What is it?
A creations challenge (which includes fics, art, vidding, giffing, and any other form of art used for fan creations) just for the Rare Ships (“rare” is anything that isn’t the two main ships). So come and show your love for the ships that never get enough!

What is this month’s theme?
This month’s theme is Happy Holidays or, to be exact, different types of presents! You can expect prompts like inappropriate present, DIY present, mismatched present, etc. As always, you’re welcome to interpret the prompt as you see fit.

How do we sign up?
– Sign ups are open until November 30th.
– Please reblog this post.
– Please make sure your ‘submit’ page is turned on or we will not be able to send the prompt.
– Send an ask to the page telling us your choice for ship. (We are allowing you to sign up for up to 3 ships, however this will give you 3 prompts, so please be sure you can complete all of them if you choose to sign up for more than one!)
– You can follow the page, but it’s not required.

What happens when we sign up?
– In the first few days of December, we will be sending you a submission with your prompt and your partner.
– Remember this is not a collaboration challenge – the partners are simply to get a few different takes on the same prompt!
– You have until December 31th to create your art piece based on this prompt.
– When you post it, be sure to tag #spnrareshipcc, your partner’s url, and your ship in the first five tags, or we won’t see it! (Please tag NSFW if you have any nsfw material).
– Please also make sure to list any warnings and tags using something similar to the suggested format on the blog page.
– We will reblog your creation to the challenge page for everyone to enjoy!

What if I have more questions?
-If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to check out the FAQ page or the rules page, or just send us an ask!

So I need help

justanothersaltandburn:

Most of you know I’m uprooting my son’s life and my own and moving us halfway across the country in just a few days. The 15th to be exact. I’m doing this because I have a great job lined up in another state. But to move requires some money.

Now, I normally have a small income of about 400 a month – that’s what we live on most of the time, with the occasional commission or gift from people. That’s my only money each month.

It comes in the form of a check through the mail (and this method has worked fine for over a year – the person literally lives like 3 hours away from me). It takes a few days, of course, but has always arrived.

Except for this month. This month, it’s not here. And my sister – who I mentioned in an earlier post is being so kind and taking my son for a month while I get us settled in MN – needs some of that check to afford gas up here and back there to take my son. I also need some of said check to apply for apartments – application fees are anywhere from 30 to 50 for the units I’m looking at. And of course the basic, food, bus fare, pull ups for kiddo, etcetera – I had almost every penny of this month’s check going somewhere and now I’m lost.

So I need help. I hate hate asking for charity. I know there are a thousand people who need it so much more than me. But I’m desperate. We need to get out of this state, we need a new start and it’s working. But I need a little help.

I’m hoping to make the 400 that I’d need, but every little bit is useful honestly. I have a ko-fi, and my commissions are still open – at a reduced rate of 2k words/10USD. Commissions go through regular paypal, and as of right now I have one commission that I’m working on and nearly done with – so the list is short!

Again, I hate asking for charity when there’s already so many folks that need it – but I’m desperate, and I will owe you all my life if you can help me out in any way.

Hey, guys. I haven’t really been on my blog in 2017, for a few reasons. The main one, though, is that I’ve been consumed with trying to help my sister get free. Her violent husband has her trapped overseas and is using his military service to manipulate the system. She is fighting tooth and nail and in 7 weeks she stands before the family court judge for the final time. He tried to take custody away from her, but she won in that court date. He has supervised visits and that’s it. However, because she can’t work overseas, she is 100% financially dependent on him. He has cut her support back so far, she can’t even afford diapers for her baby. When she gets back to the states, she will be just fine. But she needs help to make it through the next 7 weeks.

I’m gathering donations to send her groceries and diapers, etc. If you have $5 to spare, please consider making a donation? Every dollar helps! Please reblog this either way! Thank you so much!

Sign ups for the 2017 British Men of Letters Big Bang open August 1st!

Description:

A big bang dedicated to the British Men of Letters organization and the characters that make up their organization. For those of you that are unfamiliar with big bangs, it is a type of collaborative challenge where an author writes a fic over the course of several months and an artist creates artwork based off the fic that they selected during claims. More information can be found under the “Guidelines” link below.

Links:

[Have a question? Ask!] [Guidelines] [Schedule]

We’re Up!

thebigbangblogproject:

So, it’s been literally months in the making and we’ll always have to keep updating the lists, but we’re up!

Appearance: I can’t quite figure out how to do the layouts AND save external links to always be found and look the way i want it too at the same time, so please forgive me for that!

If you don’t know what a Big Bang is, please read this: All About Big Bangs

If you’d like to see Bangs that I’ve collected (with help) – please check THIS out – Big Bang Master List

Organization:

It quickly became apparent how big this would get so the Master List redirects you by fandom. If we collect enough for a specific fandom, they’ll get their own listing page. If not, they’ll go under the General List Page.

Once you’ve picked a Fandom, you’ll find the bangs further broken up – General categories, ships, etc. Feel free to poke around.

Please spread this around : we want to find as many different fandoms as possible and collect their bangs and links to add them into the lists! Help us keep it updated by letting us know about new ones 😀

dcjbigbang:

Ever wanted to write a Dean/Cas/Jimmy AU where they’re in Ancient Rome? What about in Victorian England? Post-Civil War America? Then this is the challenge for you! We’re looking for DCJ fics taking place in historical time periods — anything that isn’t modern!

Schedule

July 20 — Sign-ups open for authors, artists, and beta readers.

August 15 — Authors and Artists check-in. Sign-ups close.

ONCE AGAIN I WANT TO ASK YOU GUYS FOR HELP

angelicdeancas:

Hi. Most of you know me and my struggle already.
I get kicked out of my house because my parents found out that I’m bi and I’m dating a girl. I lost my job at their flower shop and I was left with nothing. My ex boyfriend at that moment told everyone (and that’s how my parents found out) I know about this and spread some lies. He took my dog and a lot of my stuff. He stalked me. He found my tumblr as well and I had to make a new account.
For few months I lived with my friend, on the floor in her room.

I get half time job and finally found small room for myself.

I have asthma and stomach problems. Also few months ago I was diagnosed with depression, OCD and social phobia. I started therapy that is helping me a lot.

This is all the meds I’m taking:

And how much they cost:

It’s more than 500zł.
Two weeks ago I end up in the hospital because I pass out after asthma attack. I got spirometry:

And I had to stay there for a week and a half. After I get out I got fired from my job because I was absent for too long in their opinion.

Today I was in Social care place to ask if they could give me some money. And you know what? I was diagnosed with depression five months ago and it’s not long enough for them and also asthma is so common that I can’t get money for that. I’m healthy enough to work. So in the end I can get 80zł. My meds costs 500zł, my rent is 800, I need to pay for my phone bill and I need money for food and they want to give me 80zł.

So I had to ask you again. Until I find any job, can you help me a little? I know it’s rude of me to ask again, but please, help me one last time. I’m really gonna be homeless soon and I’m really scared.

If you can send anything, do that via paypal (please send only as for family/friends or as a gift). My email: anne.du@mail.com

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

UPTADE: FRIDAY 30TH (800 NOTES) I STILL REALLY NEED HELP AND I ONLY GOT COUPLE OF DOLLARS. SO PLEASE IF YOU CAN SPARE DOLLAR OR TWO HELP AND IF YOU DON’T, REBLOG. THANK YOU!
