Mid-Autumn Moon Festival Celebrations

[wistfuljane]

This September 22nd, it will be Trung Thu or the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival. It's the one holiday that makes me yearn to live in place where right next door I could light colorful lanterns, joining and celebrating with a crowd of people, and I want to mark the holiday somehow so I'm hosting a Most Awesome Asian Characters and Celebrities Challenge similar to Fandom Hot 20 and March Madness. Details and nominations are here! Join me!

An Eid challenge can raise money for Pakistan floods

[dhobikikutti]

This is pretty last minute, but eid_ka_chand's challenge for Eid-al-Fitr focussed on fictional Muslim characters is being sponsored by a number of people in order to raise money for the Pakistan flood survivors.

50 fanworks can raise - $625.

The challenge will close on the end of 11th September 2010. So if you feel you have it in you to write up some meta about a great Muslim character, or make icons of a movie, or even write a drabble, please consider doing it to help us raise the largest amount we can. Write up a fandom pimp post, even, and cross post it here as we start gearing up for yuletide!

Not all Muslims are chromatic, but many are, and we'd love to be able to get more representaiton of them in fandom!
