goodbyebird: The Old Guard: Andy and Nile in formation. (The Old Guard gimme shelter)
[personal profile] goodbyebird
Hey everybody! I meant to post yesterday whups šŸ˜… I hope the holidays went as well as they could under the circumstances.

The Holiday Calendar has now concluded, and we had many lovely entries. The amount of unexpected work I got prevented me from participating much, but seeing you all hang out and share with one another has put a smile on my face.

As a last huzzah, I made a list of everyone that joined in, with either creations or comments. Using a random number generator, I picked three users to get 2, 6, or 12 months paid time. I hope you enjoy it ā¤ļø

Lastly, anybody interested in a small comment ficathon? I was thinking we could have some fun with a prompt generator *g* Seems people are busy, shelving it for another time :)

Author's Notes: The pharmacy where Andy meets Celeste was located in a city in Val d'Argent, according to this article about the Old Guard filming locations. Val d'Argent is a two and a half hour ride from Goussainville. I was wondering what went through Andy's mind on the drive back. Do enjoy, and happy holidays!

A Nile made of crochet, in the outfit she wore while going to rescue the others. She has already been shot at but she doesn't have her gun anymore because I was too lazy to make one her body is her weapon and she is about to jump from a window with an evil CEO in her arms!

This is a crossless necklace because crochet and straight angles don't go well together....

Summary: Nile’s first confirmation that Nicky is a real live human being and not a benevolent food ghost that haunts their apartment, comes at 1:21 in the morning on a Thursday.

Or: the AU where Nile cannot seem to meet her roommate Joe’s new boyfriend.

ā€œAre these brownies?ā€ Nile checks, staring at the pan of brownies that has somehow spontaneously appeared on their kitchen counter. They look homemade but Nile knows for a fact that Joe burns water and Booker lives almost entirely off of Doritos and takeout. )

I know everything’s a bit of a trashfire at the moment, but even more so we need things to look forward to. Maybe even something related to our favorite immortal assassins? šŸ¤—

Don’t know about you all, but I love advent calendars. There’s just something about having a small surprise waiting for you every day. And so I’d like to try that here, with hopefully 25 days filled with treats of some kind!

How does it work?
If you’d like to make a fanwork or two, sign up in the comments using the template provided. Comments will be screened to preserve the surprise factor, but a list of the creators as they sign up will be added to the bottom of the post :)

You will then be assigned a day (or two, if you’d like to double dip!) for posting your entry.

What can I submit?
Any and all things related to The Old Guard is more than welcome. Fanworks come in all shapes and forms. They also do not have to be related to the holidays. All we ask is that it is not posted elsewhere before the reveal.

Some examples: fic, filk, vids, graphics, podfic, handcrafts, fan art, themed red lists, meta, picspams, sonnet, fanmix, etc. Hell, make some gingerbread cookies and decorate them to look like the characters :D

Where?
Why, right here!

I know we're all scattered about various platforms nowadays, but the holidays are the perfect time to come together. By hosting all the works on [community profile] the_old_guard I'm hoping to foster a real sense of community, where we all get to hang out in the same posts and flail about a bit, like in the lj days of yore. You are of course welcome to put your fanwork up elsewhere after the reveal.

When?
This will be running from the 1st of December to the 25th. Fingers crossed we can fill every day, but if not we’ll spread it out. I’ll do my best to adhere to your preferred times when scheduling.
