Ladies of Camelot AU Fic Challenge - Prompts Post:
Alrighty, let's get this thing started, shall we?
Leave a prompt in the comment section of this post. I will float this post at the top of the page on the comm for the next week so it's easy to find. The post will remain open to new prompts until next friday, at which point I will make a master list of prompts and lay them open to be claimed.
Prompts should be laid out as follows:
'Category of AU; pairing (or if it's gen); prompt'
For instance: 'Mid-range AU; Gwen/Morgana; Morgana and Gwen are both men'.
1. Minor-AUs:
Where the canon of the show is basically intact but minor details have been altered. For instance: Instead of Merlin, Gwen is the one who is poisoned by Nimueh in 'The Poisoned Challice' and Morgana has to save her; or What would have happened had Hunith come with Merlin to Camelot when he first left home?
2. Mid-range AUs:
This is where the setting and basic laws of the Merlin-universe have been left intact, but the canon has been drastically altered. For instance: Gwen and Morgana are both men. Or Gwen is king Uther's ward and Morgana is her maid.
3. Total AUs:
Where the only thing that remains the same is the characters and everything else has been completely re-written. For instance: Morgana is a modern day popstar and Gwen is a journalist sent to interview her for a magazine. Or Nimueh is the madam in charge of a Victorian brothel and Gwen, Morgana and Sophia are her employees.
1. If you submit a prompt, it would be nice if you could also try to complete one.
2. Fics can be anywhere from drabble-length to full-blown epics.
3. Since AUs can turn into epics quite easily, don't worry about submitting a completed novel-length fic. If you feel like something is going to be so long that you wont be able to finish it before the deadline - which will be the 27th of March, I believe - (or at all), just write as much as you can, submit what you have on the deadline and, if you don't plan on finishing it, add a summery of how you would finish the fic if you had the time/patience.
4. Each prompt can only be claimed once. If we get plenty of participants (say... more than fifteen) then we can up this and say that each prompt can be claimed twice. But if we have only a small number of participants we'll get a wider spread of work if we stick to a one claimant per prompt system.
5. Prompts/fics can be het, slash or gen, but the focus MUST be on the female characters.
In the mean time, people, PLEASE PIMP THIS CHALLENGE. Promote it on your journal, in your profile, on other comms, on boards outside of LJ - everywhere you want, take one of the following banners and link it back to this post.
