the challenge challenge

[projectcyborg.livejournal.com]

help me out with ideas for season 4 challenges, folks! don't make me steal them all from sga_flashfic :). some examples of what I've been brainstorming:

- Found (make or write about a piece of accidental ephemera)
- Scripture (make a holy text, an exegesis of one, or a fanwork based on one)
- The Wireless (make something that might pass through the Fleet's news service)

the userinfo includes a list of various potential inspirations, but in general and already familiar terms.

or if you have ideas for provocations beyond the weekly challenge format, comment with those too!

Overheard - write or otherwise reconstruct the thoughts of characters (familiar or unfamiliar), seen doing something else in the background of a scene from the show. Alternately, create something along the lines of "Overheard in New York (http://www.overheardinnewyork.com/)," within the context of events on the Galactica or elsewhere in the fleet.

omg, I love it!

and also, this makes me think of Gawker, which makes me think of how much fun a TABLOID challenge would be.

Yes, dude! I could get in on a tabloid challenge!

(Although, that assumes that the people we follow in the fleet are in fact the most popular humans in existence, which is something I've always wondered about - I bet there's like an inter-ship pyramid league or something like that which has players much better known by the average surviving colonial than the CAG, no?)

I second Julie's comments!

Great idea! And the tabloid challenge could be hilarious and awesome. I always wanted to know just how famous Anders would have been in the fleet. He's probably one of their few genuine celebrities left alive, but also, in such a post-apocalyptic society, his low-key profile seems...oddly appropriate? Either way, interesting.
