official fanmix prompting post!
Spamming your flist again!
Welcome to the first skinsbang_vent challenge! As both a (hopeful) writer and an artist, music is one of my primary inspirations, and, to me, something that has always been vital -- and special -- to Skins. So as everyone gets settled into writing, I thought a Fanmix Challenge would be the perfect way to a. give artists something to do, and b. kick up some inspiration for the writers.
Here's how it'll work:
1. Get prompting! Post fanmix prompts as comments to this post. [Check out the guidelines, below.]
2. Get mixing! Mixes should preferably have some sort of cover art, though it can be as simple as you like. If you don't do art, but want to participate, shoot me a PM and I'll see if I can hook you up with an artist! Your fanmix should be uploaded to megaupload/mediafire/something similar and be itunes ready -- if you have any technical questions, let me know!
3. Share the love! Mixers can post their fanmixes to their own LJs, just make sure to comment on the prompt with a link! At the end of the challenge I'll be making a master post of all the mixes to make sure everyone can check out all the pretty.
You can fill as many prompts as you like, even ones that have been filled already. My hope is to have a decent variety of fanmixes, so as many writers as possible can have a little something for inspiration!
This challenge will end on August 31. You're free to post prompts up until the end, but your chances of having them filled obviously decrease as we get closer to the deadline. If it looks like we need a little more time I can always extend it, but I'd like this to be both a fun challenge and a resource for writers looking for a little extra motivation.

Prompting Guidelines!
* Post as many prompts as you like! If you're posting multiple prompts at once you can combine them into one comment. You can also second (or third, or fourth...) a prompt by commenting on it.
* Feel free to prompt based on character, pairing, setting, theme, music genre, or a combination of these. Try not to get too specific, though; we want mixes that lots of people can enjoy, not one based on a particular fic (that's what the Big Bang's for!). So something like: 'apocalyptic, Naomi/Emily, indie' is great, but a fic summary is probably going a bit far. :p
* You're welcome to base your prompt off of your own Big Bang fic. One of the goals of this challenge is inspiration, after all! As stated above, though, try not to get too specific. Your prompt certainly doesn't have to be fic-based, though! You can prompt any sort of mix you'd like to see.
* Anyone -- artists, writers, betas, and cheerleaders -- can prompt, and anyone is welcome to fill prompts! You do not have to be an artist to create a fanmix for this challenge!
* Prompt away! And feel free to start filling prompts as soon as you'd like!
