Discovered in a Christmas Card is open for sign-ups!
Discovered in a Christmas Card is our Pros December-Christmas-Winter-Solstice-festival-of-light-of-all-kinds challenge. If you'd like to participate (please do!) then all you need to do is choose a date and let us know which one in the comments. That day is then yours to post something Pros-y and somehow seasonal on that day. It doesn't have to be Christmas-y, it could just be winter-ish, or it could be related to another celebration or festival - perhaps you prefer Krampusnacht, or Bodhi Day, or to celebrate the long summer (cos you're in the southern half of the world!) Your post might be inspired by the prompt on the calendar day you choose - or not. It might even be completely anti-Christmas (although a passing reference to fit into the challenge would be nice), and just be a present offered to any Pros fans passing through the com. You can also post as often as you like on that day - just once, half a dozen times, every hour on the hour - it's entirely yours to be as Pros-y as you'd like to be.
The hope is that people will receive something Pros in their flist (or by visiting the comm) every day leading up to Christmas, and even through and to the New Year. We're sadly getting fewer and fewer on the ground these days, and whether we'll be able to fill the calendar is more and more uncertain.
( There are a few ways around this... )It doesn't have to be fic that's posted either, of course - though that's always brill, obviously. it could be art, or icons or other graphics, or it could be something completely different. Your own Pros trivia quiz? Bodie's letter to Santa? Doyle's Christmas card list? Start a discussion about why Bodie adores winter and Doyle doesn't? Make up a Pros crossword puzzle? Post that scan you have of a pic no one else would see otherwise? Anything connected to our lads is welcome!
This year's prompts are Christmas card greetings from around the world - bonus points to anyone who uses their prompt in their post (or works out where it's from, can connect it to an episode or Pros in any way *g*), but you also don't have to use them or think about them at all - they're just extra inspiration for anyone who'd like it.
As ever, I'm happy to post for you, if you'd rather not do it yourself for any reason (such as Christmas being a hugely busy time for many people!) If you'd like to offer "extra content" that can be slotted into days nobody has claimed, or if someone has a disaster and can't fill their day after all, that would be greatly appreciated as well! Drop me an email at my address on the User Info page.
( Signing up... )( How to post on the day )If I've missed out anything vital, or you have any questions, the do let me know in the comments - and otherwise, sign-ups are open, for the eleventh Pros Christmas/Solstice/Winter
