To launch a new writing challenge community, vmfictitious is running a screencap caption contest with an ebook as a prize. The ebook has been donated by bigboobedcanuck, vmfanficcer who publishes original m/m fiction under the name Keira Andrews. The contest will celebrate the hoyay of VM, with the best caption voted on by the community.

This is SO late, and completely my fault, but here are the banners for rounds 8, 9 (which were combined) and 10. hiddeneloise did an incredible job, as always, so I'd appreciate it if you guys showered her with all of the praise she so rightly deserves.

Also, our final round ended officially on November 5th, and while all of our entries were awesome, we only had three. We won't be doing a vote this time, but we'll still have awards. Technically, the community is closed. But if you were working on a fic for us, and you can submit it in the next two weeks or so, we'll still include you in the award process.

I believe vanessagalore is running a new fic challenge community now, so when she gets the details ready for that and posts it here, I hope you guys make the transition to her community so we all have more good fic to read.

Now, on to the banners...

Title: Searching For Life- Chapter Five (6/7)
Author: love_is_epic
Rating: R
Warnings: There’s definitely some adult content in here.
Word Count: 5302 this chapter; 33,540 total.
Characters/Pairings: Logan/Veronica, Logan/OFC, Keith, various others.
Spoilers: Goes AU during 3x13 (Post-Game Mortem).
Disclaimer: I do not own any of Veronica Mars nor its characters. I write strictly for fun and undeserved praise. I don’t make any money from this.
Summary: Sometimes finding what you’ve been searching for is harder than not finding it at all. Letting it go is even harder. This is a LoVe story that spans years, three-quarters of a continent and maybe a little bloodshed. They wouldn’t be epic without it.

A/N: I am entering this in the vmfic_gameon community’s Final Round. *tear* It really could fit a lot of the challenges, but I think I’ll go for April’s challenge: April Showers. They’re supposed to be angsty and I think this fits the bill. Many thanks to annie_oakley for doing such a fabulous job with this comm. You deserve a standing ovation.

TITLE: Precipitation (1/1)
AUTHOR: vanessagalore
CHARACTER: Veronica
WORD COUNT: 2174
RATING: R
SUMMARY: Even the weather seems to be against Veronica.
SPOILERS: Vague spoilers for the whole series.
WARNINGS: Cursing.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own any rights to Veronica Mars. This story is written as a tribute only. Beta'd by zaftig_darling. All remaining errors are my responsibility.

This is for the "Finish the Finale" Challenge for the last round vmfic_gameon, although it could fit several other challenges as well.

Title: Voices
Author: celtic_flicka
Characters: Logan/Veronica, Keith
Word Count: ~1,400
Rating: Light R

Spoilers: For the series.
Disclaimer: If Rob Thomas lets me borrow them, they will be returned in their current pristine condition.
Note 1: This is for the Logan/Veronica Futurefic Character Challenge for the last round :( at vmfic_gameon.
Note 2: Thanks to zaftig_darling for the beta!



It was four minutes before the alarm when Logan woke up.

The last challenge is closing in exactly one month, and we haven't had a single entry yet. If you're planning on participating, I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know somehow. If we're not going to have any entries for the final round, then I'll probably close up shop early.

The list of prompts/challenges can be found HERE.

Thanks.

Sorry I'm so late again with this. This took a lot longer to make than I expected because it's our very last challenge post, so it's a big one, and the general deadness of the fandom wasn't really motivating me. Technically this round already started. Oops!

Before we get to the challenges, I just want to ask everyone who hasn't to please vote in round #10's awards poll! It was supposed to close weeks ago, after being up twice as long as they normally are, but we only have 15 votes, the lowest participation ever. I know the VM fandom is on the verge of total death, and that's one of the reasons we're closing, but it'd be really nice if the people who still cared could find the time to give this community one last push.

On that note, round #11 was supposed to close last week, but we only got two submissions! So we'll merge those with the final round. As you'll see, this last list of challenges include all previous challenges, so it's the perfect time to finish up and post that fic you started forever ago but missed the deadlines to.

Now on to the last set of challenges!

The final round of Game On started August 1st and will close Friday, November 5th! So it's a super-sized round and hopefully it'll give everyone who wants to participate ample time to do so. We also won't be doing an awards poll for the last round; I've got another idea for how the awards will be handed out this time, and I think the change will be for the better.

After November 5th, winners will be announced and then the community will unofficially close, meaning there won't be any new challenges but people can still post any updates to their work or maybe new fics that were inspired by old challenges.




( information, challenges and deadlineCollapse )



Okay, that's everything. I seriously do think it'd be a new challenge itself to write something and have it not fit any of these categories! There's something here for everyone, and since this is the very last challenge round, I hope you guys find the inspiration and time to participate.

As for other community activities, please, if you haven't done so already, vote in the round #10 awards poll. I still have to announce the winners for rounds 8 and 9, so that'll be coming up eventually.

Thanks guys! If you have any questions, comments or concerns, let me know here. Have fun and good luck with the final round!

I'm way behind on things so I'll keep this poll open for two weeks. I haven't even contacted hiddeneloise about the rounds #8 and#9 banners yet but I'll try to do that soon and then the winners' post will be up whenever she has time to finish them. Sorry for the slacking. I feel like I have senioritis with this community now.

I'll try and have the final round challenge post up on the 10th, though. That's right, final round. Time flies.




So I'll close this poll on the 20th, I'll have round #12 (final round) challenges up by the 10th, and I'll get the rounds #8 and #9 winner post up whenever I can.

And remember, round #11 is open! That round will be the last one where community members vote for the winners (I've got something special planned for the last round) so hopefully we get a good number of fics.

Thanks to everyone for voting and/or participating in challenges. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns!
