Adam announces affiliation with new charity!



Info from the fan club email:

We wanted to be the first one's to tell you of Adam's brand new partnership with the amazing non-profit charity charity: water.

( More info under the cutCollapse )


Additional information on charity: water

Charity drive:
You know how this works. If you have something to offer make a thread with your offering, and then people interested in sponsoring you can respond. You can offer fic, art, icons, lj headers, twitter backgrounds, poetry, anything you can think of. (Example: For the laptop drive someone made badger badges.) Lets blow that goal out of the water for Adam's birthday.

So, You Want to Join teamlambliff...



This community has moderated membership! Please read the membership guidelines carefully before applying. New membership applications are processed pretty much every day, but at least once a week.

Membership Guidelines

01) Your LiveJournal account must be at least 3 months old when you try to join.
02) Your account must be active. If it appears to be relatively unused (no comments, minimal comments, no picture/interests/friends etc), your membership will not be approved. This rule is very loosely enforced.
03) You must read the community rules. Clicking the join link is a statement that you have both read the rules and agree to abide by them.

People are exempt from the 3 month rule if someone in the community vouches for them.
I never want anyone to feel excluded, and I understand everyone's journal is new at some point. Please know that the membership rules are there to protect the community members, and not to exclude people.

If you were rejected, it's for one of three reasons.

01) Your journal is not active or wasn't at least three months old.
02) You've been removed from the community for bad behavior on a prior occasion.
03) When searching for your name I found evidence that you are joining only to troll/bully our members.

If you would like to vouch for someone, or think you were rejected by mistake

Please leave a comment at the contact-a-mod post. I'll get to your concern as quickly as I can.

Our community rules are pretty common in LiveJournal communities, as are the membership policies. They're set up to assure our community remains a safe place for everyone here, including new members.

This is not a regular ship comm. This is a social community for people who are into Adam and Tommy, together or separately. We talk about a lot of different things, lots of different types of fanfic finds a home here, and we respect everyone. Keep that in mind as you apply to join!

teamlambliff
Rules & Guidelines



teamlambliff is a social community dedicated to fan interaction and discussion relating to the fabulous pairing made up of Adam Lambert and Tommy Joe Ratliff (we also discuss/flail over them separately, and pretty much anything else loosely related), as well as the rest of the band and people who run in those circles. We are the original Tommy-related fangroup.

We post a Badger Discussion Post for general discussion. However, we welcome individual posts as well. Almost every kind of post is welcome here: picspams, fic, fanart, you name it! I just ask that if you are going to post every day that you post a weekly roundup instead to keep from burying other member's posts.

There are only three kinds of posts that are not welcome in teamlambliff:
01) "Where can I find _______?" These questions can be answered in the BDP.
02) Introduction posts. People are encouraged to delurk in the BDP.
03) Posts involving other communities. You can advertise in the BDP, or ask at the contact-a-mod post if you have a special project you want to post about. Pretty much everything is ok, I just want to know first.

- - - - -

teamlambliff has rules to protect you and all of our other members. Please respect them.

01) Remember the golden rule - treat people the way you would want to be treated.
Being mean to any member isn't tolerated, and this includes outside the comm. I want people to feel safe flailing and socializing here.

02) Lock your discussion posts.
All posts are locked by default. Creators of original work in individual posts are allowed to unlock their posts, but their content remains their own. This is to help protect our members, and allow them to feel safe expressing themselves and their opinions.

03) Don't bash fellow members or any other pairing/couple/individual discussed here.
We are here to flail about our boys, but also because we are friends. Expressing dislike and being rude and cruel are not the same thing. We are a social community, so remember to respect each other, even if you have differing opinions.

04) What happens in teamlambliff stays in teamlambliff.
Posting screencaps from the community or copy-pasting information into other communities or websites is, has, and always will be against the rules. Capping or copying original works for use in other communities or websites - including fanfiction, fanart, and other graphic works - is very much forbidden.

05) Trolling and/or bullying will get you banned.
This isn't a democracy and never has been; breaking the rules means there will be consequences, just like everywhere else in society. Rule breaking will result in a warning, and eventual removal from the community if you persist. What you do other places online does matter. Our fandom is small, and it does matter if you are being mean to other members outside the community.

- - - - -

Dictionary Terms:
Lambliff: Adam/Tommy as a pairing, romantic or otherwise. You may see some people call this pairing by another name. It is Lambliff here, because we started the ship.

badger assassins: The official teamlambliff name for Tommy fans, badgers for short. We do not have numbers. Nor do we ever claim his body parts. The name is exclusive to teamlambliff fans. If you're not an active member, you're not a badger.

spaceshipping: The act of shipping Lambliff, stemming from Gagagate 2009 and our chant of "I WANT TO BELIEVE." The community definition is as follows.

spaceshipping is non-srs bsns discussion of why two people are together, no matter if you believe they're actually fucking in real life or not. It's about having a good time, our boys, and the unfing they bring on a daily basis.

