About Fest...Again)

[gentlepolinka.livejournal.com]

So, I suggest:

1. Timeframe: 20 Dec - 20 (or until 30) Jan

2. Fics and arts on general plots or situations. Like three ghosts, kiss under misletoe, Christmas wish, exchanging gifts, superstitious Christmas beliefs, prepearing traditional Christmas food, Christmas night dance, games with traditional Christmas things (candles, advent calendar etc).

Your thoughts and/or your ideas?

Sounds excellent! Do you want prompts?

[gentlepolinka.livejournal.com]

Mmm I think yeah))

[laeticiav.livejournal.com]

YES! I wonder if you would think of opening up the festive prompt a little bit in terms of time to include New Years (if the fest is going into January anyhow) -- in addition to the obvious potential for fancy drunken parties, there's the midnight kiss and the tradition of the First Footer (tall, dark-haired and handsome *ahem*) ... I'm sure there are lots of other interesting traditions too.

Unfortunately I hardly know a lot of english christmas traditions (I'm from Russia) I didn't even know about First Footer (what a shame!) So may be you could make a list with traditions/promts? I very appreciate it

Here's a link to a German web site (http://www.learnenglish.de/culture/christmas.htm) that describes British customs

Oh Wow! Thanks.

So, how about list of mmm 15-20 promts? And then everyone can take the promt. What do you think?

[godsdaisiechain.livejournal.com]

It sounds fine to me.... but I have never really done this before. I followed a prompt from queerfest one time...

[gentlepolinka.livejournal.com]

I try to make promts more general, without details, so you can choose a main character and circumstances etc)

Twelfth Night might be a good festive prompt - it's the day that, traditionally, masters trade places with their servants. :3
