Hello everyone -- with the gracious permission of annwfyn I'd like to request your help with a project.

Jez and I have a small Requiem project with which I could use your assistance.

You contact me, saying you want to play. I will send you a picture or description of an item. You will then provide two things:

1) A short description (say 50-100 words) of the item, its provenance, and so on, such as you might find in a museum or collection guide.

2) A fun text snippet, no more than 1-300 words, related to the item. Maybe this is a letter accompanying it telling the story of how it was found. Maybe it's a document found with the object. Maybe it's the vision people get when they use Spirit's Touch on it, or a poem that they hear faintly recited if they hold it to their ear. I don't know -- it's your call! Vampirey stuff not necessary, but allowed.

You'll get some prestige for sending me the thing, and more prestige if you send me something more than text (like you make a little document with cool fonts and pictures or whatever, or find a cool photo that could go with it).

Sound like fun?

You can email me at gonzohistory AT gmail DOT com.

[Requiem] Dark Angel

[mionassmaster.livejournal.com]

Johannes sits crossed legged and naked in front of his mirror, staring into the reflection, looking into his own eyes, boring into his own soul, searching for something…Looking for answers?  Looking for clarity?

 He slowly lifts his arm to his mouth and bites at the wrist, dark vitae bubbles from the wound yet his eyes never leave his reflection.  He grabs at the blood with his free hand and wipes a huge smear across the mirror, darkening the pane with his foul blood.

 He forces himself to breathe, pushing air into his atrophied lungs, making him chest move for the first time in years.  Gradually he lets the air out onto the mirror, pushing his first breath in years onto the blood.

 Slowly he reaches up with his right hand and writes a name using two fingers.  Darcy.

 “Darcy Blake…I know you can hear me.  I’m in your soul now…I want to set it free…I want to set you free.  I can offer you so much…Love.  You need love don’t you Darcy?  I can give you exactly what you need.”

 Slowly he carves angel wings into the blood around the name.

 “A bloodied angel, dark and majestic…All you need is my love.”

July challenge

[annwfyn.livejournal.com]

So, as neither of my lovely assistants have come up with a monthly challenge for July, I'm leaping in.

Suggested by faerierhona, the July challenge is going to be to write something for the society. This could be one of the short pieces that pierot and hollowcolours have asked for. This could be a piece on the seasons for the Lost wiki. It could be a piece for a totally different project altogether, but I think in July we should all try and write something which would be of use to the wider society. I know there's a lot of projects going around at the moment which people are asking for help with, so go! Be helpful!

If anyone has any other IoD projects that need fiction or writing, do stick it up in the comments section and see if someone can help you.
