Sign-ups

[galerian_ash]

Hi there, and welcome to the Western Title Challenge!

This is a low-pressure challenge that works in the following way: When you sign up you'll receive a title randomly picked from an old western series. You then have to create a work of any type that's inspired by and has that title.

Titles will be taken from the following series:

Alias Smith And Jones (1971)
Bonanza (1959)
Cheyenne (1955)
Have Gun, Will Travel (1957)
Laramie (1959)
The High Chaparral (1967)
The Virginian (1962)

If you have a preference for one of these, please say so in your sign-up! Otherwise I will randomly pick both the series and the episode/title.

If the title you receive doesn't do anything for you, just ask for another! You can also ask for multiple titles if you'd like to create more than one work.

The deadline to submit your works to the AO3 collection is at 23:59 GMT on the 7th of January. It will go live at 00:01 GMT on the 9th of January, Lee Van Cleef's 100th birthday.

Please see the FAQ for more information, and don't hesitate to ask if anything is unclear!

Love this idea! Can I get two titles? :D

Do you have a date you plan to close sign-ups by?

[galerian_ash]

"How To Rob A Bank In One Hard Lesson" and "The Infernal Machine" are your titles, good luck!

I don't plan on closing sign-ups, actually! I never do that for any of the events I run -- so you're free to ask for a title the day before the deadline, should you want to get the adrenaline going ;)

I'm in! May I have a prompt, please?

[galerian_ash]

[goddess47]
