As some of you may have heard: it is POSSIBLE that Young Justice is cancelled. This stems from it not being included in Cartoon Network’s release about shows it’s going to renew. There is no official word out (yet?) that confirms verbatim that the series is over. So calm down a little.

Still. We do know that the tie-in comics have been scrapped, and a while back the toy line too. Currently the Young Justice tags are exploding with links to various petitions, posts calling on fans to contact various CN representatives and/or to buy the merchandise (DVDs, episodes on iTunes, comics et cetera).

Please show your support if it’s within your means, but remember above all, in the words of Artemis: symbiosi.

P.S. the inactivity of this blog stems from various reasons. I found myself largely at fault. This is my last post here before I resign as a mod. Catch you guys on the other side!

Fic, art, graphics, videos — we’re accepting submissions in any and all media. The goal is simply to create. Every Saturday we’ll post a week’s worth of daily prompts. These are mainly applicable for fanfic, admittedly, but for art/graphics and videos hopefully you can make something using these as themes.

This week’s randomly generated prompts are:

• Saturday, December 8: easy
• Sunday, December 9: engage
• Monday, December 10: anywhere
• Tuesday, December 11: rocking chair
• Wednesday, December 12: nicknames
• Thursday, December 13: compromise
• Friday, December 14: rain

Take note that submissions will be accepted any time starting from the respective day of the prompt. So if you missed 10 December, we’ll still reblog your work here whenever you post it thereafter.

Tag your work with ‘yj hiatus survival’ please! Or submit it here.

Get cracking, dear fandom!

I actually haven’t received any response to my previous post, which I’m hoping is a good thing? Anyway, go that link to read about the fanwork challenge (whose official tag will be #fanwork challenge ‘12)

The first set of prompts will be up this Saturday, 8 December. These were generated at random so I hope we can avoid any quarrels. (Also, you can still volunteer to help create a promotional graphic if you’d like)

Here’s hoping to see you on Saturday!

(Yup, your eyes do not deceive you.)

The last fanwork competition we’ve organized on this blog didn’t get as much response as we’d originally hoped. Back then, we had character weeks, and some were noticeably less popular.

This time round, I’m seeking your feedback on how we should organize things, and with some luck, you’ll enjoy the event more. Currently, this is what the proposal is looking like:

• submissions in any and all media will be accepted (fic, art, videos, graphics) and reblogged here
• submissions must adhere to the prompts given (7 prompts will be posted here every Saturday) and prompts will be one-word or a short phrase (every effort will be made by mod to ensure prompts do not lean exclusively towards a given pairing or character, to minimize shipping wars and/or anon hate)
• this will not be a contest; it’s a challenge to create fanwork spontaneously, in good spirit, and maybe even collaboratively (there won’t be any judging and no prizes will be awarded (apart from sense of personal achievement, I guess)

If you can foresee difficulties in any of the conditions I’ve drafted, or if you have suggestions to improve the event, please reply to this post, or leave your comments in our askbox. Please do this by 4 December (Tuesday) as on that day, around 10pm (GMT+8) I’ll be making another post to confirm details.

I’m thinking of kicking this off on 8 December (Saturday), and am currently looking for anyone who’d like to create a graphic/artwork which we’ll use in promotion to list the week’s prompts. Credit will, naturally, be given. Go to my askbox here if you’d like to volunteer.

I really hope you guys can get psyched about this, because there’s been some misery and friction in the fandom recently, and this blog needs all the more to meet its goal of helping you, well, survive the hiatus. Also, I’m rather nervous (I’m new at this) and wary of you guys not enjoying this event, so please, give me any feedback you have.

Stay asterous!
