News for [profile] hl_stills. Contest 27:Connor is over and it was a huge success. We received some great new Connor MacLeod icons. You can find the winners here . Something really strange happened while we were voting, though, and we can't figure it out. The post announcing the contest with the screencaps has simply vanished . None of the mods deleted it and it is just gone . Anyone have a clue?

On to Challenge 28: Valentine's Day Special .

So, after a bit of a pow wow and after considering what day falls on next Monday, the Mods have selected the following theme: "Valentine's Day Special". But, to make it interesting, the real challenge this time is that we're going to ask you to take two separate images and combine/blend them into one.

EDIT: just to clarify, we're asking you to blend two of the characters in the images provided into one icon.

Below the cut, you'll find a variety of images of numerous characters for your perusal. Please use only these images. However, feel free to use any textures, text et al that you'd like, but only the base images should be used for the icons themselves. Up to five icons per artist are welcome!

The challenge ends at 09:00 AM GMT (04:00 a.m. EST in North America), Monday 21 February 2011. Entries will be up shortly thereafter and voting will run for two days, with voting ending at 09:00 AM GMT (04:00 a.m. EST in North America), Wednesday, 23 February 2011.


Now, this started out (in our discussion) being a slash contest. However, we're not technically a slash community and not all our artists are slashers. So it is and it isn't. In fact, it's whatever you want your icon to be. But we picked lots of different screencaps for you to choose from and I hope everyone will have a lot of fun making your gen, het and/or slash icons.

[profile] hl_stills Challenge 27: Connor was due this morning around 4am.

However, since we've had a couple of requests to extend the contest a few days, we have agreed to extend until Wed morning (4am EST) Feb 9. We hope that gives everyone interested time to finish and enter. We're looking forward to seeing your icons.

Title: Tale of the Scorpion (4/9)

Authors: For LJ [identity profile] adabsolutely.livejournal.com (for LJ mirror posts, with different photos!)
Authors: For DW [personal profile] adabsolutely and [personal profile] mackiedockie
Characters/Pairings: Duncan MacLeod, Methos, Joe Dawson, El Alacrán, various OCs. D/M and other pairings.
Rating: Mostly M, with occasional spikes into R+ territory.

Warnings, greyed for light spoilers: This is Highlander--there are occasional acts of violence, not limited to Immortals, with blood, and some incidents occur quite suddenly. Those with insect-related phobias or other concerns, please take note of the title, check the Zero Post, or email either author. Both het and slash encounters occur in this story, but there is more action than 'action', if you want to drift over the slippery parts parts.

Authors' Notes: We owe huge thanks to many hardworking betas who contributed significantly to the construction of this story! More details reside in the Zero Post. All errors, mistakes and gaffs, however, lie on our own consciences. This is a work of transformative fiction, and no money is made in it's production or distribution. Note: one of the OCs is a crossover character from a relatively rare fandom. No, not the horse.

Summary: Joe says he's going to Mexico for a vacation. Methos doesn't believe him. Neither does El Alacrán, the Scorpion.

Every so often I get a craving for Highlander fic, often on a particular theme (and then attempt to write it myself, but every time I try to write HL it just turns into Mac, Methos, Amanda and Joe bantering in a bar). So I thought I'd try asking here.

Can anyone link to any HL fic that involves immortals doing historical reenactment? I don't really care if it's good enough to rec, I just want to know what's out there.

I know of some where they mention it in passing as an excuse for the swords, but I'd love something a bit more substantial than that. And people on my reading list said they remembered one where Methos was an SCA member, and one where Richie did medieval reenacting - does anybody have links to those, or know of any more like that?

I hope this is not too random, but...

PLEASE TELL ME THIS FIC EXISTS.

If it doesn't, I will write it. I just need to know. ♥
