OK. Both I suck, and Time Warner Cable sucks for leaving me without internet for most of the day. Anyway.

For May 8, the challenge is to make an icon or banner for an XF fic. The fic doesn't need to be posted on Dreamwidth, but your icon or banner should. It doesn't have to be a fic of your own, or have to have been posted on Dreamwidth.

For May 9th, the challenge is to play in a game of XF Fight Club. (I have cribbed this game, in altered format, from the LJ community rememberlaura; all props go to icedteainthebag for inventing it, or at least putting it into my field of vision. Check it out as they play it here.)

Here's how to play:

1. Post a comment initiating a fight. Basically, you should propose two (or more) characters, episodes, scenarios, props, or other nouns-of-some-sort from the series that you want to have duke it out for victory, and also specify the category. Such as:

Freakiest Mutant: Flukeman vs. The Manbat
Liquid You Would Least Like To Encounter: Black Oil Vs. Scary Green Alien Blood Vs. Monkey Pee
Most Inappropriate-Yet-Hot Kiss: The Red And The Black Vs. The Truth

2. Comment on threads supporting your preferred position. As icedteainthebag says, "Propaganda, vote rigging, bitching, infighting, slurs, anger, mudslinging, macros, and polite discussion are welcome." (Let's try to have two basic principles: 1) Do not actually insult your fellow players, and 2) Assume that things being said are being said in good humor. Let's try not to create a wankstorm.)

3. In tomorrow's post, I will announce THE WINNERS based on number of comments on each side.

4. Points: you get 3 points for initiating a fight, 2 points per comment contributing to it, and, as always, you max out at 10 points.

The game will end...well, when I post the tallies tomorrow, so around 24 hours from now. Assuming the cable gods are with me. *shakes fist*

Skinner shirtless.

[flourish]

Er, that posted before I could point out:



The shirtlessness had a plot excuse, and I guess so TECHNICALLY did the pantslessness, but seriously, TELL ME THAT WAS JUSTIFIED OTHER THAN TO SHOW US MITCH PILEGGI'S MR CLEAN MUSCLES.

EW
BLARGH
YUCK

BRB, HAVING SERIOUS ATTACK OF LESBIANISM

Skinner is basically the most beefcakey manly man of manly manlitude ever.

Those of us who enjoy beefcakeitude can inform you that this picture is 100% necessary. Here, have another!



Ahhh, Skinner/Krycek goodness!

[wendelah1]

He looks really good but you are undermining your own argument by pointing out that there was a plot excuse.

[flourish]

Oh shit.

BEEFCAKE <3____<3

[heartequals]

idk about the necessity of his shirtlessness, honestly. Who opens a door without a shirt on?! Especially if you're a frigging Assistant Director of the FBI?! What if it wasn't Mulder and Krycek at the door?!?!

. . . .who are we kidding, it's always gonna be Mulder and/or Krycek knocking on his door.
