Small Fandom Haikuathon: Round 3: Prompt Collection Post
Timeline:
November 6 - 11: collect prompts
November 11 - 21: posting haiku
How to submit:
Leave prompt/s in the comments here.
The prompts can be fandom, character, pairing, picture, quote, or scenario. Fit as many prompts as you can per comment, and prompt as much as you like.
DO NOT use any abbreviations for things-full fandom names and no squished pairing names.
Format:
Single prompt
Fandom, Character/s|Pairing, word/picture (URLs only, please)/quote/scenario
Multiple prompts
Fandom, Character/s|Pairing, word | word 2 | word + word | word + picture | quote
Example prompts:
Threshold:
Molly|Julian - hot coffee | in bed | afraid
Nigel|Lucas - glasses porn | examination | tangled up on the floor
Adams - any
Superman Returns:
Clark - overwhelmed by kittens
Clark|Richard - professing love | longing | http://pics.livejournal.com/trascendenza/pic/000gh85s
Deep Space Nine: Julian Bashir - alienation | gay rays | talking to Kukalaka
Superman/Batman: Clark/Bruce - fruit porn | cape kink
Painkiller Jane: Jane - “these boots are made for walkin’.”
Dead Like Me: Roxy, Ruby - dinosaur egg
The Fifth Element/Lexx: Xev/Leeloo - hissing
Primeval: Ensemble - dodo wrangling
The Merro Tree: any
You might notice pairings up above are listed with a | symbol instead the regular / slash. That’s because when prompts are collected, all of them will be listed that way; writers will have the choice to interpret the pairing as romantic or gen depending on their preference. Don’t worry about formatting your prompts perfectly, though; the universal find and replace feature is very easy to use. :)
Also, for comic fandoms/fandoms with large verses, you can just say “DCU” or “Marvel,” or you can be as specific as you want, down to the exact comic continuity. But for book and movie trilogies, I’m going to lump them all together so no need to specify which book or movie within the trilogy.
What counts as a small fandom?
Any fandom that isn’t large enough to host its own haikuathon here on LiveJournal, so the definition of “small” is very loose for the purposes of these fests. If in doubt, just go ahead and submit it, anyway-all these haiku are being bookmarked in the same place, anyway.
Other things to keep in mind:
- Using the prompts is 100% optional, so they are by no means required to write a certain character or pairing. Writers are more than welcome to write without prompts; these are just for folks who want to use them. Writers will be able to write for any small fandom they choose, whether it is prompted for or not.
- Writers are allowed (and encouraged!) to be creative with the haiku format; i.e., writing serial haiku, writing haiku dialogue, etc., so even if your prompt seems like it won’t fit into a single 5-7-5 format, you can still submit it.
- To see an example of how this will work, you can check out the last round.
- If you already have some ideas of fandoms/etc. you want to write, feel free to start now; you don’t have to wait. And if you’ve got some old small fandom haiku you wrote lying around, go ahead and dust it off-in addition to prompts being optional, any small fanhaiku, whether newly written or previously written will be welcome (unless it was posted in previous rounds). Just be sure to wait for the master post to comment with any haiku. This one is for prompt collection only.
- Any and all advertising is of course appreciated; if you’d be interested in helping out with that, feel free to drop a comment or contact trascendenza[at]livejournal[dot]com.
