Old friends, old friends, Sat on their parkbench like bookends A newspaper blown through the grass Falls on the round toes of the high shoes of the old friends Old friends, winter companions, the old men Lost in their overcoats, waiting for the sunset The sounds of the city sifting through trees Settle like dust on the shoulders of the old friends ~Simon & Garfunkel~

Winter Companions is a fest for all things Ten/Jack - fic, art, vids or anything else you feel inspired for, so long as it pairs the tenth Doctor and Captain Jack Harkness. This is how it works:

Phase 1: Prompts

From now until July 23rd, midnight GMT (when is that?) we'll be collecting prompts for the fest.

There are two prompt collection posts - one for general prompts, one for prompts that contain spoilers for the series 3 finale (Utopia/The Sound of Drums/Last of the Time Lords). Anyone can submit prompts, whether you plan to join the fest itself or not.

( submitting prompts )

Phase 2: Writing/creating

Once the prompt posts are up, all you need to do to join is pick a prompt (any prompt) and comment to claim it. And then write/create. No worries, we won't hunt you down and throw you into the nearest black hole if you find you can't complete your fic or artwork or vid - that's just so we can see how many people are interested. :-)

You have until August 27th to write, vid or otherwise create your entry. ( more info )

Any more questions? Leave us a comment here!

If you're all set, go to the prompt posts and leave us your prompts! And don't forget to pimp this fest - the more people join in, the better!

Your mods,
