Omg *flail* we're open!!

Over 40 Fest - Celebrating characters that don't get nearly enough love in fandom and original fiction.

We are a brand new Multi-fandom, Multi-media Fest and our very first round of prompting is now OPEN UNTIL MAY 5TH after which anyone who wishes to celebrate with us will have a whole month to make fic, art, mixes, icons, gifs and podfic that feature characters over 40 as the main character. We're open to all fandoms, including original fiction and RPF and we are open to all who wish to participate. Any genre and rating is acceptable - our goal is to increase the number of fanworks and visibility of characters that are often overlooked,

OVER 40 FEST IS ALMOST HERE, YOU GUYS!

Okay, so I'm considering starting an open, multi-fandom (including original), fest catering specifically to characters Over 40 and would appreciate *any* input on this. Please comment, hit me up on twitter or PM or whatever. In theory this would be hosted on DW & LJ utilizing AO3 for the my own ease of organizing.

Some Questions:

Would you participate in an Over 40 fest?

Should it include things other than fic? Like what?

Would you prefer Quarterly larger fests or smaller Monthly ones?

Do you know any places I could *advertise* said fest?

Would you be willing to help out with basic modding-type-stuff?

Anything else?

Has Amber lost her fucking mind?

Halp...

My LJ (as you may have noticed) has gone only to crossposting and posting in communities, I just can't cope with LJ barely working for me when I *do* want to post.

That said, more often than not all I post here is fic. You wanna chat or read my thoughts? I'm *very* active over on twitter: HERE likely going protected again soonish due to asshats - if you friend me and I don't friend back within a day, post a comment or email or something and let me know. :)

My current fandom status is kind of all over the place and dodgy, I've been coping with some depression issues, my kids, my parents (omg dramaz for a 31 year old, I know) and getting ready to graduate with my AA and transfer out to ASU in the Fall so very busy on top of that. I've lost a lot of my headvoices in the last few months but am slowly working on getting them back to continue my RP in Milliways and some fic I've got half-finished. THEY WILL BE BACK. No worries, just not really feeling them right now.

That said, ya'll have probably noticed some new additions to the eclectic collection of my fandoms... don't judge me. :p

I'm so far behind on my AO3, DW & LJ comments it's not even funny... I'll catch up, some day. Suffice to say all of you that have commented are awesome and pretty much the only thing that keeps me writing (that and my besties prodding me with love and holding my hand).

So, yes... adore you all. Thank you so, so very much for reading my stuff and just being awesomely you.
