Oh, I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to! - but I must... This is the final post of the Discovered in a Christmas Stocking Challenge, and hasn't it been brilliant? Thank you so much to magenta_blue who did a fab job making a banner and icon that made me giggle whenever I saw it, and to everyone who's participated, who's created, and read and viewed, and commented and just enjoyed it all - Pros is just the best place to be at Christmas time!

I'll link posts to the Calendar above as usual, so that you just have to click on someone's userpic to be taken to their creations and contributions, and the challenge is archived on the User Info page as usual too... And I am planning to catch up with the Dialj Bounds, one of these days... For people who've written fic - don't forget to send your stories to our ProsLib archivist, at proslib at gmaildotcom, and perhaps archive yourself to The Automated Hatstand...

And that must be all for this year... Although there might be another wee challenge along shortly - maybe even very shortly *g* - so do keep your eyes peeled...

Discovered in the Frozen UK...

So... it's Saturday, the UK is still under a blanket of snow, and I feel like being a wee bit topical... also, I may be trying to hang on to the December magic just a little bit... *g*

I thought maybe a new challenge? Inspired by the lads' world around us right now, and because a couple of people have suggested it...
Discovered in the Snow!

For inspiration - either look outside (*g* - ooh, and perhaps post a photo of your inspiration at the top of your creation?!) or comment below, especially if you're from sunnier climes, and I will prompt you with a picture from the UK in all its 2010 frozen glory! And if you think you might play, then please comment anyway, so we have something to look forward to... *g*

My first thought was let's have until the snow melts - but since this is the UK and we have no clue when that might be, I'd better say that the challenge will run until midnight, Pago-Pago time, next Sunday 17th of January - with a possible extension if we're snowed in... *g*

Stories, artwork, graphics, vids, thoughts, wonderings, games, reviews - anything at all welcome, inspired by the lads and the snow.

So... would anyone like to play?
