Holiday H/D comm?

[dripping_cherry]

I just realized that I've been on LJ way too long not to have my own community! Since I love Halloween and Christmas, and they're coming up, I thought, "Why not start a holiday-themed H/D comm?"

Right now, I'm thinking of having a few prompts per week for the month leading up to each holiday (Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter, Beltane (am I missing anything?)), but I'm also taking suggestions right here in this post. There wouldn't be any length requirements; anything from 100-100k words would be welcome.

*Edit: I'm leaning towards something like H/D seasons, which would include all the holidays but still have seasonal prompts throughout the year.

Let me know what you think by filling out this poll!

Oh yes, well definitely give some love to those lesser known holidays. I'm thinking of making a post at the beginning of every month, listing not o ly Christian, but also Jewish, Pagan, and other holidays.

As for prompts, there will be monthly prompts, submitted by anyone who wants to, and maybe daily ones prior to major holidays (like a week of trick or treat or twelve days of Christmas).

I LOVE the cards idea! The mods and I will have to discuss it and see how we can incorporate it.

I was thinking, actually, of the frabjous fic 'Greeting Expectations' when I suggested that. There's so many wonderful ways one could tackle the idea and it's a chance for gifting, too! Me, I'd love a belated birthday wishes card, that I could use for all the belated birthdays I celebrate. But there's Mother's Day and graduations and all those other lovely ones, too, plus every major and minor religion, and so on. Really, this is very exciting and I do like the monthly prompting and theme weeks, as well. Good going!
