Happy Birthday, Cap!

Starting today, I propose a week of celebration. I know a lot of you are burnt out on Big Bang projects, so the birthday activities I have planned shouldn't be too time-consuming. I also hope there's something for everyone: a fic challenge, an art game, and discussion.


Bithday Flash Fic Challenge: What would be a great gift for Steve? Write a flash fic (Generally written in one sitting, generally 1000 words or less) based on that question. To get you started, here are the prompts we collected last week. Feel free to use them or make up your own.

• A collection of WWII music


• Modern technology formatted specifically for him


• The obligatory Starbucks giftcard


• A 'Day in the Thirties'


• Unusual Cap merchandise, such as a boardgame


• Twister


• Big band music and dancing


• Birthday hugs or spankings


• A day at a sporting event or concert

Fanart Game: Exquisite Corpse is a game where several artists contribute blindly to one picture. The results can be hilarious, eerie, stunning - but are always a surprise. The game has been around in different forms since the Twenties, so it's something young Steve could possibly have played.

If you want to play, comment saying so to this post. I will assign you a part of Cap's body part to draw - head, torso, arm, or leg. Costumed, civilian clothes, swim trunks... it's all good. Use any medium on white paper, and e-mail it to autumnburn(at)gmail(dot)com by next Thursday. I will use photoshop to assemble the portrait. If there's enough interest, we can also do a Tony.

Discussion: What would be your ideal opening and/or closing scene for the Captain America movie? Answer in this post!

Cheers to Giacchino. The man has been consistently awesome lately.

The man is just consistently awesome. I used to play the Lost World game continuiously just for the music.

And Star Trek was beyond belief. I ended up going to it just for the music and the sound design after cleaning it opening night.