Basically? It's all-inclusive shipping. We don't care what you personally believe as long as you keep it fun!

CONTACT-A-MOD



QUESTIONS? CONCERNS?
Please post them here:
ALL COMMENTS ARE SCREENED & ARE PRIVATE BETWEEN YOU AND THE MODS.

Let me know if you have any questions, really ask me anything about the comm you want. I'm an open book, and love this place. Please don't worry about being kicked out for your opinions, and know that you won't be kicked out for posting something you shouldn't have. I'm a firm believer in second chances and talking about things first. Removing anyone from the comm is always going to be the last choice.

If you have a general question you can probably ask in the BDP and anyone can help you out. If it's a question for me specifically as the mod, please try to use this post instead of contacting me personally. This doesn't mean you can't contact me personally, but it will help me stay organized, especially with the large number of members in the community. If it's an emergency, or something you need an answer to right away, I'm almost always on twitter. Tweets (and the listed email) go directly to my phone, which I always have with me.

Sincerely,

(Sorry if you caught my earlier formatting!fail post. It didn't seem to let me add/remove tags after the initial posting, so trying again.)

ONOES A FANVID.

This is the one I started ages ago smack in the middle of my Summer of Glam, and then had to replace things and redo things and then totally fix all of it because the aspect ratios (and thus border sizes) didn't match, and then it turns out that on YouTube there's a big nasty border anyway but idec anymore because it's done enough and finallyyyyyyyy.

So yes. If you don't know the song "Bad Touch" or, you know, aren't familiar with the goings on in the Glam Nation tour at all, FYI this is NSFW. It's me wanting to make a sort of cracky pornvid featuring bassfap and making out and the Glambulge.



Doubleclick on the embed to watch it on the main site so you can choose fullscreen, because the border is way less obnoxious that way.

Also, if by chance it gets taken down or whatnot, a download link!

DONORSCHOOSE UPDATE
GIVING CARD/GROUP CARD INFO


$7,916 donated by 164 badgers & creepers.
6,625 students reached
(and counting!)

GIVING CARD UPDATE
A couple weeks ago we won the second place Giving Card for gaining new donors during the DonorsChoose sub-contest. We voted here to give the card to the most urgent projects, and after consulting with the creepers they agreed. Over the last few days I've distributed the giving card to our most urgent groups. Here's what we funded:

Project: Getting Fit In 4th Grade
Materials Supplied: balls, hoops, jump ropes, and other outdoor physical activity materials for 4th graders
FULLY FUNDED

Project: Water For the Workers
Materials Supplied: water bottles for moderately-to-severely disabled students who are learning to function in a work environment
FULLY FUNDED with our donation & matching offer from FEED USA

Project From Seed to Service: An Organic Gardening Project
Materials Supplied a plant lighting system to grow organic vegetable and flower seedlings in a school garden
PARTIALLY FUNDED by us, now fully funded by others & a matching offer


THE END OF GLAM-A_CLASSROOM
Glam-A-Classroom will end on September 21th with the end of the US tour. Right now we still have 4 open projects remaining on our Giving Page and unless they are funded before the end of the tour I am going to refrain from adding any more. I'd rather see us get what we already have started funded first. Make sense?


TOMMY'S GROUPCARD
Obviously the overseas GlamNation tour is going to put Tommy out on the road for a while and I don't know when or if he'll be checking his post office box. (If someone gets to talk with him before/after a show anytime soon can we try and ask if we can still send stuff to his box while he's overseas? I want to be sure the box is still valid.) It will also take a while to edit, organize, and print the card.

I'd like to have everyone who intends to sign the card to do so by October 1st, then we'll start talking about printing options, costs, and shipping. If you still need to sign the card, please forward proof of your donation to teamlambliff@gmail.com and be sure that whatever you sends shows you donated to the Badgers & Creepers page.

NOTE: If you did not donate monetarily but instead participated in the Bing giveaway, the Art & Fic Drive or the Dollar Donation Drive, please email me the link to the comment where you volunteered your participation and you will also receive the card info for signing.

DONORSCHOOSE UPDATE


GUESS WHAT? WE WON.
As you guys will remember, last month DonorsChoose.org added an extra element to their Glam-A-Classroom project. Anyone who donated in the two weeks prior to August 20th was entered in a drawing to win a meet & greet with Adam. The second element of the contest was that the top 3 team leaders with the most new donors through his or her Giving Page won a large Giving Card to DonorsChoose.

I was just notified that Badgers & Creepers For Charity came in second! Out of all the Glam A Classroom leaderboards, we had the second highest number of new donors in this time period. A LOT of work, promotion, and advertisement went into this, and I want to thank happy_1225 and rae_1985 for helping me whenever I asked. They are good times.

Because YOU GUYS are the ones who pitched in what you could and made it happen, I'm asking for your thoughts on how to spend the $350 Giving Card. There are two ways we can do it; please vote before Sunday which is when I plan on applying the Giving Card. We want Creeper opinions too since you guys are just as much a part of this as we are - for those of you who aren't LJers and can't vote, discuss it with your mods and let me know and I'll definitely add those voices to the poll weight.



