discoveredinalj is a slash and gen-friendly LiveJournal community for challenges focused on The Professionals.

According to one fan, it was founded because the safehouse discontinued Challenges:

So byslantedlight and I have been missing the the_safehouse Challenges recently, and so we decided to play on our own while they're getting back on their feet. This week we challenged each other, and I was given bellydance, a candle and snow as my things to include. These are my results. We're going to play again on Wednesday – if anyone else would like to join in, please comment on empty_mirrors lj on Wednesday. Non-fandom specific, but we'd encourage everyone to post to their own ljs/comms!

The first challenge was announced on 15 March 2006 and it was "The National Curriculum Challenge - Geography". The challenge announcements alternated between empty_mirrors and byslantedlight's ljs.[1]

The community has also created its own Pros zines, which can be accessed on the community's profile page, under the name DIALj Bound Zines:

About

discoveredinalj is a seasonal Pros slash* and gen-friendly community dedicated to celebrating halloween, christmas and various other festivals, large and small, as the mood takes us, with our lads - Bodie, Doyle, and the Professionals.

Although there are other places to post Prosfic, art and general homage to the boys, we thought it would be nice to have a community where people could play with challenges and post their own work to those challenges, resulting in occasional little flurries of Pros-goodness to flists across lj. The idea is to have fun, to be inspired and inspiring to others, and to bring a little more Pros into the world - can't be bad, right?

We will post challenges as ideas and celebrations arise (and with a decent space of time for people to respond properly) and for most of these it will simply be a case of commenting to say that you would like to join in, and then posting your fic/art/commentary/creation/whatever! on the appropriate day. Specifics will always be explained in the Challenge Post. Ideas for new challenges are happily received - do email either of the mods at the email addresses below.

Although you don't need to be a member to comment at the comm, in order to post you do need to join the community. If you don't have a livejournal and would like to post, then please send your submissions to either of the mods at the email addresses [...]
