Discovered in Thirty Days and Thirty Nights

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

How's everyone doing? It occurs to me that we've mostly all been in lock down now for about a month, and this stoopid virus doesn't seem to be properly going away any time soon - so I wondered if we might have a go at cheering up our next month all together, with a Dialj challenge for May. It should really be Discovered in Thirty-one Days and Thirty-one Nights, but that didn't have quite the same ring to it. *g*

I've never done this before - but shall we have a cheerful month of posting, a la our Discovered in a Christmas/Winter/Solstice/Festival of Light type calendar celebration? I don't know about you, but seeing the lads in my lj each day would probably cheer me up a little bit, at least...

So - the same procedure as every year (just in a different month) - please choose a day that you'd like to post something Pros-y, whatever it might be, to help cheer us all up and keep us going through these stressful times. Comment below to claim the day, and I will add your (Pros please!) icon to the calendar, and then that day will be all yours to post to the community as many times as you want! Just want to post a pic of the lads? Cool. Want to write a story and post that? Excellent! Twenty four posts, one an hour on the hour, of pictures showing why you love the lads? Yes! Want to muse about the lads and a jar of honey, and get everyone to join in with you? Go for it - it's your day! You can post whatever Pros-y thing or things you fancy. *g*

Okay - who's in? (As usual, I'll let everyone choose a first date, then come back around and offer more dates - but we're going to start on the 1st of May, so those second (and third etc.) dates will be offered sharpish.) *g* (Hope it's not too short notice for people to play! If it is though, and there's not much response, then I'll simply cancel and delete).

1st	2nd	3rd	4th	5th
6th	7th	8th	9th	10th
11th	12th	13th	14th	15th
16th	17th	18th	19th	20th
21st	22nd	23rd	24th	25th
26th	27th	28th	29th	30th
31st

Okay, I'm in. I can make something for the first, but I definitly need a second day in the middle of the month. I would like to make something with the rainlads too, but that needs some more time.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Cool - yeay! And you never know, it might just be you and me...! I'm pretty sure there'll be something left in the middle of the month. *g* Thank you!

[golden-bastet.livejournal.com]

Well, I'll try for the 31st. That will include Memorial Day so I have a chance to actually put something together. Because we all can use some Pros in our flists.

Man, I should really be working on my BB. :-(

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Excellent - thank you! And you know, the BB goes on from February to October - that's a long time not to do anything else Pros-y (and for us to do without extra little Pros posts!) *g*

Count me in on the 17th, please. Any pros-y thing is a good one, so I want to play too.

Thank you for running this and I am looking for to :-)

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Yeay, thank you! The 17th is all yours! (I had to edit your icon to add a border so it would fit the square without repeating and looking odd, I hope that's okay! *g*)

[firlefanzine.livejournal.com]

Somehow I feel a gun against my head...
Macklingirl, is it you? :-O

Ok! May I have the 12th please? :-)

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Nope!! No guns to people's heads - only play if you want to play!

If most people aren't interested then its easy enough to cancel - it's supposed to be fun, not something people feel forced to do!

[macklingirl.livejournal.com]

Yes, it was me. You are lucky that it wasn't Cowley with Doyle's assistance. *vbg*

And stop worrying byslantedlight, she's doing such a good job.

[jat-sapphire.livejournal.com]

10th? Gives me a week and a half, about.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Oops, sorry - I thought I'd replied, but I guess I just put your icon in! Thank you - the 10th is all yours! Although that said, only six people seem to have noticed the challenge at all, which isn't enough for a calendar, so I might have to cancel it... : (

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

I have something so I can take the 2nd. Thanks.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Cool - the 2nd's all yours!

[hagsrus.livejournal.com]

I'll take the 5th - want to try my hand at some more horoscopes, If the muse cooperates I may be able to fill in a couple more if available, but see how it goes, eh!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Thank you - the 5th is all yours! Shall look forward to the horoscopes (and look encouragingly at your muse... *g*)

Do contributions need to be cheerful? I am working on a vid that I could post as part of the challenge, but it is not cheerful.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Even contributions that aren't cheerful are cheering, if you ask me - so please do! *g*

[ali15son.livejournal.com]

I will take the 27th please.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

The 27th is all yours, thank you!

[ali15son.livejournal.com]

And if you need me to change my icon i will.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

No, the other one's fine - I'll balance up older-Bodie-on-his-own by posting an older-Doyle-on-his-own when I fill in one day. *g*

[merentha13.livejournal.com]

I'll take the 24th if available - if not then the 23rd?

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

The 24th is all yours - thank you!

[dawnebeth.livejournal.com]

May I have the 29th? I am off work that day. Not sure if I have time to write a little fic or just find something else Pros-y, but I want to see Bodie and Doyle during May!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

You may! Thank you for playing! It would be fab to see the lads through May, wouldn't it! *g*

[ubicaritas9.livejournal.com]

Hi! I know I haven't posted anything in a while, but I'd love to get some Pros going this month. Could I have either the 25th or 26th, please? Thank you!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Yes! Doesn't matter how long the gaps in between, it's lovely when people post Pros! The 25th is all yours. If you feel extra-inspired, you can always have the 26 as well, that way... *vbg*

[jinkyo.livejournal.com]

Hello! New fan here and sort of itching to get back into photoshop with these lovely lads. I can take the 4th.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Hello New Fan - nice to see you here! *g* The 4th is all yours - looking forward to seeing what you're going to do with our lovely lads... *vbg*

[boothros.livejournal.com]

I'll take the 15th it's still available?

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

The 15th is all yours - thank you for helping to add some Pros cheer in May! *g*

[cim3745.livejournal.com]

May I have the 8th ? I hopefully chose an icon you can use easier this time :-)

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

You definitely may - and nice icon! *g*

[ali15son.livejournal.com]

I noticed that the 11th is still free, would it be ok to post on that day please.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Sure, all yours!

[tinturtle]

If the 18th will otherwise be empty, I could post a vid recommendation that day. (That's tomorrow.)

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Brilliant, go for it! *g*

[jat-sapphire.livejournal.com]

Can I still get 5/26?

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Lol - good job I can speak American... *g*

Yes, okay, the 26/5 is all yours.
