Welcome to RenFest!

[yarroway.livejournal.com]

Good morrow, all ye Fest-goers! Welcome to our first ever Sick!Wilson Renaissance Festival!

Never been to a RenFest, and have no idea what one is except for what you saw in the episode Knight Fall? Here's some info we hope you'll find helpful. :-)

But in a nutshell, it's kinda like stepping back in time and wandering around a Medieval and/or Renaissance village, often with elements of fantasy and the supernatural thrown into the mix.

So what does this mean for our favorite oncologist, besides a rebirth of sick!Wilsony goodness? Pretty much anything you want it to.

You can go back in time and create something that takes place at any point in the show's history. For example, if you thought season two was the best season ever, you can write a fic, drabble, poem, filk, or create whatever tickles your sick!Wilson fancy for those glorious days of yore. And if you have some old unfinished stories or other goodies on your hard drive that you felt canon had rendered obsolete, you can dust them off and give them another chance. :-)

You can send Wilson back in time to the Renaissance period (or any point in history), whether it's in an AU setting, in a nightmare, in a fevered delirium, due to a head injury, etc. :-)

You could inflict a little woe (or a lot!) on Wilson while he's attending a RenFest.

And don't forget, this event overlaps with Halloween, so please feel free to scare Wilson half to death. Or completely, even if just temporarily. ;-)

So grab a turkey leg, and come join the fun! Just don't touch the one at the end of the table. It has salmonella, and we're saving it for Wilson. ;-)

Ye Olde Badges

[yarroway.livejournal.com]

Greetings, Revelers!

We have made some changes to our badges in order to reflect the spirit of a Renaissance festival.  All badges are self-serve. Although their titles may be new, the badges are mostly the same...mostly.

• New this year is the Archivist badge, which is awarded for cross-posting your new creations on a non-LJ site (e.g., Dreamwidth, AO3, FFN, etc.), as well as any of your older fics that are currently listed in our Triage Area at our emergency shelter.  Just send us a link and grab a badge.


• Reveler badges are the same as the usual Camper badges, and are given for joining in the festivities.


• Scribe badges are awarded for fics and drabbles.


• Bard badges are awarded for filks and poems of all kinds.


• Artisan badges are awarded for art, vids and macros.


• Alchemist badges are awarded for manips and icons.


• There is one higher level badge, the Knight.  You can be knighted if you earn 5 stars in any one specialty (Scribe, Bard, Artisan, Alchemist) and the 5 star Reveler badge.  Alternatively, you can be knighted if you earn 1 star in 3 of the 4 Specialty categories --and you can substitute a 5-star Reveler badge for 1 specialty category.

Confused?  Hopefully the handy-dandy charts below will help.

And as an added bonus, if you want, here are some user pics you can use until you can earn some shiny new badges. :-)

Open Thread for Opening Day! :-)

[geekygecko.livejournal.com]

Ready to earn your first badge and start using it right away?  Cool!

We thought we'd get things started with an open thread.  All you need to do is post a least one comment below, and then go help yourself to the one-star Reveler badge on the self-serve badge thread. :-)

You can:

• Drop by and introduce yourself


• Post plot bunnies or other bits of inspiration for sick!Wilsony goodness


• Share any RenFest (or similar) experiences that might have sick!Wilson potential


• Or you can just help yourself to the refreshments, visit with your fellow fest-goers, bounce ideas off of each other, or whatever your sick!Wilson heart desires. :-)

For example, one time when I attended the Texas Renaissance Festival with some cousins, I forgot to read the handout they give you at the entrance because we girls were too busy buying garlands for our hair. ;-)

So when a RenFest sheriff selected me at random to ask what the king's colors were for that year, I didn't know, and got put in a pillory for a few minutes.  It was all in good fun, of course...until the guy started tickling me and wouldn't stop!  I couldn't catch my breath, and unfortunately, the sheriff was behind me and couldn't see my distress, and my cousins were too busy laughing to help.  I was beginning to think I was going to be literally tickled to death when someone FINALLY realized I wasn't kidding about not being able to breathe, and got me out of that darned thing. :-)

Thank goodness nothing like that would ever happen to Wilson.  Or would it?
