Ten minutes of your time for my thesis?

Dear fanfic authors,

first of all I’m sorry if OT posting isn’t allowed in this community, but there’s no other way for me to do this; just delete this if it isn’t appropriate.

I’m a fanfic reader and occasional fanfic writer myself, so what did I pick for my thesis in communication sciences? Fan Fiction, of course. I designed a survey to find out more about our writing habits and media use; it takes about 10 minutes to complete.

If you could go here and fill it out, I’d be forever grateful. Of course I’ll publish some of the results at my journal in about a month or two, so you’ll know what happened with your answers.
The survey is completely anonymous; I have no way of finding out who gave which answers.

Please, please help a fellow fan out. It’s only ten minutes for you; it’s a very important part of my work for me.

This has been cross-posted like crazy, and I'm sorry for spamming you guys, I'm just a little desperate, too.

Challenge: New Opportunities

So, the gang's all here. And it is, as far as I can tell from watching tonight's ep, it is the fuck ON.

I'm talking BSG 2x11. I'm talking the new opportunities. I'm talking new combinations of characters and opportunities.

That's what we're about this week. For those up to date with North American airings, bring us a thousand words of some new friendship, bond or fucktoy opportunity that didn't exist before 2.10. Cut it like a good girl, but there is a dividing line and it is time to change. And it has.

Even with existing characters. Give us the new. Give us the switch up. Give us what's been fucked.

If you aren't watching with us, then give BSG1K 1000 words of your favorite character with a new opportunity.

BSG WIP: Coming Clean

Here's one that's just tipped out over a thousand words and is sadly in need of finishing (as well as a good beta or two: any takers?).

Coming Clean
Characters: Lee/Kara
Rating: NC-17 eventually (but not so far)
Summary: Lee and Kara have a confrontation in the head. Set after "Flesh and Bone."
Disclaimer: Not mine. Sad, but true. Please do not archive elsewhere until complete.

BSG ficlet: Colonial History for Dummies

Okay, this I get to blame on svilleficrecs since she has has decreed that this week’s challenge for bsg1000 is WIP. So, it's not really my fault, right?

This is a fic that kind of stalled after one scene. Alas, my hard drive is littered with way too many of these. I figured I'd accept this challenge since this is probably as close as it would ever get to seeing the light of day. But who knows? Maybe this will breathe new life into the thing. Oh, and the ficlet is precisely 1,100 words so it just squeaks in under the community rules. Hee!

It’s Academy!fic because there’s no such thing as too many backstory fics. Besides, the babypilots are adorable.

And once again, behold my sucky title skills!

12/23/05 CHALLENGE- Wip Amnesty/Letter

First off, Pretty new bsg1000 header. Shiny. :)

Second, in order to make things easy for you, this week's challenge is to hack out and polish off 1000 words of any current BSG wip you have. Chances are you have a fic or two mouldering on your hard drive, and chances are at least 1000 words of it are readable. Pull out a 1000 scene/moment/section/whathaveyou and shine it up enough to stand on its own, then post it here. :) Feel free to toss in Authors notes (behind the cut) where it came from, the status of the story, etc... or tell us nothing at all.

If you don't have 1000 words of BSG goodness (or lameness) hidden away in a directory, your instructions are simple. Pick two characters who know each other but are separated as of 2.10 (or 1.13, if you haven't caught up yet). First person, set directly after Pegasus (or KLG2). No spoilers past 2.11 please, but if you absolutely must, please mark them clearly. Doesn't matter if the person doesn't actually have paper and pen, or whether they would/could send it. People can compose letters in their minds.

And feel free to do both if you are so inclined.

And... there we go. It's good to be back. Are you psyched? I'm fucking psyched. I hope a few of you come back and participate in bsg1000 this semi-season. :)

Gearing up for the new semi-season

Contrary to popular belief, BSG1000 is not dead. I believe the term is "flaked out on." There will be a challenge issued later on tonight. We're two weeks out from the premiere, and I'd like to work a few kinks out before ... OMG ONLY TWO WEEKS. *breathe*

In honor of the reopening, I'd like to work on a new header. If anyone could point me in the direction of a good source of screencaps from season 2.0, I'd be ever so grateful.

*rubs hands in anticipatory glee* Anyone else starting to bounce in their seats a little? I am, and I don't even know any spoilers

Something to Hold Onto

Word Count: 1001
Rating: PG
Challenge: Squee. This isn't total squee, but it has some moments of re-connection & hope.
Spoilers: Everything through "Resistance"
General Disclaimer: I claim no property rights in any BSG materials, and am making no money, and thanks for the go-ahead, Ron Moore!

Summary: Kara comes home, and has 2 conversations. I'm not so sure how well this meets the challenge, but it's fairly cheerful and it's going to be Jossed very soon, I think, so I'm postin'!
