Feedback welcome! ♥

There are some amazing prompts on the prompt brainstorming post. Feel free to write/vid/make fanart/crochet/bake/whatever-you-do in response to one of those -- or to whatever other ideas strike your fancy!

Post your fanworks over the weekend of May 26-28.

Have fun!

Hi everyone! roga and I are delighted to welcome y'all to another round of creating (Hebrew) Bible-based fanworks: stories, vids, meta posts, recs lists, fanart, knitted items, whatever form your Biblical fannishness wants to take.

What: Another Biblical fanworks fest!
When:

• April 9-13: time to brainstorm prompts


• Then: six weeks to create fanworks


• Post your fanworks: over the weekend of May 25-28 (which happens to contain the Jewish holiday of Shavuot, which celebrates the revelation of Torah at Sinai.)

FAQ: For answers to (what we hope will be) your questions, check out our intro and rules post. (Just ignore the dates -- those are outdated, but the rules are not.)

Stay tuned: a post for brainstorming Biblical prompts is coming up soon right here! At the end of this week, we'll close the official brainstorming period and enter six weeks of creativity.

Feel free to signal-boost!

Many thanks are due to sanj and lomedet, whose comments improved this story immeasurably!

"I see you found us a couple of wounded birds," the man says to Kaylee. The words are dismissive but his tone is kind.

"They're headed for Judah," Kaylee says. "And they're broke."

Thanks to everyone who brainstormed prompts in the comments of our last post! OMG, this is an awesome list.

All of the prompts which were brainstormed appear below the cut. Feel free to claim one by leaving a comment on this post. (And, of course, if you're struck by random inspiration, feel free to create fanworks which didn't arise out of these prompts at all.)

Fanworks (fic, art, vids, meta, whatever you want to create) are due June 7-9. Have fun!

( Prompts right this way... )

Hi everyone! roga and I had the best intentions of giving everyone here a full seven weeks to create awesome Biblical fanworks this season, with the theory of hosting another Biblical fanworks fest over the dates of the Jewish festival of Shavuot (this year: June 7-9, more or less) when Jews celebrate the revelation of Torah at Sinai. And then we forgot about it until just now. So...we're giving you just under four weeks, instead!

What: Another Biblical fanworks fest at in_the_beginning!

When:

Step one, brainstorming a list of prompts, will begin in just a few minutes (as soon as we make a post about it) and will close on Sunday May 15. ETA: here's the prompt submission post!

Step two, claiming prompts, will begin on Sunday May 15 -- we'll collect a master list of prompts and post it here, and then you're invited to "claim" a prompt by leaving a comment to tell us what you want to do.

Step three, posting fanworks, will happen on June 7-9. And then we'll post a master list of fanworks once the fest is over.

(If it's your practice not to use computers during Jewish holidays, you can post your stuff early. Or late. We're flexible.)

(And you're welcome to post fanworks even if you forget to claim a prompt. Or even if you have an idea which isn't one of the prompts. Or whatever. Did we mention that we're flexible?)

For more information: Check out the intro and rules post from our first Biblical fanworks fest; the dates of the fest are obviously no longer correct, but the rest of the rules are.

Stay tuned for the prompt brainstorming post, which is coming soon -- and please spread the word in your own journals, via email, and on whatever communities you think are appropriate!
