Hey everybody
I've never posted in the Challenge Folder before, so I'm a little nervous...but something
has to be done at this stage!
A few months ago there was a poll posted asking what everybody's favourite season of L&C was. I, innocent that I am, posted and said that my favourite was S2, but...here's the clincher...I said which eps I
didn't like, going off on some rant about how
When Irish Eyes are Killing was just yuck. Idiot that I am, I happened to mention in the post that if
one more person played the song 'It's a Long Way to Tipperary' to me, I would scream.
I had not heard of a woman named Elena
She pasted LYRICS onto the boards and, it appears was just
waiting for me to blow up at her, which I obligingly did <g>.
A few weeks later, with some helpful nudges from Wendy, there was a
wav made of this song. And now, every time I put a toe out of line on #loisclark - BAM! Instant
So I'm going to stop it once and for all. Here is a challenge going out to Wendy and Kaethel, two of the main perpetrators, to write a fic based in or centred around - Ireland - EACH. It has to have at least five sentences said in Irish in it, no clichés and no cheating, no using Dublin - that's not fair
I'm aware that I'm playing with fire by asking Wendy, she being born and bred in Dublin and all - but there's another condition - Kae, you can't pump her for information
. No short-cuts. I would have liked to include El in this as well, but a little bird told me that she doesnt write fic, more's the pity.
If you should succeed, then I will grudgingly stand back and let you all play that stupid wav on irc for as often as you like, without threat of disembowellment and/or me stopping writing.
However...if you should
fail, then not only you, but El, Saskia, Roger, and
every single other person with that wav on their computer will be forbidden to use it <eg>. The fate of irc rests in your claws...err, hands, I meant hands!
