IN CELEBRATION OF THE 2O12 LONDON OLYMPICS

THE H/D GO FOR THE GOLD GAMES 2O12

ARE OFFICIALLY DECLARED

OPEN!

Welcome to the 2012 H/D Go For the Gold games! We hope you'll suit up and join us for two brilliant weeks of H/D-themed mellow writing games and friendly word count competitions, as we celebrate H/D along with the Olympic games in London. Gold, silver, and bronze medals are available in your favorite event, as you work to increase your word count, learn new grammar skills, hand out gold medals to your personal favorite 2012 H/D stories*, hone your word choice skills with 100 word-themed drabbles, participate in writing relays with a fellow H/D writer, run sprints (Word Wars), and more!

We start now with our opening ceremony and you are invited to introduce yourself, declare your participation, and tell us a little about you! Use our template for some fun Olympic-themed questions, but don't worry -- our games are less about competeing against each other and more about fun and camaraderie. You won't be earning points and there are no official teams, so choosing a country to represent and selecting a sport are really just for kicks and won't actually effect your quest for the gold!

EVERYONE IS WELCOME AND INVITED TO PARTICIPATE!

Q: May I sign up at any point during the games?
A: Of course! You are more than welcome to join in whenever you'd like.

Q: How do I introduce myself?
A: To become a Go For the Gold writer, just copy the template in the scroll box below, paste it into a comment, fill in the info, and post. You can tailor your blurbs in fanciful terms of your favorite sport, or use regular words if you prefer.

Q: Which sports may I choose from?
A: This image lists all the events being held at the London games:

Q: I reviewed the template and I don't understand Tricks, Deductions, or Previous Medals. Can you explain?
A: Sure. For an example of these answers, you can view slytherincesss's comment for reference. Tricks are your special writing skills or strengths. Go on, don't be shy! Let us know where you really shine as a writer. Deductions are the area(s) where your writing needs improvement. We all have a bit of an Achilles heel, so please don't think you're the only one. Previous medals is where you showcase your H/D fics and let us all know what you've previously written about our two favorite boys. Feel free to list your fics, and links to your works are perfectly fine!
