neither simple, nor coherent.
ETA: IGNORE THIS, GO OVER HERE, PLZKTHX
So Kratos's 'prompt me' thread reminded me of a thread from the pre-explosion vB. Basically, if you've ever been to a fandom's anon meme on LJ, it's a bit like that. People request fiction they'd like to read, and other people, writers itching for inspiration, write from the requests! Interested?
Details and guidelines:
A) The Fiction
1) The story can be fanfiction from any fandom (note that large fandoms or those known to be popular on TCoDf are more likely to be written) or original fiction.
2) Any genre -- romance, horror, gen, what have you -- is permitted, but do keep in mind the PG-13ishness of the forums. If it involves explicit sex, violence, language -- anything that would go above that to NC-17 or R -- link it offsite to your LJ or pastebin or something. With plenty of content warnings.
3) There's no length maximum or minimum -- well, okay, it's 'flash' fiction, so if the forums whine at you that it's too long to fit in one post, you probably went overboard. Awesome! Just. Link it offsite, as noted previously.
B) The Prompts
1) Golden rule: try to keep your prompt:writings ratio about 1:1. Take a prompt, leave a prompt, you know? Certainly you can write as many as you like, but try not to leave, say, three or more prompts without claiming something yourself.
2) There are five open prompt spots at a time. If this thread gets popular, I might increase that (I don't see it getting too popular; the last one didn't) but the point is to let things get written~~!
3) On the other hand, some things just won't get written; sad fact of life. Maybe nobody knows your fandom, or knows what to do with your particular prompt. Unclaimed prompts will disappear after a week to let new ones come in, but if an author 'claims' a prompt, it means they are interested and hopefully currently writing it. Claimed prompts will be removed from the open prompts list and remain for up to two weeks from the day of the claim.
Hmm. That's all, really. I know the linear format of a forum thread doesn't work as great as the commenting section of an LJ entry for commenting on a specific post in this way, but comments and reviews are so totally welcome as well! Also if you have any questions about this thread in general, please let me know.
Well! To start things off, we can ignore the golden rule for the time being. We'll need prompts to write off of, after all! So send 'em in! I'll get the ball rolling with one of my own.
Open prompts:
1) Pokémon Special -- Any two characters from Gens 1-4 visit Isshu! WHAT DO THEY DO -- Midnight
2)
Claimed prompts:
1)
Filled prompts:
1) Pokémon fourth gen -- Cyrus and the "Please Make Sure The Room Is Unoccupied" sign in the Galactic HQ. -- Zora of Termina -- filled by Kratos
2) Any fandom -- your two favorite characters from said fandom, and a fight over a chocolate muffin. -- Zora of Termina -- filled by Verne (who is /terrifying/)
3) Inadvertent prompt -- This is much better and people should use it. -- Midnight -- filled by Verne (who is /still terrifying/.)
