tpod - I'd be glad to help out with next year's event. I'm trying to think how to get outlined drawings of various pairings so people can color them in (ha ha like those you get in the malls sometimes for the kids and then they get a piece of candy or something), I can scan some pics and somehow get the color drained out or try sketching over a pic.
Plus the word search puzzles, that's easy enough, I can get plenty of pairs.
And to you and firstgreymage: yeah, I can see your point re: identifying and trying to restrict practiced fanfic writers vs newbies. Let everybody/anybody join, then. (wait, Funkadelic Hemmerhoids, was that you? well, that story really was good

).
hn, just had another weird idea. For the waiting period, give the audience 5 words and have them write a poem, haiku, whatever. Oh, wait, when would they read them? Never mind.
