Caprica's Baby Shower: You're Invited!

Hey guys, Athena here! I'm inviting Cylons and Colonials alike to a shower celebrating the impending ~~doom~~ arrival of Caprica’s ~~monstrosity~~ bundle of joy! After long anticipation, Caprica-Six will finally have HER OWN BABY.

Hera drew the invitation, isn't she the cutest?

( Fingers or flippers, a tail or ten toes, what are they having? nobody knows! )

Caprica-Six has registered for: Projections for Flipper

Guests are encouraged to contribute projections imagining and guiding the course of Baby Flipper’s life:
• What will Flipper look like -- a glowing spine like Mommy? a permanent scowl like Daddy?
• What new blessings and challenges will motherhood bring Caprica?
• What is Flipper’s role in the Shape of Things to Come?
• What message would you like to convey to Flipper?

In light of security concerns, all gifts must be vetted through staffers

projectjulie and

grrl_unscripted at the Presidential Archive before being delivered to the guest of honor via Datastream (Twitter).

challenge 10 - broadcast

What's the chatter on the wireless? The data in the stream? The signals from the stars? Is anyone listening? Fanworks of all shapes and colors, you know the drill...

All ten challenges remain open over hiatus, and unless they get TONS of responses in the interim I plan to reprise them for the back ten episodes. Happy midseason finale, everyone!

challenge 08 - microscopic

What's smaller than a breadbox? Or a drabble (100 words), icon (100x100 pixels), vidlet (under :30)? Create a fanwork of extra small size (you could consider writing something in 140 characters,

1sentence, six words, or a haiku). Alternately, create a fanwork about something extra small (an animal, an embryo, an almost invisible gesture).

Entry tags:

challenge 07 - found

Inspired by Found magazine: create a scrap, document, artifact, or other ephemera that could have been discarded or lost. Or perhaps something less tangible that has been found. Alternately, write a story about the finding of some such flotsam (I'm not going to hide the fact that I hope the detritus is FANFIC).

Next challenge in two weeks! Challenges open indefinitely!

Entry tags:

challenge 06 - hybrid

You can interpret that as you like: a project about the Hybrid; a project about the theme or experience of hybridity more generally; a project that is hybrid in FORM (such as multimedia); a remix or collaboration.

All challenges still open!

Entry tags:

challenge 05 - memo

Inspired by

millari's She Has a Plan(ner),

dionusia's The Tight Has an Agenda, and Skiffy's Miscellaneous Fleet Message Traffic thread (see also

livewireless), both via

bsg_crack, this week's challenge is MEMO. Create a communiqué, agenda, or note-to-self (in any format or medium).

All challenges remain open!

bonus challenge - Cylon Xing

ONE WILL BE REVEALED... and it's not who you think! Forget the season four speculation; who's your pick for the final Cylon if it could be ANYONE YOU WANT? Create a fic or artwork that casts a person (real or fictional) who ISN'T a BSG character as Number Seven/Twelve/(math is hard).

I also invite you to comment here with existing crossovers that fit the bill! Here are a couple off the top of my head:

lyssie - Home (Sam Carter)

goddesspharo - The Once and Future Thing (House)

Entry tags:

challenge 04 - manifesto

Write or make a broadside espousing strong beliefs -- whether political polemic, religious propaganda, or sexual proclamation. It could take the form of a leaflet, a letter, a law, or a promotion. You may wish to consult some other manifestos for inspiration.

Entry tags:

challenge 03 - rumor

What's the scuttlebutt? Dish a rumor that's being spread by the Fleet's muckrakers, scandalmongers, or tittle-tattles. You could present it Overheard style, tabloid style, Gossip Girl style, or Smoking Gun style -- or as regular fanfic!

This challenge will remain open throughout the season. CUT SPOILERS.

Entry tags:

challenge 02 - scripture

Both Cylon and human religions have their gospels. Create and/or interpret a holy text, or otherwise make a fanwork based on one.

This challenge will remain open throughout the season.

SPOILER-CUT kthnx.

Entry tags:

challenge 01 - 01000011

01000011 is C for Cylon. Rewrite or remake a scene from the episode from the POV of the Cylons or a Cylon (whether original flavor, final four, ship and/or other apparatus, or of course the final unknown Cylon).

This challenge will remain open throughout the season.

Let me remind anyone who posts here to SPOILER-CUT the pants off your entires. Thanks.
