Run the Con Lives!

Run the Con, or in this case runthecon, is back in the game (and Mozzie is most pleased). sinfulslasher has put together a new community site, with new rules and new co-mods (the ever-present pair, theatregirl7299 and yours truly).

In simplest terms, RTC is a flash writing challenge where you (1) sign up to participate, (2) get tagged to write a short fic to the prompt left for you and (3) do it within twenty-four hours of the time that the prompt was left.

That's it. Well, you first have to read the rules, which are found here and make sure that you're set for LJ pingbacks or have the comm tracked (you either incessantly check your f-list or you get emails when there's a new post to the comm).

For the first round, pretty much any genre goes. Kink, H/C, gen, casefic, het, slash, romance, tropefic, idfic, you name it. Everything but RPS/RPF (even AU stuff).

Some important dates:

Sign Ups: August 1st through August 31
Challenge: September 1st through...well, until every participant has had the chance to play - there are no limits to signups.

I know I've missed this challenge and I think a lot of other White Collar fans have, too. It's the chance to write something short and sweet and to the point, instead of those epics we all seem to be focused on these days.

If you want to signal boost, you can find the code and the banner here

Come on and join the fun. Let's Run the Con!
