Welcome!
Do you still remember the heyday of fandom when you'd scroll through your friendslist on the journaling site of your choice and it was simply full of yummy Viggorli stories? Those days are long past, but even today there are still fans of this ship out there. Some of you have been around since the movies came out. Others are "late" to the party and only discovered the joys of RPS years later. How cool is it that even today new fans find this ship?
Welcome all!
After I've been absent from fandom for long years, I've recently re-discovered the fun of talking to like-minded people online. The fun of reading stories. And the fun of writing them! And it seems to be similar for other people, too, who are coming back to fandom with a big hurra.
This challenge is for you. For all of you!
I've spent years organising fic challenges and contests, but actually never for my favourite two men. I'm totally prepared to remedy that fact, which is why I'll give you the Viggorli Birthday Bash!
We've all gotten a bit older *coughs*, so I felt the pressure of the now so very common week-long events is a bit much. I guess we all have to juggle real life, family, jobs and other responsibilities. Let's make this a little more low pressure!
What is the Viggorli Birthday Bash?
The Birthday Bash will be a prompt challenge running from October 20th 2024 (Viggo's birthday) till January 13th 2025 (Orlando's birthday). I'll provide 66 (yes, a whooping sixty-six) prompts from different categories to pick, choose and/or combine to your heart's delight.
The prompts will be revealed on October 20th. You will then have roughly three months to write something for one or several of the prompts.
While this idea came about as a fic challenge, everyone is invited to answer the prompts in whatever way they like, may it be meta, pic spams, fic recs ... you name it, it goes! All this challenge is supposed to do is inspire you and spread the Viggorli love!
How can I participate?
Feel free to join this community or follow this challenge over on Tumblr. Posting guidelines and general rules will follow at a later date. Spread the word and invite your fellow shippers to have a gander at the community!
I hope to see you all here October 20th!