BUT WE'RE NOT DONE YET...
Remember that the Glam A Classroom project is still going on! It's never too late to donate, and we have lots of super awesome projects up right now on our Giving Page! If you're #glambroke like the rest of us, Bing is still giving away the $3 Giving Credit (instructions in this post).

DON'T FORGET THE GROUP CARD!
If you've donated to the project through our Giving Page at any point, you can sign the Group Card we plan to print & send to Tommy at the end of the tour! Please forward your receipt to teamlambliff@gmail.com and we'll give you the access information. (Please be sure that your receipt/other proof says you've given to our group.)

(side note: I did NOT mean to tease you guys about this all day yesterday. Car shopping + crap internet while visiting family = Ashleigh's nervous breakdown. BUT THIS IS EXCITING ENOUGH TO FORGET ALL ABOUT THE TEASE AMIRITE)

Methinks I've been lurking long enough! High time I posted something here. By the way of macro and ficlet! =D

My partner-in-crime eaivalefay defies all logic and is able to extricate the most ridiculous things from me. She sent me a picture of Adam arriving in Helsinki. My brain pretty much spit out this macro in response:

( Adam is not a ninjaCollapse )

And I then lost her for about five minutes (to laughter, she says). Then she responded with, "you know u want to fic it?" which was rapidly followed by, "a quick and dirty airport scene" and then "where the band's powwowing about getting out with Stealth, captial S."

How could I not write a ficlet for that scenario?

BADGERS & CREEPERS FOR CHARITY
DONORSCHOOSE GLAM A CLASSROOM UPDATE



$4,549 RAISED - 4,845 STUDENTS HELPED
VISIT OUR GIVING PAGE

We have done a really awesome job so far and we have a lot to be proud of! To date we have either funded projects or currently have open projects in all 50 states! We still have some time to go, however, and I'd like to see us crank it up even more if we can.

I just got an email from DonorsChoose stating that they are adding extra elements to the contest. Read on:
★ From now until Friday, August 20th at midnight EST, any individual who makes a donation to Glam A Classroom will be entered to win a Meet & Greet with Adam
★ They will also be holding a contest to see which fangroup has the most new donors between now and the 20th. The top 3 fangroups who have the most new donors will receive DonorsChoose gift cards to fund extra projects. 1st place gets $750, 2nd place gets $350, 3rd place gets $150.

This is in ADDITION to the prizes they are already giving away.

So to break it on down, what do we need to do here?
★ MAKE A DONATION. Visit our Giving Page and, y'know, give. Even if it's just $1 between now and the 20th, it will enter you in a chance for a meet and greet with Big Al.
★ ENCOURAGE NEW DONORS. If you've never donated, chip in $1. If you know someone who might donate, ask them. (Nothing on our DC page is shippery if this is a concern for you.)

"Okay, Ashleigh, I'm so broke I'm starving and I'm a hermit so I have no friends who will donate," you might be saying. Well. Bing is still handing out $3 Giving Cards. Let me say that again in even bigger font.
BING IS STILL HANDING OUT GIVING CARDS. FOR FREE.

ETA: QUESTIONS WE HAVE BEEN ASKED
★ If you've donated before this new DC contest, during, or after this part of the contest ends, you are still eligible to contribute to the groupcard.
★ As far as I know, this part of the contest does NOT end the whole competition. The competition will carry on 'til DonorsChoose calls an end to it I guess.
★ If you want to cross out personal information in your email proof, that's fine. However, from here on out I do need proof that you have actually contributed through OUR Giving Page and not someone else's so try and find a receipt, a link to your donation, etc that has "Badgers and Creepers for Charity" as the page you gave to
★ If we come in first, second, or third on the new donors page we will donate it to the most urgent projects open on our page.

Pairing: Adam/Tommy
Word count: 2,675
Summary: Tommy briefly attempts to teach Adam guitar. Things happen. Rimming, fingering and sex. Tommy tops.
Disclaimer: Unfortunately I do not own these people. And this isn't real.
Author's Note: This is basically just porn. I haven't submitted any kind of writing other than a 100 word drabble since May, so please be easy on me... but still feel free to correct and criticise. Un-beta'd because I really just wanted to post this before I change my mind. Also, my first Lambliff \o/

Title: Not Complicated
Author: Lenore
Pairing: Adam/Tommy
Rating: Explicit
Word count: 1868
Summary: Tommy's frustrated, and being surrounded by phallic fruit is the last straw.

Note: Inspired by my flist and my picfor1000 picture, which is here. It's not 1000 words, but whatever. Thanks to no_detective for the idea!

(He opens the door to his room and is greeted by the sight of…well, fruit basket isn't the right term. There's no container. It's more of an installation on top of the dresser, with an entire circle of artfully arranged bananas. Tommy drops his bag and stares. He's drowning in dick-shaped objects, like even the hotel concierge can see what Adam manages to be utterly oblivious to and has sent up a consolation prize…)
