Admin Post: New Challenge: Science/Faith

[seleneheart]

I'm posting this early because I'm about to go to the airport, headed for Chicago, as it happens. Don't worry, the previous challenge is still open until midnight.

I had reason to look up the episode of LOST titled Man of Science/Man of Faith (for research reasons, you know how it goes). due South has a lot of ways to explore that conflict. The Vecchios were devout Catholics, and the Frasers seem to be completely scientific from what we know of Fraser's grandparents. There's also the instinct vs. logic that caused Benton and Ray K. so much trouble.

It doesn't have to be conflict - take any science topic, or any faith topic and explore it in the context of due South.

Notes on tagging: after conducting the author poll, I'm going to change the tagging system, but it's a long process, so please be patient. If you've posted here recently, you have an author tag- author: username. Please use it, and if you don't have one yet, I will get to it. From now on, the format for challenge tags will be- challenge: challengename.

Authors- you are welcome to go through and fix your own entries if you like.

This challenge will run until July 28, 2019 at midnight, Chicago time (CDT, UTC-6). Please tag your entries with 'challenge: science/faith'. Have fun, everyone!

If you have suggestions for future challenges, please comment to the community sticky post with your idea.

I'm currently at the Con*Strict multifandom slashcon in Nevada and then I will be home for less than a week before leaving for the RCW 139 dS 25th anniversary con in Toronto. With all this going on I probably won't get any flash fic written for this challenge. (However, we did have a flash fic writing thing at this con. We got a four-word prompt and five minutes to write a fic using all four words, and a new set of four words and five minutes again and again for an hour. Ninety-nine per cent of what fandom I wrote was dS, and one was Firefly fandom.)

Sounds like fun!
