       Indulge your queen a little for this challenge, if you will. "Glee" was amazing, of course, and I nearly squealed myself hoarse when I saw Idina. I hope you all were able to watch it so you can join in all the water-cooler conversations that are inevitably following. But this challenge also begins the day before the National Day of Silence, which we honor with a photo challenge taken from Adam Bouska's NOH8 Campaign with "Glee" cast member Jane Lynch. It's not our usual photo challenge and may not lend itself as easily to a wide variety of interpretations, but I know how creative you Lords and Ladies can be. So perhaps, just this once, we can lend our voices to those who can't speak out. Off you go now. Write!



Just copy and paste the code below into your weblog to link back to this site!
It should come out looking exactly like the picture above. Tutorial here.



You must:
  • Have your entry set to public.
  • Link to either this site or the blog ring.
  • Come back to this site to let me know that you have posted for this challenge. I will then link to your entry. Rec your entry. Leave you eProps.
  • Have your entry done by April 30th.
  • Have fun.
Happy writing! Be sure to check out everyone's entries. I'm sure they appreciate your feedback.

Are we writing about Glee or National Month of Silence?

@QueenOfOreos - it's a photo prompt -- you can take it in whatever direction you wish, with whatever inspires you, but the general theme is usually found in the post title, in this case, "silence the hate."

Mm, sounds fun.

mine is a slightly off-topic rant, but it's here.

Posted 4/17/2010 at 6:58 PM by mercurialmusic

I would write about how I really dislike the Glee, but I don't think anyone would appreciate that.  Lol!

Ah, to be a happy fool. - Wednesday April 14, 2010

       These people are no fools. Check out what they have to say, then get on with the challenge! Clicky clicky:


       You know, my lovely subjects, sometimes there's just too much going on in this royal noggin, and when multiple opportunities are presented I just get so indecisive! I could not make up my mind this time around so for this challenge we have a triple threat. You may do any or go for the hat-trick -- whatever you feel like.

       So this queen doesn't watch much television. The tube just really doesn't go with the palace decor, you know? But every once in a while I get together with a few other queenly friends and we watch this glorious show called "Glee." I'm sure you've heard of it. Anyway, season one continues on April 13th and this queen couldn't be more excited. =) So in honor of Glee's return, I give you:
Challenge A: What gives you Glee? Seriously. What makes you happy? What are the things that would give you a full blown patronus or that would make you dance around in your pajamas during a raging thunderstorm singing and twirling with draperies? Let's go for a list. We haven't had one of those in a while. 25 things that make you giddy with glee. Aaaand... go!
       You thought that was it?! No no. This challenge just happens to begin on one of this queen's favorite holidays:
Challenge B: That's right, my loyal subjects, it's April Fool's Day. To celebrate, I'd like you to tell me about those things that make you feel foolish. Another list! 25 things on this one, too! Or perhaps you'd like to take it in a different direction? Perhaps you'd like to talk about your favorite April Fool's prank that you've pulled or fell victim to or heard about instead.
       And just to round it out with an uneven letter (but one of my favorites):
Challenge C: Swirl. Combine Challenge A and Challenge B. Perhaps you might get a little more philosophical on this one. Take a page from one of my favorite stories: Don Quixote. Is it better to be an idealist? A happy fool? Or should one take a good look in the mirror of reality? Take some freedoms with this one. Explore.
       If you do multiple challenges be sure to enter them in different posts and I'll list you for each one. As always, you can take this in whatever direction you would like. Let's see what you can come up with!

       P.S. There were a ton of gold stars handed out for the last challenge! Thank you! Please continue to recommend these posts, but this time around the gold stars will be given to anyone who completes all three challenges!

A nose by any other name... - Monday April 5, 2010

       Hello all you Queerish lovelies! It is I, the Kween of the Queens, here to challenge you with my new weekly spot right here on Queerish! It is a rather comfy spot, I think, perfect to jump-start your minds at the beginning of the week, yes? We'll be doing a variety of activities, from simple polls (like this week) to open-ended questions (I'll try my hardest not to giggle at that), and perhaps some good ol' fashioned writing challenges if you're up to it. So settle in, fluff the cushions on your thrones, and take a look at this week's poll:

       We'll start slow. Being a queen myself (and lacking the physiology of your more traditional queen -- I really hope you know what I mean by this), I've noticed in my relative newbness that things seem to tend toward the superficial in this gay old world of ours (some might see that as unfortunate). I'm sure many of us can get bogged down with the notion, but I have a sneaking suspicion that when we get down to the meat of what really matters, all of this superficiality is rather, well... superficial. So. Let's finally put the matter to bed. I want to know what you really think -- and please, be completely honest (it's anonymous, after all). If you feel like writing more about the matter in a post, feel free to do so (let us know!) and we'll link your post at the end of this one.


       Vote now! Recommend and get your friends to vote! I'll gather up all the info and give you the results when I see you next week! Toodles!
