Our holiday break begins today and ends on January 15th. We have a little less than a month before the next challenge, so I'm opening the community up for member recommendations.

You may recommend:

Your favorite fics

Your own fics

Favorite Vids

Favorite fanmixes

Dr. Who related meta, podcasts or anything else

Ongoing contests

I only ask that it is Doctor Who related, as well as the spin offs. Crossovers okay as long as it includes Doctor Who in some way.

You may begin!

As you can see, we don't have another challenge after "Unseen" for I like to take a winter break every year for

who_contest. With the holidays, things seem to get busy for everyone, so I figure it's best for a short hiatus.

Sometimes during the hiatus I do some low-key things like prompts or such to keep the community a little active, so this year I'm going to do something different.

Through December 15th through January 18th, I'm asking all of my members to RECOMMEND me your favorite Doctor Who, Sarah Jane and Torchwood stories! It can be something you wrote, something someone else wrote, or something really old that you love, or something that you wrote that has never gotten that much attention but you love it anyway. Just make a post like you normally do to the community and link back to the stories!

I think since it's a holiday season we can get in the spirit of gift giving. Share your favorites with everyone!

Don't forget to vote in the 'Unseen' challenge HERE.

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! Challenges resume January 19th, 2015.

Current Mood: cheerful

Okay, we only got ONE entry for the last challenge "Trapped" so instead of extending the challenge I feel we must move on. I thank

meatball42 for contributing, and I encourage all members to go and read her story and at least leave a comment if you can.

That said, it's a busy season for all of us. With NaNoWriMo and the holidays and for students finals and such coming up, I decided to put the community on a Holiday Hiatus until next year. I'm NOT closing the community. We will come back to our regular schedule and challenges after January 5th, 2013.

In the meantime, I want to encourage SOME activity here, so I'm doing bi-weekly prompts until January 5th. You can fulfill as many as you like within the time frame. You can post more than one entry if the prompt inspires you, and the word count limits are 100 words or more. There will be no voting, only prompts.

The member with the MOST prompts fulfilled will get a special banner from me. Good luck!

Here is the first prompt: MAGIC

A new prompt will be posted on November 17th. Have fun! And please use the tag "special: magic" when posting for this prompt. Thanks!

Please let me know if you have any questions, but this prompt challenge is pretty much open!
Also, I should have your banners up soon too.
