Spooky times are upon us! Clark and Lex are up against the things that go bump in the night, and not in a fun way (well, maybe a little fun). Your mission will be to give us a truly terrifying (or hilarious) story, vid, fanmix, or piece of art.
This year we’re gonna shake things up. Below is a list of Halloween/horror items from which you will create your challenge piece. Here’s how it works:
1. Comment here for your prompts.
2. You will get a reply with a prompt from each of the following lists.
3. Then, you will attempt to create something deliciously Clexy from these three prompts.
Tropes
Ancient Evil
Witchcraft
Trick-or-Treating
Masquerade/Mistaken Identity
Transformation
Body swap
Asylum
Spooky old house
Curse
Critters and the Undead
Black cat(s)
Bat(s)
Werewolves
What-Has-Science-Done Lab Monster
Vampires
Zombies
Ghosts
Reapers
Elder Gods
Props
Tarot Cards
Candle(s)
Bell
Candy
Wand
Broom
Cauldron
Enchanted Object (ex. jewelry, toy)
Magic Book
Rules
1. All works must be Clex-centric!
2. Comment here for your prompts by October 1st.
3. Post your fic/vid/art to this community by October 31st.
4. All entries should be posted to this community so they can be archived for future members. (You can certainly flock them if you want to keep your fannish activities private from rl.)
5. Length: 1000 words and up for fics.
6. Finished works only, please.
7. Warnings:
a) Include warnings for rape, abuse, incest, self-harm, mental illness, or death. Anything you think might trigger. If you know there are no triggers, write “NONE,” and if you are unsure, write “CNTW” (Choose Not To Warn). No one should judge you for a CNTW. These options give people who might be triggered the ability to read the warnings section quickly and opt out if necessary.
b) Only the above types of warnings belong in the warnings section. If you have other things like “mpreg,” comments on characterization, statements about the AU, or anything else, include this under “Author’s Notes” or “Includes.”
8. Don’t warn for slash or boykissing. This is a Clex challenge. We got it.
9. Include the following header at the top of your entry:
Title:Category: fic/art/vidPrompt(s):Warnings:Includes:Summary:Word Count:Author’s Notes:
The above can be copied and pasted for the ease of the participants. You can add identifying information if you like, or if you don’t need the “Includes” section or “Author’s Notes,” then they are not required. “Warnings” are, however.
