Question. Times two.

[cruiscin_lan]

1. There's Heroes slash awards, but are there Heroes het awards? Because if there isn't, there should be. I love smexxin' of nearly all kinds.

2. I know a kink meme just got started, but I also hate seeing heroes_exchange lying dormant. What upcoming holiday would make for a good fic exchange? The Ides of March? Too soon. Maybe, like, the Ides of May.

There's a Mylar exchange coming up soon that'll go into mid-late April, so a lot of people will be busy with that. Maybe for May/June?

[cruiscin-lan.livejournal.com]

What is this Mylar exchange of which you speak? Is there a link, mayhaps? Whyfore dost I speak this way?

[aurilly.livejournal.com]

go to mylar_fic. The mod post about it should still be on the first page

[cruiscin-lan.livejournal.com]

Danke muchly! Maybe this is what I need to get my Mylar juices flowing.

........

Creative juices! Jeez.

[speccygeekgrrl.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the Mylar exchange is starting soon. Maybe the summer solstice? :D

[cruiscin-lan.livejournal.com]

Maybe if people will be busy with other exchanges, there should be one for Christmas in July. That way students will all be done with their semesters, I think.

I was just wondering about het awards. I think someone should start them (just not me). :p

[cruiscin-lan.livejournal.com]

I'd do something, but I've never run anything like that and I wouldn't want to go it alone.

[ladyanne525.livejournal.com]

Normally that's something I would jump on, but right now I just don't have the time and it would be a HUGE undertaking. :/

[cruiscin-lan.livejournal.com]

If you know anyone else who'd be interested in helping, send them my way. I'd be willing to do all the hard work as long as someone was there to help if needed, especially if they knew what they were doing.

[ladyanne525.livejournal.com]

I'll keep a lookout. :)

[psycho-llama.livejournal.com]

What would need to be done/how much time invested? I'm interested, but have never done anything like this before.

[cruiscin-lan.livejournal.com]

I have no idea how much actual work is involved, but even if you could help me lay the groundwork at least - you know, do stuff that doesn't necessarily require a deadline - that would be wayyyy helpful, I bet. Can I PM/email you?

[psycho-llama.livejournal.com]

Sounds like it'll be two virgins running amuck :P

Certainly. PM or email: crazychickette[@]hotmail.com

There are Paire Awards, but I suppose there's nothing out there for general het.

Cinco De Mayo could work as an excuse for an exchange, I suppose, or claim "spring fever"?

[cruiscin-lan.livejournal.com]

Haha, I can't even imagine what kind of theme would accompany Cinco de Mayo. Pinatas? Sombreros? Road trips from South America?

Actually, I'd probably read all of those.

[cadesama.livejournal.com]

Heroes certainly could use more sombreros. Especially little ones for Mr. Muggles.

Maybe an Easter exchange? I dunno. Nothing says the second coming of Christ like fanfiction.

[cruiscin-lan.livejournal.com]

I don't even know when Easter is this year, and I'm far too lazy to Google... :P

[di-elle.livejournal.com]

Easter is April the 12th
In Italy the Monday after Easter is holiday too, we use to go to sea or parks and have picnics with friends (we have a proverb too: "Christmas with you family, Easter with the one you like" (in Italian it rhymes, I swear!) :)

There was an award contest encompassing all the genres sometime after S1. Of course no one continued it because, like most fandoms, Heroes only cares about the slash.

[cruiscin-lan.livejournal.com]

Do you happen to remember who did that/where it was located (community or something)? Because I'd be willing to take something like that over if someone could show me the ropes.

There should be gen awards too, not just het! I don't understand the fascination so much with slash.

[yetanothermask.livejournal.com]

The comm is bestofheroes and from looking at the profile someone else on my flist already beat you to it.

I don't understand the fascination so much with slash.
It made more sense in S1 when the cast was almost completely male and Claire was only 15. Times have changed, though. I just wish there was more gen. :(

Heroes het awards

maybe an awards with the winners and runner up of the various het pair awards? But really I don't know if there is something like the sylarelleficaward for the other pair...

[cruiscin-lan.livejournal.com]

Me neither, and that's a shame! I mean, some pairings probably aren't popular enough to warrant their own awards, but still...
