Dialj Challenge - Discovered in Thirty Years Time

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

I wonder if everyone has had a good long rest, and is ready for another discoveredinalj Challenge?

A while ago now, empty_mirrors and I were chatting about Pros thirtieth anniversary, and what we'd do when we got to the end of the Discovered In 1977 Challenge series. Gosh, we thought, thirty years ago seems like such a long time, and yet hardly anything. The lads would be... well, they'd be thirty years older... would Doyle's curly hair be grey? Would Bodie's non-locks still be cropped so close? Would they use mobiles, be up with the internet, eating organic and GMO-free? Would they - gasp! - be shopping at Marks and Sparks?

Then, being that sort of conversation, we took it a bit further - what if the lads were around thirty years from now? What would their world be like in (*counts on fingers*) 2038? What would it be like working for CI5, that infamous subduer of "the well-armed criminal and terrorist groups" troubling the UK? Ooooh...

And there, of course is your challenge - Discovered In Thirty Years Time! It can be thirty years from when we first saw the lads (ie - now!), or thirty years from now, the lads can be older, or they can be their canonical ep-ages transplanted into that future - it's up to you! There just has to be something that would have been future-y for them...

As usual, although it's not compulsory, it'd be nice if anyone who'd like to take part could comment below to let us know. Additionally, if you'd like a prompt to work with, comment below to request one, and I'll see what I can come up with... *g*

Post creations - stories, artwork, vids, essays, anything at all related to the deadline! - any time you like between now and the final posting deadline of midnight on 30th March 2008 (just before it ticks into the 31st of March) - in Pago Pago if not where you live! Oh, and please don't forget to include the footer from the user info page, at the end of your creation and under a cut, so that no one has to be spoilered if they prefer not to be!

Please forgive the layout - I'm flying solo at the moment, and while I'm well-excited to have figured out how to change the community banner, I'm lousy at colour coordination! There's a vague hope that I'll either get better, empty_mirrors will see the mess I've made of it and coming running back at top speed, or that some other kind soul will take mercy on this comm and email me some suggested colour combinations... *g*
