Discovered in a Livejournal

Well, it's yet again past our challenge deadline even in Pago Pago, and so we have to pack up the tents and the guy ropes and the lads in general... I'm kicking myself, cos I was over a page into my story (a big thing, for me lately!) when I fell downstairs and put the kaibbosh on finishing it in time... *headdesk* But since I've started I might well finish and post elsewhere - and if anyone else found themselves starting but not finishing, then do feel free to do the same, cos I know I'd still like to read the stories!

Thank you to everyone who responded - writers and readers and all! Don't forget to archive your stories where you will - send them to the lovely archivists at ProsLib (proslib at gmaildotcom), or consider self-archiving to Automated Hatstand. They will of course be "archived" via our User Info page challenge links too, and perhaps, one day, a DialjBound...

And keep an eye out, because there'll be another challenge along shortly... *g* (And as ever, if you've an idea for a challenge, or you fancy guest-hosting one, then do drop me a line and let me know - there are plans afoot for both halloween and our usual Christmas hooley, but if there's a challenge you'd like to see, let us know!)

It's been a while since we had a new discoveredinalj challenge, but I thought that we should celebrate the longest day of the year (hurrah the shortest day, Southern Hemisphere! *g*) and what better way to do it than off camping with the lads? So, partly inspired by various recent camping photos from cornishcat and kiwisue, partly by a reminder from jaycat92 of LC's answer to an interview question - "I've been camping quite a bit - make of that what you will!" - and partly just by the idea of our two lads together in a very confined space, our new challenge is...

Discovered Whilst Camping

Of course you don't have to put the lads in a tent, as ever make what you will of the challenge theme, but if you would like a camping prompt then please comment below, and if you don't need a specific prompt but might still join in, then it'd still be lovely if you commented below, just to build up our anticipation... *g*

If you would like to join in then feel free to post any time (and anything - challenge responses don't have to be stories, they can be drabbles, poems, pictures, vids, thoughts, wonderings - anything you've been inspired to!) up until midnight in your time zone (and no later than midnight in Pago Pago) on 31st July - and of course post as often as you like, too...

As ever, please use the challenge trailer (at the end of your story and under a cut) which can be found on the user info page - simply cut and paste and fill in the information. If you'd rather include a link to prosficspoilers than specific warning information then that would be fab (the kind people there will provide information for anyone who may want it).

So... would anyone like to go camping with the lads? *g*
