeavors! :D

That's a (semi-)wrap!

A big thank you and congratulations go out to our wonderful participants thus far: takerzmuse, yoshitsune, mystiri_1, elanor_pam, becca_stareyes, bay_alexison, kunenk, and rinyula!

There was a great variety of art and fic posted! I want to encourage all of you to continue to post anything you write/draw for these prompts up until the beginning of sign-ups for the next round!

Post-wrap up total (as of 6/10/11): 46 posts of fic+/art. :D

Final total (currently 8/15/11- to be updated on the: 20th): 61 posts!

How are you doing? I'm making up a little ground...But just a little.. (Out of all the prompts I ended up with this round, I made up a list of 41 I wanted to fill somehow. I'm almost halfway there. Overambitious much? On the off chance you want to see what I plan on getting around to, check my journal.)

Anyway, let's talk about prompt wish fulfillment!

~If there were any two characters (whether you had them on your list or not) you could put into one of this round's prompts, who would they be and with which prompt?

~Are there any pairings/match-ups this round of No True Pair provided you with that you don't plan on writing/drawing, but you'd love to see someone else tackle?

~Any other dream scenarios? Some character(s)/fandom(s) you've fallen in love with since your sign-up that you think would've played well here?

(I'll save my answers for a comment.)

Hey! How's everyone doing? I...well, I know I'm going to be taking full advantage of the amnesty days at the end of the month (and maybe on into May, heh heh). Because of other writing commitments, I didn't get a very good head start in March and some of these stories are getting a bit lengthier than expected now...
