Let's celebrate 30 years of Highlander: The Series (with fanworks!)

[brightknightie]

rhi has launched a prompt-fest event at hl_chronicles to celebrate the 30^th anniversary of Highlander: The Series. She quotes Kastagir: "I think we should hold a party." The event will run the length of a traditional North American television season, now through May 2023.

• Any type of HL prompt is welcome. If you prefer a theme, Rhi recommends "anniversaries" or "notable dates" of all kinds.


• Post prompts on the prompt-post, one to a reply, with a subject line of the character(s) prompted. (We already have ~40 prompts!)


• Any type of HL fanwork fill is welcome. Fic, art, crafts, pods, vids. Novels, drabbles, poems, scripts, filks. No minimums, maximums, etc.
  
  
  
  • Put the requested character name in the subject line of your reply to the prompt.
  
  
  • Post your creation directly in the replies to the prompt-post, or at the AO3, or your DW or LJ or wherever. (Rhi plans to create an AO3 collection soon.)
  
  
  • Also: "This is very much a 'More cake!' fest. 'There can be only one' will not apply..."

Have you found any that intrigue you?

None have yet lit a fire for me, unfortunately, but perhaps some could be smoldering? Three of yours are possibilities for me:

• 5 times Anne thought someone was Immortal (and she was wrong) + 1 time she was right
• As Charlie continues to try to train Richie, Richie's explanations for why he's not getting hurt/staying hurt become increasingly implausible.
• Your Favorite Immortal has to convince someone else that they are, in fact, Immortal. For Reasons, the one method they can't use is to kill themselves.


I currently feel like I shouldn't personally tackle "Tessa survived the shooting. How does she deal with Richie now being Immortal?" with all the "Imagine" novels on my shelf... but maybe the focus of the premise will argue me around.

Pennywashburne's "Tessa meets Methos while Duncan is away" is also a possibility.

How about you? Rhi shared many prompts to kick off!

How about you? Rhi shared many prompts to kick off!

Like you, none of the prompts have yet lit a fire for me. I hope that many more people will throw some ideas into the fray for me to consider.

It doesn't help that I'm deep into the TV show Superman & Lois right now, so getting my head back into a Highlander space is more challenging than usual.

But, hey, that's cool that some of mine are smoldering for you! I know you'd do an amazing job with any of them.

Thank you for the signal boost!

[brightknightie]

You're welcome! I wonder what effect the long running time will have? We do have the regular HLH_Shortcuts challenge coming for the holiday season, too, I hope. If not, well -- this will do!

There will be overlap, but it might help even? Seeing prompts in the fest as well as their assignments, so more creativity runs?

(Also, BLESS you for your help.)
