rp_manifesto

Rumours of the deaths of the moderator here at rp_manifesto have been greatly somewhat exaggerated. Meatlife has been soul-sucking in recent months, but hopefully that will soon change... for the better!

Apologies for the lack of attention this comm has recently received. Your creator-mod is sadly still off battling real life dragons, but, with her permission, I am stepping in to try and keep things ticking over here as well as at ship_manifesto.

To show our appreciation of everyone who's still hanging around waiting for us to do something, we're going to let you do something. :D

I DECLARE A FREE MONTH!!!

Short on time, but still want to sing the praises of your favorite OTP/OT3/OTmore? Step right up! Be creative! There are absolutely no rules, other than respecting each other, behaving in an adult manner, and using an lj-cut.

You can write as much or as little as you want to, add screencaps or not, quote scenes that make you squee. It really is up to you. A post here is basically saying "This is why I love x/y and why you should too." How about the top twenty reasons why 'blank' deserves better, but you still can't help shipping them together? This is the time and the place to do it.

"Free Month" runs for the rest of the month of May and all of June! Someone should be around to approve posts on a daily basis, to prevent any possible flist logjams. *g*

Anyone who has already commented on the sign-up list is free to post their manifesto as and when they are ready, up to the end of June. If anyone requires longer than that, please let us know at the signup post, and you will be assigned a suitable date.

Please, pimp this out in your journals and in your fandoms (in comms that allow that sort of thing), and let's see some manifestos!

Let the festivities commence! :D

It took me a little longer to get this poll up because your lovely mod is having trouble over at the sister community, ship_manifesto. My apologies for the delay!

Please feel free to skip over any pairings you're not familiar with or have little interest in.

Our second poll is now closed. The next poll should be up sometime tomorrow. It's been a blast to see all the pimping going on in comments. We don't even know some of these 'ships, but found ourselves seeking out fic after having a good look at all the adorable hotness on display. Thank you and keep up the good work.

Since some of us may be undecided about who to vote for in today's poll we'd welcome your sound and reasoned arguments as to why your pick should move on the next round (please feel free to include lots of hot photographic evidence to substantiate your claim ). It will certainly be appreciated by your mods.


Poll will close @ 10 PM EST Monday, September 7th, 2009.

Error: Please forgive my repeated listing of RPS when in fact it should be RPF. One track mind! My apologies for the error.

*hands* I'm having a hard time putting together a poll for tonight. I thought I had enough picks to separate into four categories but it's just not working out the way I'd hoped. We've decided to leave the poll open until this weekend to see if we can get a few pairings/threesomes/moresomes to play with. Please spread the word.

{Submission Post}

If you haven't done so already, please leave your favorite RP OTP picks as a comment to this post. Our very first poll will go open @ 10:00 PM EST on Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009.

We look forward to seeing juicy photographic evidence as your mods will most likely be unsure of who to vote for. A Jared/Jensen picspam of doom? PANIC GSF interview for the win? Do your worst. We can take it! *G*

Members and watchers (if there are any at this point), please do us a favor and leave a comment with your top ten rpf pairings/threesome/moresomes of all time from any fandom. We've got something up our sleeves but need your help in order to make it happen Most of you know what we've got up our sleeves if you've been voting over at the sister comm. Get ready for the battle to end all battles (part deux )just in time to celebrate ship_manifesto fifth anniversary and this community's official grand opening!

Thanks in advance.

And that's all folks! Thank you so much for submitting your lovelies. Our second poll should be up sometime today.

Please leave a comment w/ your pairing/threesome/moresome of choice if you'd like to participate.

We'd love to begin posting on August 1st, in celebration of our sister community's (ship_manifesto) 5th anniversary.

Let me give you a couple of examples of what we're looking for in terms of content. The following brilliant essays were posted to the bandom_ships community as part of their celebration.
