[admin post] Admin Post: Prompts Needed for September's Jumble Sale Challenge!

Jumble Sale, SWG challenge, 15 September through 15 October, banner shows a jumble sale flier amid a jumble of past challenge banners

Have you ever noticed one of our challenges or prompts that would be absolutely perfect … for someone else to write? Or maybe the perfect storm of challenge and prompt combos that would be entirely delicious, intriguing, perplexing, or evil? For our September challenge, Jumble Sale, you will have your chance to offer up past challenges and prompts to other creators to work their magic!

How It Will Work

You can offer up to five items "for sale" at the jumble sale! Items should consist of a past SWG challenge or a prompt for a challenge. You can combine challenges and prompts, but all challenges and prompts should come from the SWG collection. You can find the full list of challenges here. Items will be listed as the prompts in the Jumble Sale challenge for other creators to make fanworks for.

How many challenges/prompts can you include in your item? As many as you want! Be tame, go wild, the choice is yours!

Next, you can set an optional "price" on your items. These are extra conditions that the creator must fulfill in claiming your item. Remember that the SWG is a positive-focused space; make sure your price is what you want to see, not what you want to avoid.

Some examples:

Tag clarifications

The mods are doing some cleanup on the tagset, and we have a couple questions.
  • If you nominated Lady of the Blue Brooch, please let us know what fandom it was intended for? The association was lost. We think it's meant for LotR books.
  • If you nominated "Worldbuilding: Gandalf enlists Lobelia on the Quest instead of Gandalf" in the Hobbit book fandom please clarify to the mods what you intended? (We think it's meant to be "Gandalf enlists Lobelia on the Quest instead of Bilbo" but maybe we're not thinking far enough outside the original timeline?)
  • If you nominated the following under the Crossovers fandom, please clarify what you intended - these groups can be nominated under LotR books OR Silmarillion without requiring a crossover: Group: Arwen & Celebrimbor; Group: Celebrian & Celebrimbor; Group: Celebrimbor/Sauron (Crossover Fandom).

Nominations Are Open!

The time has come to nominate!

Nominations are open to all, whether you plan to participate in Innumerable Stars or not. Please refresh your memory of the Nominations Information Post and make sure you are copy/pasting the names of the fandoms as stated in that post. Feel free to look through previous tagsets for inspiration and guidance, as well.

Nominations will close on Sunday, the 17th of August, at 8 PM UTC. That is a full two weeks, so there is plenty of time. You are able to nominate some tags, then save your nominations, and later go back in and nominate others, so you do not have to do it all at once. You can also edit nominations, until they have been approved.

Go forth and nominate!
