Picture Challenge!

slodwick has announced The 4th Annual 'A Picture is Worth a 1000 Words' Challenge!

This is my favourite fannish challenge for a lot of reasons. It's not just that I've done it from the start (oh, yeah, baby, I wrote for all three years). It's the open-ended nature of the challenge, the way that you can write for any pairing, any fandom, any fannish thing that strikes your fancy. I love the way that it pushes me -- a writer who tends to hear the dialogue of stories but barely see the scenes -- to incorporate visual inspiration into my writing. I love the way that it's only 1,000 words, so it doesn't feel like a burden.

I love the fact that I'm already thinking about seasons and pictures, and if I'll write for SGA or SN (so far, I've done three years, three different fandoms. That's a pretty cool tradition to continue).
