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!

Hello there, what a creative way to prompt! Thank you for organising this :) I'd like four titles, please. :)
(Also, is there a rule abt how many prompts one has to fulfil?

[theseatheseatheopensea]

Yessss! What an excellent idea! I'd love a prompt, please!

[ride_4ever]

Great theme! And ❤️ Event Central.

No preference as to series. Two titles please.

[galerian_ash]

Thank you, I'm really glad you like the idea :D Your titles are "Echo Of Another Day", "First, Catch A Tiger", "Silver Image", and "The Stillness Within" -- good luck with them! (And no, there aren't any rules like that, so no worries!)

Cool idea. Can I get two titles please?

[galerian_ash]

Yay, I'm so happy it appealed to you! Your title is "Yesterday's Timepiece", best of luck with it!

[galerian_ash]

Aww, thank you so much! Your titles are "A Sound Of Bells" and "Hard Bargain", good luck with them!

[galerian_ash]

Glad you think so! Your titles are "Farewell To Honesty" and "Pocketful Of Stars", best of luck with them!

[theseatheseatheopensea]

Thank you! <3 (And now, for my usual question: is it OK to use this event to finish WIPs?)

[neche]

Thank you so much :)

[badly_knitted]

I'll take two titles please!

[smallhobbit]

A fun idea. I'd like just one title, please. And if possible from Alias Smith and Jones, because it brings back a lot of happy memories.

[corvidology]

What a great idea!

May I please have three titles. The series doesn't matter.

[galerian_ash]

Yup, you bet! And one of these days I will actually remember to include this question on the FAQ, haha.

[galerian_ash]

"To Make This Place Remember" and "Second Chance" are your titles, good luck with them!

[galerian_ash]

Aww, that makes me glad to hear -- I feel the same way about that series. Your title is "Never Trust An Honest Man", best of luck!

[galerian_ash]

I'm really happy you think so! :D

"Follow Your Heart", "You Can Lead A Horse To Water", and "The Last Hundred Miles" are your titles, good luck with them!

[theseatheseatheopensea]

XD Thank you!

[bluedreaming]

Ahh, delightful! (I had so much fun the last two times.)
I’d love a title!

[galerian_ash]

That's great to hear, I'm so glad you're back for more! Your title is "A Stranger Passed This Way", best of luck!

[bluedreaming]

Thank you!

Hello again! :)

This sounds interesting. May I have four titles please? No series preference.

[ride_4ever]

Got 'em! And please tell me the associated TV show that goes with the title -- I'll want to mention that in my Author Notes.

[senmut]

May I have one title? Bonanza would be my choice.

[rhi]

Could I have a title from Have Gun, Will Travel, pls?
