The 2010 Apocalyptothon Small Fandoms Fic Challenge
Now that this year's main apocalyptothon fic exchange is over and done -- and thanks to everyone who wrote and read and commented -- it's onto the fic challenge we've been threatening to do since last year. ;)
Every year we take votes to find the most popular fandoms and those fandoms are the ones which get used for the fic exchange. This leaves a lot of smaller fandoms in the lurch. So this year we're opening up the comm to the fandoms who only barely scrape by or don't even make the list.
*
Here's how to post in the comments:
1.To add a new fandom to the comments, post a comment to the original post with the subject line “FANDOM: [fandom name]”.
2.To post a prompt in that fandom, comment to the fandom's prompt with a comment with the subject line “PROMPT: [prompt basics]”. The subject line should include pairing or characters involved and type of apocalypse. Please confine anything more detailed to the body of the comment, and feel free to be as precise or as open-ended as you'd like with your prompt.
3.When filling a prompt, please reply to the prompt with the subject line “FILLED: [fic title]”. You do not have to post the story in the comment(s), you can post elsewhere and link to the story in the comment or even post to the community itself.
Please follow my example for this here in the Vampire Diaries thread. Thanks!

And now the rules:
1.Stories must be longer than 100 words. There is no deadline for any prompt listed below.
2.If a prompt has already been filled, please try to see if you can fill another prompt just to be fair. However, if you're inspired by a prompt that's already been filled, you may certainly write a second story in response.
3.DO NOT delete comments.
4.DO be polite, civil and respectful in the comments. This means no character-bashing, no “your kink is not my kink” wankiness, etc.
5.DO NOT start another comment for a fandom which already has a designated comment thread. This is so that every prompt and story associated with each fandom can be easily found.

This post will be open for new prompts and stories until the start of the next apocalyptothon. Feel free to pimp this out, and have fun! :)
