X-Files Flash-Fanwork Challenge for Three Weeks for Dreamwidth
Welcome to the X-Files creative challenge for 3W4DW! This is a place to write, draw, or otherwise produce SOMETHING AWESOME in celebration of the X-Files, and all of the awesome characters and scenarios we love so much.
What sort of works are eligible?
Any X-Files or crossover X-Files fanwork can be posted here.
How Should Prompts Be Formatted?
There should be only one prompt per comment.
An X-Files only prompt should include characters/pairings and prompt. Use a slash for a romantic/sexual pairing, and & or the word "and" for a friendship pairing, like this:
A crossover prompt should contain character names and fandom along with prompt, like this:
Those are some crap prompts, Amal.
Bite me. So leave some of your own.
Do prompts need to be claimed? Can prompts only be used once? Can I write for my own prompt?
No, no, and yes, in order.
How do I fill a post?
Post your fill as a reply to the original prompt. If it won't fit in a comment, link to your journal.
How should fills be formatted?
Please put the title, prompt, and rating in the subject line. If you want to warn or provide content notes, please do so in the first line of the post. Images that are NSFW should be posted in full elsewhere and should have a SFW thumbnail on the challenge page.
Is there a deadline?
The challenge will open on April 26th, and run through May 15th for thethree_weeks_for_dw festival. You may start filling prompts as soon as they are posted, and may continue posting prompts until May 13th. Because this is a 3W4DW challenge, please keep all posted fanworks on DW-only for 21 days after posting, although it is perfectly fine to post links elsewhere.
I heard a rumor there would be prizes.
Participants in the challenge can earn points for Philedom Olympics 2011, for leaving prompts, making fanworks, and leaving comments.
I have another question!
Ask me in the question thread!

I have another question!
Ask me in the question thread!
Drabble-ish (not exactly 100 words)
"Mulder."
"Yes?"
"I do not want to be your friend on Facebook."
"C'mon, Scully, I thought we were friends. I thought we were, you know, legitimate friends."
"Mulder."
"What?"
"If we are friends on Facebook, my mother will want to friend you on Facebook."
"So? I like your mother. And that's a good idea, anyway. We're friends too."
"You are not friends with my mother! My mother doesn't know how to use the internet! She spends all her time posting comments about Bill and Tara's baby to the wrong profile!"
"So I could teach her."
"Oh God. Bill. See, and then you and Bill will get into arguments about politics."
"Why would we do that?"
"Mulder. Bill hates you. Bill is a Republican. You are not a Republican. He will post something about innocent fetuses who deserve life and you will bait him."
"No I won't."
"What made you wait so long to get a Facebook profile, anyway?"
"I thought the government was spying on us through them."
"Well, aren't they?"
"I've concluded that it's mostly the Zuck-man. Mark Zuckerberg. And I don't care if some pimple-faced kid knows my whereabouts. Besides, the Lone Gunmen joined last week. They claim to have found a way to booby-trap their information so it can't be deleted, viewed or downloaded without their knowledge."
"Mulder, do you really think that's possible?"
"No. I'm pretty sure that Frohike just wanted to hit on his old high school girlfriend. Sometimes the need to get in their pants outweighs the millstone of sensible security measures."
And what, after all, was there to say to that?

Re: Drabble-ish (not exactly 100 words)
I love the idea of Scully being totally horrified by Mulder "friending" her mother. OH GOD NO.

Re: Drabble-ish (not exactly 100 words)
I know nothing about Facebook except that all of my husband's students have found him and friended him. Needless to say, he rarely posts on his profile.
Re: Drabble-ish (not exactly 100 words)
Thank you!
Re: Drabble-ish (not exactly 100 words)
Having posted this prompt on Day 2, I just read Livia's M. Luder, King of WebJournal.com early this morning! That same scenario needs to be updated to fbook ASAP. political bickering, Maggie's misplaced status updates and all!
