ds_team_romanceWhee! We're getting close, we're getting warmed up, and we're going to rock this thing.
1. The drabble tree is awesome, but needs you and your genius to make it fuller and bushier and verdant and all. We've tended to the wonderfully longish so far, but writing of any length is very welcome. Also, where's the Fraser/Vecchio love?
2. At this comm, most pimpable stuff (interview memes, drabble tree) should be open and most squee and plotting and seekrit discussions should be flocked. You guys are encouraged to post, suggest topics of discussion, add Team Romance art, or any such participatory action.
3. We need backup writers on our team! Backup writers are awesome because, on the extremely tiny and improbable chance that anybody can't make their fic deadline, a backup writer could already have fic written for that prompt. If no such need arises, we get to enjoy their fic at the end of the challenge. Seriously, WHAT is better than that? Feel free to poke your friends in the ribs until they volunteer to be backup writers for Team Romance.
4. Anybody who hasn't already introduced themself at the first getting to know you post can do so in this post, as can anybody who is or wants to be a backup writer. Hi! *beckons*
The getting to know you questions are
1. While engaged in goodnatured team rivalry, I seem to have unilaterally decided that Dief is our team mascot. Dief the matchmaker, Dief the florist, Dief the sweet-toothed. What do you think? Alternative suggestions accepted with glee.
2. How long have you been writing in due South?
3. Do you usually write romantic fic, would you say?
4. On a scale from A LOT to OMG SO MUCH to EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, how much do our boys love each other?
5. Will we destroy Team Angst with kindness, porniness, sweetness, or humor? Will we bring them to their knees with the power of love?
6. Oh, and how about posting a link to your fic? Share your work with the rest of us.
In conclusion, the competition will be fierce, but Team Romance has LOVE and KISSING on its side. We're going to kick some angsty ass. *beams*

Date: 2007-09-21 03:14 am (UTC)Look, questions!
1. Does that mean we don't get the turtle? I also like the turtle.
2. Um...since operation lost zebra.
3. Yes'm. I heart happy endings.
4. ohmygodtheyloveeachothersomuchthattheirlovemustbeexpressedwithoutspaces
5. Fucking A.
6. Oh man, I'm too lazy for that right now. Check my journal for today's date and you'll find 2/3 of the fic I've written. Go go if you wish.

I might be a bit pleased about that.

Date: 2007-09-21 10:44 pm (UTC)You know that Other Team wanted the turtle? Crazy, man. The turtle is clearly our secondary mascot, for when Dief ate too much and needs a nap.
It's wonderful to have you with us! YAY fic! ♥

Date: 2007-09-22 09:35 am (UTC)So thanks for that snippet of information. Very useful. There needs to be more florist!Dief fic *nods*.
I will try and bring some F/V fic to the tree at the moment I am just awfully confused by it ;-)

Date: 2007-09-21 11:18 am (UTC)Also, we need a romantic soundtrack! Team Angst already has one, and is working on a SECOND one. We cannot allow this! Romantic, sexy, porny songs? We need those!!

Date: 2007-09-22 03:36 am (UTC)Feel free to jump in and play anywhere you like. The drabble tree, brainstorming, the sneaky plan of seekritness, an introductory comment here, all of these would be fantastic. *twirls you*

Date: 2007-09-22 01:44 am (UTC)1. Dief wins.
2. Been writing for... 2 years now. Although my output hasn't exactly been prolific.
3. My writing so far has involved romance. And porn. There's always room for porn.
4. EE x 10 to the 34th?
5. It'll just be obvious! The general happy, feel-good, love-dovey-ness will obviously triumph over the dark, black soul-destroying pit of angst and despair. And we have Dief.
6. OK: here's some porn (http://community.livejournal.com/stop_drop_porn/14850.html), and the first dS fic I ever wrote (http://community.livejournal.com/ds_flashfiction/364487.html), two years ago...

Date: 2007-09-22 06:25 pm (UTC)1. Dief is the god of love. And donuts.
3. *admires your philosophy*
I'm so happy to have you on the team! This team RULES.
Hello!
Date: 2007-09-22 06:26 pm (UTC)1 - Dief for sure!
2 - Not too long. Maybe a year. I've only written three stories (so far).
3 - Romance. Schmoop. Mini-woe, but only to make the schmoop pop. And of course, porn.
4 - Infinity 'EEE'
5 - Happy!Porn always wins out over Emo!Porn. And we will win with grace and humility - Fraser would expect nothing less :)
6 - The journal is still in the 'pretty-me-up' stage, but my three fics can be found at

Well, maybe. *pokes around for grace and humility*

Date: 2007-09-24 10:34 am (UTC)I so wish I could play, but if I did, I'd have to be like, very last on the back-up writer totem poll, because I've only ever written.. um, "two" dS stories. And even that is.. complicated. XD
But I'm very tempted to make icons! Hee.
Anyway, just saying. Hearts for you all. :D

Date: 2007-09-24 04:05 pm (UTC)If you wanted to take the plunge, we would love to have you on board for anything you want to do. Backup backup writer would be fantastic, and we would fall over ourselves in GLEE if you made icons.
Or just lovely cheerleading comments like this. They're pretty amazingly great, too. ♥
Team Romance FTW!

I am so all for this that it is kinda sad. DIEF!!
2. How long have you been writing in due South?
Um, heh. A couple months? ;P (This would be why I am backup to the backup.)
3. Do you usually write romantic fic, would you say?
Totally. And I usually tend to infuse it with a lot - a LOT - of humour. I basically need laughter, love, and happy endings.
4. On a scale from A LOT to OMG SO MUCH to EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, how much do our boys love each other?
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! :D
5. Will we destroy Team Angst with kindness, porniness, sweetness, or humor? Will we bring them to their knees with the power of love?
Mmm, porn. Um, I mean: yes indeed!
6. Oh, and how about posting a link to your fic? Share your work with the rest of us.
Ahaaahaha. Ahem. Here. (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=snoopypez&keyword=Fic+by+me&filter=all) Gotta warn you, though. Only one is due South, and it's kind of.. um, cracktastic? Yeah.

Date: 2007-09-25 03:05 am (UTC)It's great to have you on board. Feel free jump in and play: post art, add to the drabble tree, all that stuff. More is better than less, I say. As a general rule.
Why, yes, that is rather cracktastic, isn't it. Welcome!
