Philedom Olympics 2011: Day 7: Fic!

Here are today's results!

Just an above-the-cut warning: if you posted a fill on the festival, please make sure I have your points in the spreadsheet. It would be really easy for them to get lost in my email inbox, and I'd hate to see them lost.

Today's challenge is to post a fic of at least 300 words to your journal, and then crosspost it here. (If anybody doesn't know how to post to a community, or is watching but not a member, ask for info!) Don't have time to do it today? No worries; you can earn points for posting a fic at any point before the Olympics is over.

Since, looking at the schedule, it appears "post a fic for a non-philedom festival" dropped off somewhere, it will also count for this challenge if you post a comment-fic of at least 300 words for a festival, and then make a post to this community linking to it.

Finally, I am looking for a few volunteers to help out with later tasks. Specifically, I need at least one person who is on the North American West Coast and can stay up late-ish on May 3, to run the last round of 20 Questions, so I don't have to stay up too late over here. I also need 2-3 people who are willing to serve as "judges" for the crossovers posted on May 14; good humor, an appetite for crackfic, and free time that day are necessary. Finally, if there is someone with some graphics skills who would be willing to help me out with 2-3 small projects, that would be beyond awesome.

Onward and upward, my fellow Philes!

FANMIX: Mulder's Mushy Mixtape: A Counterfactual Fanmix

[amalnahurriyeh]

Fox Mulder is not a man who makes mixtapes.

Prior to iTunes and the digital dominance of our musical lives, making a mixtape was hard damn work. I know this, because my dad has been making mixtapes my whole life, and they used to take, like, math and having lots of different pieces of technology and you had to sit there the whole time. I just can't see Mulder putting that much time and effort into it.

Plus, there's an weird sentimentality involved in making a mixtape. You're looking for a creative narrative thread, and frequently it revolves around the person you're making it for. Especially if you don't make them a lot, you have to find a way to create something consistent, something that captures the spirit in which you're making it. I don't see Mulder as wanting to draw on those sorts of creative skills, not for something as trivial-feeling as a mixtape.

So he just wouldn't. OK?

But let's say he did.

(The rest at my journal...)

I am not writing either of these.

So amalnahurriyeh sometimes knows how to get into my brain. I wish to announce that I am totally not writing either: Mulder Makes a Mix Tape (which is sort of a remix of Mulder's Mushy Mixtape) or Five 'Mixtapes' Mulder Will Never, Ever, Ever Give Scully.
